Dear Parents and Carers,
We wish everyone a happy and safe holiday and look forward to your return on Tuesday 13th July.
Staff will be engaged in Professional Learning on Monday 12th July. We thank you for your support of this important opportunity.
NAIDOC Week is fast approaching (4-11 July 2021) and this year’s theme is Heal Country, Heal Our Nation. This week we invite you to spend a moment to give thanks for ancient indigenous wisdom and the gift First Nations people offer as caretakers of the land. Through ancient indigenous wisdom, deep listening and unity, we can heal the pain and address the cries of the land and its people.
We will be celebrating NAIDOC week with the children early next term.
COVID-19 Pandemic and travel
As you would be aware, the COVID pandemic continues to impact communities. With the current situation and circumstances often changing quickly, it is important that we are all alert to national outbreaks, exposure sites and all subsequent health and travel alerts announced by ACT Health and other state health agencies.
Please be vigilant with any travel plans during the break and continue to refer to the COVID-ACT webpage for up-to-date alerts, information and potential impacts on travel plans, notification and isolation requirements.
Please continue to inform the school if COVID testing is occurring within families and we request that children remain home if unwell.
Please keep you and your family safe by checking in regularly with the COVID 19 health advice website.
Take care and God bless,

Helping girls to stand tall
Girls handle conflict in one of three ways: like a shark (aggressively), a turtle (passively) or an owl (assertively).
In this article we look at each style, and provide ways to help your daughter develop effective patterns she can use to resolve conflict amicably, respectfully, and effectively so she can stand tall and feel confident in her own skin.

ICAS Assessments
Sacred Heart will be participating in the world-renowned ICAS Assessments again this year. The assessments are offered to children in Years 2-6. Parents can choose to enrol their child in these tests. Each test costs between $17-22. The assessment will be held in school hours during August. Anticipated dates and test costs are listed below. The assessments will take place at school at the most suitable time on that day. Access the PDF note here or pick up one from the office.
Mums’ Gone Wild
A huge thanks to Meg Salter from Aurdian Training and Consulting and RecruitableHub (mum of Emmy and Bobby) for leading us through a fun and informative workshop on Sunday night.
About 40 women attended our community event. If you see us watching your body language, in particular what you are doing with your hands, know that we are building our communication skills. ‘Physiology of Confidence’ was a fun way to build skills in being more assertive in the workplace.
The evening was a fun way to reconnect our community and to meet some new women. It was great to see so many new faces come along and feel the support of our nurturing community.
I wonder what the Dads could organise?
The Vinnies Winter Appeal provides emergency relief to people at risk and experiencing homelessness. Your donation and support will help ensure that families at risk of homelessness get the financial and emotional support they need to keep themselves and their children safe.
Particularly in these colder months we ask for:
- Blankets
- Large Jackets
- Large Jumpers
- Warm Gloves and Socks
- Sleeping Bags
These donations then go directly to people in need in your community.
The Sacred Heart Community is encouraged to donate any of the items listed above to help support the Vinnies Winter Appeal. Donations can be handed into the Front Office.
Beebots
1Red investigated how to program the beebots to make them move to a target. We had to use our inquiry skills when our first attempts missed the path we wanted the beebot to travel on.
Kindergarten Cooking with Mrs Kane
Mrs Kane welcomed Kindergarten into the Maker Space this week to teach them how to make Pikelets.
2 White
2W have created mini earths pledging to be stewards of creation. When creating the earth, 2W had to follow a set of directions on where exactly to position the paint by using positional language such as north, south, east and west.
Playgroup

Thank you also to Carol, Ruby and Matilda for their donation of ingredients to make play dough.
