Week 10 - Week 1 Timetable
Dear Parents, Guardians, Students and Other Parishioners, As we are only at school for four days this week, we have a mini-newsletter to share with you. Tomorrow is a Curriculum Day and staff will be working on evidence and data we have collected over the last 4 years to review the school improvements over that time and to begin planning for the next 4 years. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS This week was the Annual General Meeting of the St Elizabeth’s School Board. Many thanks to the parents who accepted nomination for a Parent Representative position and to the parents who attended the meeting. I am delighted to announce that Sue Hatley-Smith, Joanne Cameron and Samantha Pirotta will all be your Representatives for 2014 and 2015 and Pina Martino will replace Maria Pizzarusso who left halfway through her term. Pina will serve one year in this position. Many thanks to parents who nominated for positions and who did not get elected, your offer of support was very generous. Thanks again to Claude Fazio, Maria Pizzarusso, Janine

Principal’s Message (continued) ... symptoms of an anaphylactic reaction. Please do not use nut products for school lunches. Birthdays are a great time to share food and if you do send a treat to be shared in a community, we will give it out, BUT, the children will eat it at their home, not at school. Please help your children understand why we ask them to take any treat home and eat it at home!

Last Thursday our two softball teams, mixed basketball team and kanga cricket B’s travelled to Westall Primary School to play in the District finals. The weather was perfect for the big day. The format is the top four teams from the season play in two semi finals, and then the two win-ners play off in the grand final. In the semi finals, the basketballers lost by a solitary point and the kanga cricket B’s lost narrowly as well. Both softball teams tied their games and had to play an extra innings, in which they both won. Then in the grand finals our two teams had convincing wins. St. E's now have two new premiership pennants that were presented to the teams at assembly. Thank you to the teachers and parents that supported this fantastic program throughout term 1. Both Auskick and NetSetGo! will start in the first week of Term 2 on Wednesday 23rd April. Details on how to register will be in next week's newsletter. Other details, or questions you may have, for the programs can be found on www.aflauskick.com.au or www.netsetgo.asn.au Yours in Sport Dean Andrew
