Lord, lead us to be peace-makers, building connections between individuals, focusing on what unites people rather than on what separates us and highlights our differences.
Lord, it’s easy to harm relationships; instead, give us the power of your Spirit that we may build up and make new the bonds between people. Amen.
Dear Parents and Friends of St Anne’s
As I type this newsletter the Foundation, Year 1, 2 and 3 students are off to Legoland. I hope that this excursion captivates these students like it did for the Year 4, 5 and 6 students yesterday. Lots of fun, enthusiasm and learning took place at Legoland; a great day was had by all.
END OF TERM TWO
A reminder that students will be dismissed at 1pm on Thursday 22 June. Term three commences on Monday 10 July.
STAFFING
Sarah Parker has just commenced long service leave. Sarah will return to work on the first day of term 3 - July 10. For the last 3 weeks of term 2, Ryan Kittelty will be teaching Year 4 Wednesday - Friday. During this three week period I will be teaching Year 4 on Mondays and Tuesdays.
From the beginning of term 3, Ryan Kittelty will be taking leave until the end of the year. For terms 3 and 4, Sarah Parker will be teaching Year 4 Monday - Thursday. For the first three Fridays of term 3, Tim Allen and myself will be teaching Year 4. As of Friday August 4, Jenny Stewart will be teaching Year 4 on Fridays until the end of the year.

For terms 3 and 4, Tara Smith will be teaching Year 5/6 Monday - Thursday. Una Manicle, currently on family leave, will be teaching Year 5/6 on a Friday from the beginning of term 3.
I trust that Sarah enjoys her break. I hope that Ryan enjoys his travel, and I thank him for his significant contribution to our school this year.
The students will be involved in fun activities on the day. Cooking, dancing, art classes and Italian games. They will sing some Italian songs and show off their wonderful costumes at the assembly in the morning.
There will also be a performance by a FANTASTICO MAGICIAN- LUIGI ZUCCHINI in the afternoon. I hope that parents and friends will join us on the day to celebrate ITALIAN DAY AT ST.ANNE’S in the morning.
The students are asked to bring an Italian lunch on the day. You could also bring some Italian food/desserts to share with the class.
I am hoping to organize GELATO on that day. If anyone has contacts, please let me know (SIGNORA ANTONELLA)
If there are parents who have a PIZZELLE MACHINE and would like to help make them at school so that we can share them with the students on the day -that would be great..
Please contact me by e-mail if you can help in any way on the day aliberale@sannekewe.catholic.edu.au
