Holy Rosary

I cannot do anything on my own; I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me.

John 5:30

Hi Everyone,

A really big and beautiful week this week. Our thanks to you for having your children ready for the photos on Monday and Tuesday. Joe Kinder coordinated the days - no mean feat, and we thank him and the two staff from MSP Photography.

Literacy Immersion Day was on Wednesday and the children and their buddies really engaged with this amazing project. There were dinosaurs everywhere!

Rob Flexman was responsible for organising the Interschool Swimming Carnival on Thursday - and very successfully too! We came first! First in Division A, for the first time ever! Another logistical challenge with eight schools involved. Each one had a great time. Thank you Rob and congratulations to you, and to the team who gave their all.

Kindy 2025 is fully subscribed. Kindy 2026 interviews are now well underway, and I look forward to meeting more new families. In nearly all cases, families new to Holy Rosary have a connection here. We do invest in advertising, but overwhelmingly it is ‘word of mouth’ which brings them to our place. For that support we are very, very grateful to you, thankyou. It makes all the difference.

I think that acknowledgement of our P&F Executive - Rose and her Committee - and their supporters is too good to miss! This is a major term for everyone involved.

• Pre-primary Playground Busy Bee. The playground was literally created and extended by parents a few years ago and the sense now is that there is an opportunity to freshen it up. It means a lot.
• Mother’s Day Breakfast! Again, a new approach. Record numbers last year. We hope to see you in town!
• And also see you at the Year Five Assembly afterwards. Yahoo!

• And, of course, May 24 Prom Night! A BIG night for parents, enjoy, enjoy!!!!!

Have a great weekend

Mark

Our Enrolment Officer Kath Hewitt is leaving us! Sad to say Kath finishes Friday next week and is leaving to work in her children's school. Kath, we have loved our time with you. You are an amazing person, and such good fun! We wish you every happiness over there.

Andrea Boots is taking over from Kath and has already started the transition this week. Andrea, we are so pleased that you are joining our admin team, and look forward to a great journey ahead!

Our MJR award winners for Week Three are Amelia F and Zayn d L . They are recognised for displaying the MJR values at Holy Rosary on a daily basis. They displayed kindness and compassion to those around them. Congratulations!!

Dear Holy Rosary Community,

We are thrilled to announce that Holy Rosary Primary School made history at the CPSSA Division A Swimming Carnival held at HBF Stadium on May 2. For the first time ever, our school emerged victorious, claiming the coveted title in a fiercely contested battle.

Facing stiff competition from Ursula Frayne, our swimmers showcased exceptional skill and determination, securing our victory with a mere 23-point lead. With only 146 points separating the top 5 schools, every stroke counted in this intense competition.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all our champion swimmers who exemplified the spirit of sportsmanship and excellence:

**Year 5**

1st Place: Sam B

2nd Place: Emme C

3rd Place: Georgie B

**Year 6**

2nd Place: Olivia C

3rd Place: Tayte M

We are immensely proud of our swimmers and commend them for their outstanding achievements. Let us continue to support and celebrate their successes as they continue to shine both in and out of the pool.

Warm regards,

Rob Flexman

On Wednesday, all students from Kindy to Year Six took part in a whole school literacy immersion day. Paired with their buddies, our students spent the morning learning about dinosaurs, by participating in a range of hands-on activities. This helped our students gather information and ideas to supplement the written tasks they completed later in the day with their teachers.

This was a brilliant event, which all students loved being a part of.

We thank Ms Berry, Mrs O’Neill, Mrs Green and Mrs Craig for organising such a fun day!

Next week is the Scholastic Book Fair in the library. The BOOK FAIR GARDEN, “Catch the Reading Bug” as the theme, is lots of fun, gives our Library Monitors some leadership opportunities and provides lots of FREE new books (and funds) for our school library. There will be no book borrowing while the Fair is on.

We ask that different year groups attend on different days to spread out the crowds and reduce time queueing outside.

Kindy/PP parents are asked to attend on Thursday morning 8.15 - 9am

Year One parents are asked to attend on Thursday afternoon 3 - 3.30pm

Year Two parents are asked to attend on Friday morning 8.15 - 9am

Year Three and Six students will shop on Thursday at lunchtime

Year Four and Five students will shop on Friday at lunchtime

Please note the Book Fair will close after lunch on Friday.

This week, the children were given a brochure in library time, with online payment details overleaf. Next Wednesday, classes are invited to visit the fair in school time to complete their wish list to bring home. Students can pay with cash or the pre-payment form, including the receipt number and amount paid in their shopping time. Please ensure the receipt number and payment amount is clearly noted, and maybe take a copy/screenshot in case it gets mislaid on the way. Kindy - Year Two Parents will have access to the EFT machine during their shopping time.

Thank you to the parents who have volunteered to help. I am desperately in need of more volunteers. If you are able to assist before (8.15am - 9am) or after school (3pm - 3.45pm) on Thursday or before school (8.15am - 9am) on Friday, please contact me via the front office.

Thank you so much for your support.

See you next week for all the fun of the fair!

Mrs Butson
