Dear Parents and Friends

Today I had the pleasure of participating in Speech with Jo Anne and an initial introduction to our visiting Eurythmist, Anna Kotanidis. I was struck by a Sanskrit poem that was shared and I wanted to share it with the whole community:

Look to this day:For it is life, the very life of life.In its brief courseLie all the verities and realities of your existence.The bliss of growth,The glory of action,The splendor of achievement. For yesterday is already a dreamAnd tomorrow is only a vision;

But today well-lived, makes Every yesterday a dream of happinessAnd every tomorrow a vision of hope.Therefore, look well to this day;Such is the salutation to the dawn!

Please join me to welcome our visiting Eurythmist, Anna Kotanidis. She is visiting us this week and working with classes, Kindergarten to Class 6. Anna recently completed her Eurythmy training in Peredur Eurythmy UK. She has extensive experience in working with children from Early Childhood through to Secondary level in both State and Steiner schools and worked for more than 10 years at the Ballarat Steiner School as a Class 1 and 2 teacher. Her special interests are in Art, Dance, Drama and Photography. She currently lives with her family in Melbourne Victoria and is considering offering Eurythmy in South Australia into the future.

Parents are invited to meet Anna this Thursday morning at 9am in the Eurythmy room. Please sign in at the front office.

Front Office - Health

Please note we have reported cases of conjunctivitis.

ConjunctivitisAn inflammation of the lining of the eye and eyelid caused by bacteria, viruses, chemicals or allergies (colour plate no. 3).Symptoms may include:• Redness in the whites of the eyes• Irritation in one or both eyes• Discharge, causing the eyelids to stick together in the

morning• Swelling of the eyelids• Sensitivity to light.Diagnosis is made by clinical and / or microscopic examination and culture of discharge from the eye. It is usually not possible to tell whether the conjunctivitis is caused by bacteria or viruses without laboratory tests.Viral and bacterial conjunctivitis can be spread by direct contact with eye secretions or indirectly by contact with towels, washcloths, handkerchiefs and other objects that have been contaminated with eye secretions. In some cases it can be spread by insects such as flies. Conjunctivitis caused by chemicals or allergies is not infectious.

Incubation period (time between becoming infected and developing symptoms) is usually 24 – 72 hours. Infectious period (time during which an infected person can infect others) is while the eye discharge is present.TreatmentAntibiotic eye drops or ointment may be prescribed by a doctor. Since bacterial and viral infections look the same, a person with symptoms of conjunctivitis should always be seen by a doctor for examination, diagnosis and treatment.Control of Spread• Exclude from child care, preschool, school or work

until discharge from the eyes has ceased.• Good personal hygiene (careful hand washing, using

soap and warm water) must be followed• Do not share towels and wash cloths.

Imagine for a moment….Don’t miss the Class 12 Project Presentations over the coming two weekends in the Living Arts Centre. (See program in this newsletter). This weekends’ talks are: Friday 15 November 4.30pm afternoon tea, talks from 5pm.Saturday 16 November from 8.30am to 3.00pm.Sunday 17 November from 8.30am to 3.000pm. Come and explore the worlds our Class 12 students have adventured through this year. Share their deep and varied questions and hear their reflections. Everyone is welcome! This is a heart-warming community event where we, the audience, can appreciate how far our students travel through their years at our school. The students also look forward to the experience as a moment of personal fulfilment and recognition. They can share their personal work and journeys with you, the community. This takes some courage and much preparation. We look forward to seeing you there!
