What a busy few weeks we have had! It has been wonderful celebrating Catholic Education Week and NAIDOC week. The students have enjoyed the various activities organised at school to deepen their understanding of these important events. We have participated in liturgies, shared our favourite hymns, read stories about Catholic identity, created dot painting bookmarks and weaved items out of coconut palm leaves. Also, one can’t forget the incredible effort everyone went to for Crazy Hair Day. The donations raised will support children battling cancer. 

Please keep your eye out for a homework task about a heritage site around Weipa your family has visited. I would love for the students to share their knowledge of the different local places of historical importance. Places such as Red Beach (Middens and Scar Trees), ANZAC Park and the ANZAC memorial, the old post office and the plane wrecks at Penny Father. Students will be asked to present their significant site to the class. 

I look forward to seeing as many parents as possible at our Year 2 assembly next week and hope you are all working on your book week costumes for week 6.
