Dear Parents
As part of the sharing of Senior Primary student
responsibilities and enrichment experiences, four of our
Year 6 students were selected to represent St John’s in
an event run by the Art Gallery on Friday called The
WA Art and Philosophy Day. Our students joined with
around 36 other Year 6
students to acquire the skill of
analysing art work and they all
thoroughly
enjoyed
the
experience. We thank Dana
Langridge,
Kyle
Blake,
Samuel Hunt and Emily Lim
for their enthusiastic, whole
hearted involvement on the day
and congratulate them on their
team’s feedback information
during the final session.
Please note that in addition to needing Banking
Coordinators volunteers for
next year we also require
parent volunteers to take over
the helm for Term 3 this year
as our current Coordinators
will all unfortunately be otherwise engaged.

Loving God,
In our roles as parents and educators,
may we model respect for individuality
and differences.
As we grow in harmony
with You and Your creation
may we love the world we see, Dear Lord,
and the children within our lives.
A child is like a butterfly in the wind,
Some can fly higher than others;
But each one flies the best it can,
Why compare one against the other?
Each one is different!
Each one is special!
Each one is beautiful!
Amen
I will take this opportunity to remind you that the last
day of Term 2 is a Pupil Free day. Among other
pertinent educational sessions staff will also be involved
in a further two hour training session on Evacuation
Drills which will then translate back to the student body

navy blue tights for the choir's performance at the
festival. They are available at the uniform shop.
Virtues - Year 6
The Year Six students have been writing raps for virtues in
their Religion Education lessons of late. Here are a few of
them.
Fortitude
Fortitude, my favourite virtue,
Trying to overcome the difficulties that you do
Doing what is right for everyone and you,
Also trying again if you fail too.
If you need to overcome habits like lying,
Fortitude is sure to help you
But if you fail you always must keep trying
Always get the best out of you.
The virtue of fortitude, such a beautiful thing!
It makes people want to cry out and sing:
“It’s time to change our life and everything
And achieve the virtue of fortitude to do good things!”
By Dana Langridge
Prudence
Prudence is one where all students,
Should try it out, don’t you think?
Thinking before acting is an important thing,
Making all the other people sing,
With gratitude and intelligence, don’t even pout,
This is Emily rapping, Peace out!
By Emily Lim.
Fortitude
This is a song about fortitude,
But it’s nothing to do with longitude.
Gossiping and lying are bad habits,
And with bad habits come rabbits.
Try after you fail,
Otherwise you might end up in gaol.
So this was the song about fortitude,
But it’s nothing to do with longitude.
By Andrew Welsh
Art News
A huge congratulations to the very talented Eva Willcock!
Her artwork of a rooster, inspired by Picasso, has been
selected to be exhibited as part of the Shaun Tan art
competition.
The expert panel of judges selected the top ten works in each
category to be part of the award exhibition and Eva was
chosen from the middle primary division. The piece will be
on display at Subiaco Library from 18 July to 14 August and
is open to the public. A great opportunity to view some
amazing artworks and the finalists pieces.
Well done to the rest of the students who submitted a piece to
the competition.
