Term 3 Week 3
Barramundi and Bush Fruit Time “The skies are clearing and the clouds are high. When there is a cold wind the old people say that the flowers are calling the cold weather. Doedirra (Green Sea Turtle) are hunted throughout the year except when they are mating and laying eggs. Strict laws decide when they can be hunted. We eat seeds from the Dundit (bush peanut). Damiyumba (Billy Goat Plum) is fruiting. Bilirrawarra (Black Cockatoo) eat the fruit now and the seeds later in the year after the Dry Season fires.”

From the Principal… With the circumstances of interstate travel changing as the situation down south changes, I am asking that all families keep us informed of any interstate travel your family is involved in. Knowing where you have been and when you returned will give our community peace of mind that we are all doing the right thing to protect the safety of students and staff at school. We continue to be vigilant and cautious here at school. In our decision making we use the Northern Territory Roadmap which is underpinned by three principles:
personal responsibility,
physical distancing, and
hygiene You can help minimize the risk by following these rules:
- Do not come to school or send your child to school if there is any possibility that you may
have had contact with a person who has COVID-19. Let’s play it safe.
- Let us know if you or anyone in your household has to go into quarantine or has recently
returned from interstate.
- Do not come to school or send your child to school if either of you are unwell.
- Do not enter any of the school buildings except the office.
- Help us to model best hygiene practices by always washing your hands on entering the
school grounds. Have some sanitizer in the car or use ours on entering the office.
- Drop off your child and leave the school grounds quickly. Go directly to where you need
to go.
Parents of Transition children and Preschool children may stay a little while but please
observe distancing.
- If you have to be at the school, remember to keep your distance from others.
- Make sure we have your correct contact details.

Pick Up and Drop Off Please contact us at school if you would like some support to meet your child at the drop off area in the morning or get them to the pick up in the afternoon. We would like parents to spend as little time at the school as possible so using the drop off and pick up area effectively will help ease traffic flow.
Stuart Park Plant Sale
Stuart Park will be having a plant sale in time for Father’s Day. To help assist us, we are looking for donations of empty pots from home that could be donated to the school. The medium sized pots, roughly 170mm and
190mm in height, are preferred. Also, anything smaller can also be used.
If you have any, please drop them off
next to the bike shed at Upper Primary. Any donations of potting mix and clean takeaway containers would be helpful.
Thanks very much!
Under the guidance of Mr Neville (our plant expert), the Year 4 classes have been busily
planting seedlings and cuttings.
Thank you for your support
Don’t forget your insect repellent
The mozzies and midges have been fierce in the playground. Please apply
insect repellent before coming to School.

We will soon move to School Stream so please download it if you have not already done so. Notifications have probably started to pop up. Remember that you can limit these so you just get them for your child’s year level and when the information is relevant to all (e.g. newsletter).
