From the Principal Dear Lord, help me to live each day quietly, easily.

To lean upon your strength truthfully, res ully.

To wait for the unfolding of your will pa ently, serenely.

To meet others peacefully, joyfully.

To face tomorrow con dently, courageously.

Amen.

Welcome to our Week 2 newsle er.

A very warm welcome to Miss Napoli, Mrs McDonald and Miss Du Toit who have have joined our teaching team for the rest of the year. We look forward to hearing about all of the great things that are happening in your classrooms. Sadly we farewell Mrs Lauren Jenkins tomorrow. Mrs Jenkins has been a student at Infant Jesus, has spent most of her teaching career at our school and has made a huge impact on our community. We wish her all the best as she broadens her horizons. We are very pleased that Miss Kate Witkowski will be joining us full me to teach both Phys Ed and Health.

Congratula ons to Mr Rocco Capolingua who last week competed in the World Taekwondo Grand Prix Challenge, winning his event and becoming the Open World Taekwondo champion. We are thrilled for Mr Capolingua!

Congratula ons also to the Trutwein family who have welcomed a new baby brother to their family. Welcome to the Infant Jesus community Oliver.

We are trialling the URStrong program in our school with our Year 2, 3 and 5 classes. URStrong is about empowering kids with friendship skills and will become a school wide program next year. Teachers of these classes will be sending home informa on via SeeSaw about what is happening in the classes and how parents can be involved. We will also be publishing some informa on in our newsle ers.

Sadly some of our families experienced the loss of a loved one over the school holidays and our thoughts and prayers are with them during this di cult me. The school is here to support any of our families who experience loss and we are fortunate that we have our Social Worker on site to help guide them.

Our Year 3 and 5 students will be par cipa ng in the Religious Educa on Assessment (REA) next week. This assessment is a system wide assessment which helps to measure student learning of the content in the Religious Educa on curriculum. NAPLAN results for these classes will be sent home tomorrow. If you haven’t already cha ed to your child’s teacher about these, please don’t hesitate to contact them directly to make an appointment.

If you have not already reserved your cket for our Surf Safe Online Parent session on the 9 August, please do so as soon as possible as Paul Litherland is an excellent presenter about online awareness and Cyber Safety. This event is free.

We have some fantas c community events coming up this term, such as the Rock and Pop Music Bingo, Infant Jesus Day, our Athle cs Carnival and Learning Journey’s. Please check the details for these as we would love to see everyone there.

We are Called Third World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly Last Sunday, 23 July, Pope Francis shared a message for the Third World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly.

The theme of ‘His mercy is from age to age’ (Lk 1:50) is shared when Mary visited her elder cousin Elizabeth and is also re ected each day as we listen to the Spirit and, through our words and ac ons con nue to bring joy to the hearts of the elderly and gain wisdom from their experiences.

This was highlighted today as we welcomed and celebrated the grandparents and elderly in our school community with a special assembly, visits to the classrooms, a prayer card and morning tea.

Feast of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop On 8 August we celebrate the life of Mary MacKillop, Australia’s rst saint.

Mary MacKillop was born in Melbourne in 1842. A er what was considered a challenging childhood, Mary was forced to leave home at the age of fourteen to work and provide money for her family.

By the me she was een, Mary had decided she was going to become a nun. She wanted to devote her life to God and to assist the poor. With Fr Julian Tension Woods she founded Australia’s rst order of nuns - the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart. Led by Mary MacKillop the nuns helped the poor through their teaching and schools and their care provided at orphans and refuges.

Mary MacKillop truly lived and passed on the Gospel values. Her love, faith, trust, commitment and enthusiasm live on in our lives today. She is a wonderful inspira on and model for all.

Today we can all follow Mary as we can also “Never see a need ... without trying to do something about it.”

Feast of St Dominic St Dominic founded the Dominican order many centuries ago. He was very faith- lled and engaging preacher and proclaimer who inspired many to join him in sharing Truth and the Good News through their work and prayer life.

The Dominican order, through the Dominican Sisters established Infant Jesus School in 1954.

Today the Dominican charism of Truth and the example of St Dominic inspires all in our school community, in Australia and around the world.

At Infant Jesus School Calaroga fac on is linked to St Dominic as this is his birthplace and it is from St Dominic that we inherited our school newsle er tle – VERITAS which means Truth.

