Dear Parents and Community

I trust you all had an enjoyable five day

weekend and the Easter Bunny found his

way into your homes.

ILN LEADERSHIP DAY

In Week 8, Aiden Georgy and Lachlan

McCuish travelled to Dowerin to

participate in the ILN Leadership Day.

Both students spoke very highly of the

day and noted that the keynote speaker,

Mayor Rhys Williams, was a highlight

along with interacting with students from

other ILN schools to participate in

teambuilding activities conducted by

Adventureworks. Thank you very much

to Dowerin DHS for organising to the

day and to all of the sponsors.

HAT DONATIONS

Thank you very much to Paul and

Jocelyn Seymour for their kind donation

toward our new hats. We received very

generous donations from a number of

community members and businesses, and

are looking forward to receiving our hats

next term.

DENIM FOR DEAFNESS

Don’t forget that this Friday, the Student

Leaders are hosting a ‘Denim for

Deafness Day’. You are invited to wear

denim and bring a gold coin donation to

help raise funds for childhood deafness.

ANZAC CEREMONY

All parents and community members are

invited to attend our ANZAC Ceremony

being held Friday 13 April at 8:50am.

Each year, our two classes make

beautiful wreaths for our service. If you

have any flowers or greenery in your

garden we could utilise, please drop them

at school on Thursday the 12th.

TERM 2

On Monday 30 April, Miling PS staff

will be attending a Staff Development

Day in Wongan Hills with colleagues

within the ILN. Students return to school

on Tuesday 1 May.

Kind regards

He consistently displays the Miling Primary School values of kindness and cooperation, always ensuring that everyone is included and getting along. Keep up the great work, Ashley.

Our BUZ programs are certainly at full throttle, charging towards the end of term.

In BUZ Friends we’ve been learning about dealing with anger and conflicts. The BUZ Hopscotch method of conflict resolution is one of my favourite parts of the program; it makes restorative justice simple for kids.

In BUZ Power we’ve also been discussing how to deal with anger. A major theme for both groups has been that anger naturally passes with time and that once we’re calm we should deal with the problem that caused the anger. However, sometimes we choose to hold onto anger to try to get our way. Often, when we do this, we mostly just hurt ourselves. Communication and working together have also been recent themes in BUZ Power.

There’s so much good stuff to cover in the program!

DENIM FOR DEAFNESS On Friday April 6 (Week 10), the Student Leaders will be running a ‘Denim for

Deafness Day’. ‘Denim for Deafness Day’ is where we will be raising money for

children with Cytomegalovirus (CMV) which causes

children to be born with hearing loss.

There are many children born in Australia with hearing loss due to CMV,

therefore we would like to invite your children to be a part of reducing

hearing loss in babies. On this day, students can wear denim and are asked

to bring in a gold coin donation. If you have any questions, speak to one of

the Year 6 Student Leaders. Your Student Leaders
