As a result of the children and families purchasing from our Book Fair, we were able to purchase more books from our 'rewards' to place in our School Library. The children had input into the choice of books and are very excited to start borrowing from this fabulous Book Bonanza!
We have again been successful in our application for a Sporting School Grant for Term 3. Next term we have reached out to Badminton Australia/Victoria to provide specialised instruction in Badminton. At this stage we have booked Thursday 3rd August, 10th August, 17th August and 24th August. These dates will be confirmed next term.
I would like to extend my thanks to all of St Timothy's Community for your generosity with our St Vinnies Winter Appeal. We received wonderful donations of food, beautiful and practical baby products, scarves, jumpers, fabulous coats, gloves, beanies, backpacks and bed rolls just to name a few items. I am sure St Vinnies will be extremely grateful for all these donations.

Semester One School Reports ( Term 1 & 2 ) were sent next week to parents Wednesday.
Assessment and reporting are essential elements of the learning and teaching process.
Assessment is the ongoing process of gathering, analysing and reflecting on evidence to make informed judgements on student learning.
Reporting is the process by which this information is communicated to you, the student’s parents/guardians.
We report student achievement against the standards in the Religious Education Framework and against the standards in the Victorian Curriculum.
The report is intended to provide clear written information of your child’s achievement over Semester 1.
The report indicates - Achievement during the reporting period against the standards in the Victorian Curriculum by :
A shaded area (in the table) indicating the expected level for your child’s year level at this time of year
A 5 point descriptive scale of performance against the expected standards at the time of reporting:
at the standard expected for their year level at the time of reporting
above the standard expected for their year level at the time of reporting
well above the standard expected for their year level at the time of reporting
below the standard expected for their year level at the time of reporting
well below the standard expected for their year level at the time of reporting
Where applicable:
The open dot indicates your child’s achievement 12 months ago
The solid dot indicates your child’s current achievement standard.
Parents Teacher Interviews will be held at the end of Term 3. If parents have any questions in regards to their child's report, they welcome to make appointments to discuss their child's progress/report before this time.
You can order online each Wednesday and the lunch orders will be delivered to school. If you haven't ordered previously you will need to create an account.
Orders MUST be placed prior to 8:30am.

Parish Newsletter Saturday 24th June and Sunday 25th June‘
Do not be afraid’ is one of the most commonly repeated sentences in the Bible. In one form or another, the command to ‘be not afraid’ or ‘fear not’ appears several hundred times throughout the Old and New Testaments. Today’s gospel passage is part of the sending out of the Twelve that occupies all of Chapter 10 in the gospel. It follows a little later in the chapter from last week’s reading in which Jesus called the Twelve and sent them out as Apostles. The remainder of the chapter provides an extended teaching on what it means and what it costs to take the message of Jesus out into the world. Jesus teaches the Twelve that the message they bear will not always be well received and there will be those who will seek to silence the Apostles through violent means. But then the teaching comes to the section of today’s passage and Jesus commands the Twelve, ‘Do not be afraid’. The message to not be afraid is as much for the original intended audience of the gospel as it was for the apostles. The community for whom this gospel was written were on the verge of being ‘squeezed out’ and forced into secret. The passage reminds them to have courage and to have the courage of their convictions; to shout from the house-tops their message, not whisper it in darkness. It is a reminder of the abundant love of God who cares for them and sees all their efforts to continue to live out the message and ministry of Jesus. It is equally a message for us, today. We are called to continue the spread of the gospel message; continuing the work of those early Christian communities, the Twelve and Jesus himself.
Wishing all our St Timothy's School Community a happy, safe and restful holiday. We are looking forward to an exciting Term 3. We have many wonderful learning experiences in store for the children. It is going to be a very busy term, so children will need a good rest. See you in Term 3.