Next week, we will celebrate the Feast of St Dominic on Thursday 3 August with a Whole School Mass at Infant Jesus Church commencing at 9.00am.

Pre-Primary to Year 6 children will be a ending and parents are also very welcome.

Year One

3D Shapes Everywhere!

Year One began the term by focusing on 3D shapes in Mathema cs. We explored the proper es of common 3D shapes and counted how many faces, edges and corners each has. Each day we worked on di erent ac vity rota ons to help us to understand these proper es be er.

There was a crea on sta on where we used play dough to sculpt each 3D shape, a quiz about the proper es of shapes and we even made our very own 3D shape using the shapes net. It was very tricky, but we tried our very best!

Our favourite task was a 3D ques on hunt around the classroom, where there were 24 ques ons hidden and we needed to gure out the answers using what our teachers had taught us. We found out the answers on Friday and it was awesome! Did you know that ‘ver ces’ and ‘corners’ mean the same thing? Stay tuned for some more fun learning!

Year Six

Caring for Our Common Home This week in Religion, students in Year Six have been looking at the earth and its resources and learning about ways we can help care for our common home.

The Year Six students have been inves ga ng companies that are making a posi ve impact in the sustainability sector.

Conduct Statement 9: You promote and preserve the trust and privilege inherent in your rela onship with all members of the school community.

Guidelines

Safe School Framework

1. You promote and preserve the trust inherent in your rela onship with students and with their parents.

2. You recognise that an inherent power imbalance exists within your rela onship with students that may make the students and their family vulnerable and open to exploita on. You ac vely preserve the dignity of all people through prac sed kindness and by recognising the poten al vulnerability and powerlessness of each student and their family. You recognise that the power rela vi es between you and a student can be signi cant, par cularly where the student is very young, has a disability, a di cult family background, has cultural di erences, or experiencing emo onal turmoil. This vulnerability creates a power di eren al in your rela onship with students that must be recognised and managed with care.

3. You take reasonable measures to establish a sense of trust to protect the physical, psychological, emo onal, social and cultural well-being of each student. You protect students who are vulnerable, including but not limited to students with disability, from exploita on and harm.

4. You have a responsibility to maintain appropriate boundaries with students and to ac vely support other adults to do likewise, including bringing to their a en on any failure to do so.

5. You may have personal or recrea onal rela onships outside your school role with students’ families and friends, or with school sta . You are aware that dual rela onships may compromise student care and well-being. In cases of overlap or con ict between your dual rela onships, you act with the primary intent of the safety and wellbeing of the student, which may require you to withdraw from a social rela onship.

6. You do not engage in any behaviour with a student that could be interpreted by a reasonable person as being a friendship.

7. You do not engage in any behaviour with a student that a reasonable person could interpret as crea ng an opportunity to engage in emo onal, physical or sexual in macy with a student.

8. You recognise that the power imbalance between you and students means that the onus is on you to avoid any ambiguity or misunderstanding by a student or third party about your intent in your behaviour towards them.

9. You understand that the power imbalance between you and students means a student is unable to give their consent to engaging in emo onal, physical or sexual in macy with you, regardless of the legal age of consent, or the student’s age or maturity. You must therefore not seek nor rely on such express or implied consent from a student to engage in an in mate rela onship.

10. You understand that the power imbalance between you and students may con nue to in uence students’ choices beyond the date when they cease to be students at your school. You must therefore not engage in emo onal, physical or sexual in macy with a former student within two years of them ceasing enrolment at your school, or them turning 21, whichever occurs latest.

11. You take all reasonable steps to ensure the safety and security of the possessions and property of students and their families that are in your care.

12. You do not knowingly mislead parents or make misrepresen ng statements to them, or withhold informa on relevant to their ability to make informed decisions about their children unless required by law.

13. You recognise that there may be rare excep ons to full disclosure to parents.

Such disclosure of informa on may compromise law enforcement or other risk management processes, or the privacy and reputa on of those involved. You seek legal or other expert advice in resolving such situa ons, recognising that parents have the right to know about any risk to their children.

Sta Example of Speci c Behaviours but not limited to: • Sta to be mindful of the extent of personal informa on that they share with parents and students.

• Recognise and accept di erences in background, disabili es, culture, etc.

• Keep rela onships with parents and students on a professional level. Sta to no fy Principal of any devia on from this.
