We would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land the Birri-Gubba Juru people and pay our respects to the elders past, present and future for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Indigenous Australia.
Another two weeks have flown past ! Thank you to the CSP who organized the Disco last Friday night. I hear it was a lot of fun and was greatly enjoyed by all.
Over the next few weeks the teachers will be focussing on assessment and reporting. Reports will be available in Week 10 this term. Please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher if you are concerned about their progress.
Administering Medication at School - Please note the changes
All students requiring prescription medication or over-the-counter medication (i.e., medications that have not been prescribed by a doctor) require their parent/ carer to complete a Consent to Administer Medication at School form that can be obtained from our Office.
For medication that is required for less than 30 days, this form can be completed and signed by the parent. For ongoing medication that is required for more than 30 days, the forms must be completed and signed by the doctor. Please note that a new form is required each school calendar year, so all existing consent forms are due for renewal.
All medication supplied to the school must have the pharmacist's label affixed, stating the prescribing doctor's name, the student name, and the dosage. Only medication that has been prescribed to the student by a medical practitioner and is labelled accordingly will be administered by school staff. Parents will need to attend the school to administer any other medications.

Laudato Si' Week: Planting Seeds of Hope in our World
Every year the Catholic Church marks the anniversary of Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical Laudato Si’. From the 19th – 26th of May we celebrate what is means to care for our common home.
In 2023, Pope Francis released a ‘sequel’ to his famous letter called Laudate Deum which reminds us of the urgent need to act.
This year the theme of Laudato Si’ Week centres around ‘seeds of hope’. We are called to consider how we can plant and nurture seeds to be the hope that the world needs during this time of suffering for our planet (Laudate Deum, 2).
A prayer for our earth
This prayer by Pope Francis appeared at the end of his 2015 encyclical Laudato Si'. It is for all who believe in God who is the all-powerful Creator.
All powerful God,
you are present in the universe
and in the smallest of your creatures.
You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.
Pour out upon us the power of your love,
that we may protect life and beauty.
Fill us with your peace, that we may live
as brothers and sisters, harming no one.
O God of the poor,
help us to rescue the abandoned
and forgotten of this earth,
so precious in your eyes.
Bring healing to our lives,
that we may protect the world and not prey on it,
that we may sow beauty,
not pollution and destruction.
Touch the hearts
of those who look only for gain
at the expense of the poor and the earth.
Teach us to discover the worth of each thing,
to be filled with awe and contemplation,
to recognize that we are profoundly united
with every creature
as we journey towards your infinite light.
We thank you for being with us each day.
Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle,
for justice, love and peace.
Amen
