Our Term 3 Parent Teacher Meetings are TODAY
Monday 4th September.
Please book a time to see your child's teacher. It is a great opportunity to hear about your child's strengths and challenges in their learning. Then you will be able to see samples of their work at our Celebrate the Learning evening.
On this Thursday 7th September, Years 3-6 will be attending the District Athletics which is being held at Tom Kelly Athletics Track, 123 George St, East Doncaster. We will be leaving school at 9.00am and returning at approximately 3.00pm.
The children are required to be at school by 8:50 am so we can leave at 9am SHARP, as marshalling of events will begin at 9:25am.
Students will need to bring a healthy snack, lunch and plenty of water. School sports uniform is to be worn. Please take note of the weather and gear them appropriately i.e. sunscreen/rain jacket.
Looking forward to a great day.
As a part of my trip to Darwin we visited Bathurst Island in the Tiwi Islands. Whilst there we got to meet with Sister Anne (92) who is still working within the community.
We had the pleasure of visiting the little cypress pine mission church which is in serious need of renovation. It was built in 1941by Peter De Hayr.
Every log was put through the mill. No fancy finishes, except the curved timber to give the added beauty to the ceiling. Not one piece of planned timber exist in this beautiful old mission church.
Peter realised that white ants were the number one worry when he begun constructing the church. He found ironwood, cut it into beams and 82 years later those iron wood uprights have saved this beautiful monument that we want to restore to its pristine beauty.
The East Central Zone schools are all conducting a fundraising events to provide funds towards the renovation of this mission church.
I am hoping that St Timothy's can contribute with other East Central Schools with a gold coin or greater donation on our Celebrate the evening night. Interested to know more ? - See Slideshow including videos ( some shorter than others)
Friday 15th September is Footy Colours Day.
We ask children to come dressed in their favourite Footy team colours or football gear.
The year 6 children have organised special activities to enjoy throughout the day.
We all had a lovely time at Healesville Sanctuary on Friday. There were many excited children on the bus on the road to Healesville and some VERY tired children on the way back. It was a very busy day as Healesville has so many exciting habitats to visit . We will have displays to share our adventures at next weeks Celebrate the Learning.
