Dear Families,

We welcome back from leave Ms Cathy Doran, Mr Joe Baldacchino, Mrs Jan Quinn and Miss Teagan Cullum. We

hope they had a great time on their leave. I would like to thank Mrs Nicole Azarnikow for taking on the role of

Acting Deputy Principal over the past two weeks. I have greatly appreciated her support.

This Friday we celebrate ‘Day for Daniel’. The Day for Daniel is a National Day of Action to raise awareness of

child safety, protection and harm prevention. Children are encouraged to wear red. Thanks to Mrs Azarnikow for all

her work organising this special day, and for all she does in her role of Child Safety Officer at St Paul’s.

I have updated the ‘Dates to Remember’ for the remainder of the year. As you can see, there is a great deal on in the

next eight weeks. I ask you to attend as many school functions as you can. It is a great way to build community and

for you to enjoy your child’s educational experiences. We look forward to your attendance.

At the end of the newsletter, there is a note to be returned to school advising us if your children will not be returning

to St. Paul’s in 2020. Please return it to school promptly if your children are not returning next year as we are

beginning to plan for 2020.

A reminder that we will be celebrating Mass to commemorate All Saints Day and the Feast of St Anthony Claret on

Friday 1st November at 9.15am at St. Paul’s Church. We will also have Mass on Friday 8th November at 9.15am for

our Mission Mass. Family and friends are very welcome to attend.

A reminder that there will be no school on Monday 4th November (Cup Eve) and Tuesday 5th November (Cup Day).

Have a great week.

Yours sincerely,

Damian Casamento

WALK TO SCHOOL OCTOBER 2019! We have had many children make an effort to walk at least part of the way to school or walk on our D.C.G. during

our Walk to School October. Last Thursday Jessica from the Brimbank Council organised fresh fruit for our children

during their D.C.G. walk, which they happily devoured! We are walking to school for the rest of October.

Dear Families,

We encourage you to look at your child’s SeeSaw posts and discuss with your child about his/her

learning. You may like to ask…

Tell me what is happening in your SeeSaw post?

What were you trying to learn?

What new learning happened?

What did you most enjoy from this learning?

If you have problems getting access to SeeSaw, please contact the office for support.

NO HAT – NO PLAY A reminder that all children should be wearing the St. Paul’s hat when they are outside. Any students not wearing

the hats will be required to sit in the shaded area of the yard. No other hats are permitted to be worn. We encourage

families to apply sunscreen to their children at home before they leave for school.

parishioners in the school library. You are invited to join us in prayer this Monday October 28th at 1.30pm.

Granary Cafe Grand Opening

On Monday I went to the Granary Cafe because I really wanted to go there.

I had never been to the Granary Cafe and I was told they put my artwork on

the wall. Also on the walls were other castles, a water drop with fish in it and

lots of other artworks by students from our school. I liked it because

Richard, my brother, said “Do you want a chocolate milkshake?” and I said

“Yes”. I felt good that my artwork was on the wall because my family went

with me and they were proud of me.

On Friday the 25th of October, St. Paul’s will be participating in the registered event

‘Day for Daniel’. This day supports our St. Paul’s Child Safety Awareness

Programs that are based on the Daniel Morcombe Child Safety Curriculum. On this

day, students are encouraged to wear something RED. Students will also be

continuing to work on the series of child safety awareness lessons planned and

delivered by their classroom teachers. These lessons promote and teach students to

Recognise, React and Report if they find themselves in situations that make them

feel unsafe. We encourage you to continue to talk to your child about what they are

learning in class. Some resources that you may find useful can be found on the

Daniel Morcombe website under 'Safety Resources' or by visiting

www.recognisereactreport.com.au .
