Vision Statement:
Good Shepherd Catholic School is an inclusive community growing together in faith by living our Catholic values
and beliefs. We are guided by the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ, in partnership with parents, caregivers, parish
and the wider community. Our school is dedicated to fostering life-long learning through educational excellence
encapsulating the spiritual, cognitive, emotional, social and physical development of the child.
Principal’s Message
Dear Parents, Staff and Students,
Lord God of forgiveness, we ask that you bless each of us as we come to celebrate the
new hope you offer through the Sacrament of Penance.
In your mercy and love, heal us and bring us to fullness of life in you.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
Colossian 3:12-15
A reading form the letter of St Paul to the Colossians
Brother and Sisters; God loves you and has chosen you as God’s own special people. So
be gentle, kind, humble, meek and patient. Put up with each other, and forgive anyone
who does you wrong, just as Christ has forgiven you. Love is more important than
anything else. It is what ties everything together. Each one of you is part of the Body
of Christ, and you were chosen to live together in peace. So let the peace that comes
from Christ control your thoughts and be grateful.
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God
Congratulations to the following Year 3 Students who received the Sacrament of
Penance as their first Reconciliation into our Lord Jesus Christ on Tuesday evening this
week. It was a beautiful and reverent occasion and many thanks to Fr Al and the seven
other Parish Priests who assisted in the Ceremony. Thanks also to all our Parents who
have been so supportive and to our wonderful staff in particular Miss Chalk, Mrs
Atkinson and Mrs Butler.

Staff Update
We would like to congratulate Mrs Romina Chapman on her appointment to the
role as Assistant Principal for 2016 while Mrs Renae Butler is on Maternity Leave.
After School Activities
A reminder to parents and students regarding after school activities. If your child
is participating in an after school activity (for example basketball, running club
etc) and a sibling is not, they are to remain in the drop off / pick up area unless
they are being supervised by a guardian. Coaches and teachers cannot take
responsibility for the students other than those they are training.

World Youth Day – Fundraising
World Youth Day Fundraising - for the Good Shepherd Parish. A number of exstudents of Good Shepherd and siblings of current students, along with Miss Tarca
will be attending the World Youth Day to be held in Poland in 2016. Fundraising
has begun to help our youth travel to Poland for the experience of a Religious
Pilgrimage lead by Pope Francis. The first of the fundraising begins with bags of
manure for sale for our school and parish community.
Manure for Sale!
Spring is approaching and your gardens need to be
fertilised!! Come and get some quality sheep manure from
the Parish Youth Group. We are selling 40L bags for $12....That's right $12.
Simply place your order at the school reception. Please note only exact cash will
be accepted.
You will be given a receipt to take over to
Father Al to pick up your order.
Thank you, Miss Tarca
Take Home Readers
We are running low on take-home reading books for our students.
We are asking all families to please search at home to ensure all
reading books are brought back to school to enable the children to
consistently change and update their books.

Helping Fathers become better dads
Helping Dad Around the House: Your Weekly Fathering Tip
If you have chores to do around the house such as gardening, cleaning, or maintenance,
invite and encourage your kids to help but don’t force them into it as this could put
them off. Give them fun jobs to do, suitable to their ages and abilities. Don’t use the
children as your slave labour – work alongside them. Invent games or competitions to
get them involved and get the jobs done more quickly. Thoughts? Comment below to
share your thoughts and ideas. We love to hear from you too! The Fathering Project
Team Continue Reading
Remove Distractions: Your Weekly Fathering Tip
Driving the kids to school or picking them up in the afternoon can be a great time to
talk together but having schoolbags, etc in the car can mean that your children are
easily distracted by phones, computers and the like. So when the children get in the
car, make it a rule that all schoolbags, phones and other “distractors” must go in the
car’s boot for the journey’s duration. It may take a few days to enforce this habit and
for the children to get used to it but persevere and they will soon start talking! Make
sure you are not similarly distracted – turn the radio and your phone off (not just on
silent). Thoughts? Comment below to share your thoughts and ideas. We love to hear
from you too! The Fathering Project Team Continue Reading
Stimulating your child's curiosity
 Help them think 'out of the box' to make school projects more creative and
interesting
 Don't over-organise their lives
 Encourage imagination
 Restrict television - it limits development of imagination, but encourage reading,
eg 'FART time' = 'Family Altogether Reading Time'
Thoughts?
Join the discussion on the website.
We love to hear from you too!

Social Worker
National Child Protection Week is from the 6th to the 12th of September. It is one week
of the year when workplaces, family and community are encouraged to promote the
safety and wellbeing of children and young people. Most adults are aware that
physical and sexual abuse harms children. Less attention is given in the media to
emotional and psychological abuse and neglect as other forms of harm. I have worked
with many parents over the years. I remember one father taking great pride in the fact
that he had never lifted a finger to his children. However he used shame, humiliation,
guilt and belittlement in a potent combination with anger to reduce his children’s selfesteem to shreds. The adage ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will
never hurt me’ simply isn’t true. The trauma associated with psychological abuse can
be just as long-lasting as physical abuse. Children can be disciplined more effectively
by coolly helping them to see the effect of their behaviour and imposing consequences.
They learn their lesson but come out of it with their self-esteem intact.
If you would like to discover ways in which you can play your part in providing a
loving and supportive environment for your children please go to
http://napcan.org.au/resource-hub/what-role-can-i-play/ and click on ‘Parent’.
Cool Little Kids
“Cool Little Kids’ is a free online program. It’s for Australian parents of shy or anxious
young children aged 3 to 6 years.

As you know, our school has been participating in the Woolworths Earn & Learn
program. The program has now finished for this year, so a big thanks to everyone who
supported our school. We're now at the important stage of the program where the
Sticker Sheets are collected and lodged as our Earn & Learn claim. We will then be able
to get new educational equipment for our school. The more we collect, the more we
can redeem. So this week, please send in your Woolworths Earn & Learn Sticker Sheets
and any loose Earn & Learn stickers you may have. Remember to check your handbag,
the car glove box or they may be stuck on the fridge. Every little bit helps. Thanks

ECE Parents
Thank you to all our Fathers who attended our Father’s Day breakfast last Friday the
4th of September. It was wonderful to see so many Fathers and their children and we
hope you all enjoyed it. Thank you also to Mr Bentley and Mr Di Carlo for cooking the
sausages and staff that came to offer their assistance and support.
Here are some photos of the morning. More photos will be displayed in the classrooms.

Kindy
This will be the last Kindy newsletter for Term 3 as I will be on leave until Term 4. The
children have had a wonderful term and worked very hard, we have seen some great
progress. In Week 9 they will be looking at the letter Uu and painting a picture of their
favourite farm animal. They will also be counting on the ipads as well as with counters.
In Religion they will review sun safety at the beach and discussing appropriate use of
the turtle in PATHS. It is important that children know when it is appropriate to do the
turtle. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and I look forward to seeing everyone
bright and refreshed in Term 4.
Pre Primary
What a fabulous morning was had by all the fathers and the children last Friday at the
Father’s Day Breakfast. A big thank you to all Mr Di Carlo and Mr Bentley for cooking
the sausages. More photos can be viewed in the PP classes. The Pre-Primary children
thoroughly enjoyed participating in activities delivered by the Year 3-6 classes for the
Health & PE day on Wednesday. As the term nears to an end, we look at our last
traditional fairy tale ‘Cinderella’. The children will be writing invitations for our Fairy
Ball, completing acrostic poems and spelling sight words correctly in dictation
sentences. In Maths we will complete subtraction sums, revise counting by 2s, 5s and
10s and place value. In Religion we continue with the unit ‘My Family’. We will discuss
family life and different roles of the family, naming ways family members show love
and care for them.
Reminders:
Wednesday 16th September is our school Athletics carnival all students will be
participating. They will be required to wear blue shorts with their faction shirt on the
day.
Thursday 24th September (last day of term) we will be holding our very own ‘Fairy
Tale Ball’. All pre-primary children are encouraged to come dressed as a Fairy Tale
Character (not a superhero) and we will be having a shared lunch. All boys are asked
to provide a sweet dish and girls a savoury dish.
We would appreciate donations of old / recycled aluminium pots, pot lids, chimes, dish
racks etc to add to our outdoor music wall. Have a great week.
Year 1
We had a fantastic time on our excursion!! Next week in Literacy we will be completing
a reading comprehension activity and a dictation activity. In Maths we will continue to
learn about patterns and the students will be making their own patterns using
pictures, numbers and shapes. In Science we will continue learning about sounds and
we will be making a simple hearing aid. We are really excited about our sports carnival
and the students can’t wait to show you all the games they have learnt to play. Have a
great week!!

This week in mathematics the Year 2 students will be completing a range of different
word problems as well as tackling various mathematical problems in their daily
mental maths. Students will continue to revisit their addition and subtraction skills in a
mixed problem worksheet, regrouping when needed. In Literacy students will use
their comprehension skills to complete a cloze activity as well as different guided
reading tasks and questions. A reminder that this Wednesday is our faction sports
carnival and students need to wear their faction shirts. The day will commence for the
Year 2 students at 8:50am, and we hope to see you there. Have a fantastic week!
Year 3
This week the Year Three’s received the sacrament of Reconciliation. We would like to
congratulate the students on their dedication to understanding the sacrament and
their behaviour on Tuesday night. We could not have been prouder of the way they
conducted themselves.
As we have now finished the book Charlotte’s Web we will be watching the movie next
week to allow us to make comparisons between the book and the movie.
Well done to 3B on their fabulous assembly today and we look forward to 3W’s Mass
next Friday.
Year 4
In Year 4 this week we have been very busy finishing and typing up our narratives. In
Maths, we have been learning how to place fractions on number lines and have started
looking at place value and decimals. Just a reminder that we have our Field Events on
Tuesday and the Athletics carnival on Wednesday. Please make sure you wear your
faction tops on both these days and don't forget to bring plenty of water and your hat.
Please keep up with your reading each night and don't forget to practice your times
tables! Have a lovely weekend :)

Year 6
Week 8 was a busy week in year 6! The 6’s presented their Hero Speeches. It isn’t easy
to get up in front of a large group and complete a speech – but they all did a fabulous
job. We are also reading the last few chapters of Bridge to Terabithia and completing
the final work relating to the story. In Maths, we are finalising our unit of work on
Measurement and Geometry and preparing ourselves to learn about Statistics and
Probability next term. In Technology and Enterprise the children have started
designing and creating a Bridge that is approximately 20cm in length and can hold a
set weight without collapsing. This task involves problem solving and creativity – it is
great to watch the children in action! Have a relaxing and safe weekend.
Year 6 – Movie Permission Form
Dear Parents,
This term during English we have been reading 'Bridge to Terabithia' by Katherine

Please sign the permission slip below and return it to allow your child to watch the
film. If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to see the classroom teacher.
