REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICES

NAIDOC WEEK In recognition of Naidoc Week last week, a number of activities were held

across the school. We were blessed to be visited by local indigenous man, Wyley

who visited each class and discussed his culture, demonstrated some traditional

dance and shared his love of the digeridoo.

Over the week, there were a number of in class activities conducted with some

of the work currently on display in the corridors, including a very impressive one

outside of the Year 5/6 class!

On Thursday, Mrs Lloyd and Mrs Mudge provided the students with the

opportunity to try some indigenous food which the kids really enjoyed and on

Friday in PE, Mr Braun taught the students some indigenous games such as

Marn-grook, Kai Wed, Nandrra-rna and Koolchee.

Waikerie Lutheran Primary School is a Christ-Centred community equipping each student for life.

Last Wednesday, 11th November, our Year 7 School Captains, Grace, Isabella, Natalie and Amali,

accompanied by Mr Borgas, travelled to the Memorial Park to represent our school at the official RSL

Remembrance Day Service. The student leaders represented us well, laying a wreath at the memorial as a

mark of respect and met with local Mayor, Mr Leon Stasinowsky at the conclusion of the official service.

Back at school, Year 7 students, Olivia, Emily, Marco, Hamish, Hugh and Ethan helped to run our Service of

Remembrance which included the lowering of the flags (thank you Hugh and Ethan), the reading of the Ode

(thank you Marco), the reading of In Flanders Fields (thank you Hamish, Olivia and Emily) as well as a minute

silence. The entire school did a fantastic job at observing the minute silence, with all of the students from Foun-

dation to Year 7 staying incredibly quiet (you could have almost heard a pin drop). Thank you to all of our Year

7 students who helped to commemorate this special day.

WALL OF REMEMBRANCE In the lead up to Remembrance Day, each student was provided with the opportunity to either add a poppy

or a hand with their name and the name/names of any family members who have served in a war to the Wall

of Remembrance in the office. Nearly every student contributed to the wall which is currently on display in the

front office.

Teaching children about our Learner Profiles provides them with the toolkit to successfully relate to others. To

celebrate the demonstration of these principles we would like to award the following students this week:

Year 7 Year 5/6 Year 3/4

Year 1/2 Foundation/Year 1

CORNER OF PEACE

God assures those of us who are His children that we need not fear. He is with us to strengthen, uphold and

help us. We know that He sent His Son so that through Him we can be saved from the fear and fate of eternal

death, rather inheriting eternal life. However those of us who are strong need to always remember that, in

turn, we are responsible to care for our neighbour, and also for those who are weak and vulnerable.

God bless you all this week, Moira

Health Advice With the current COVID-19 outbreak

in Adelaide and the restrictions that

are currently in place, we ask that if

your child is unwell that you keep

them home until they have fully

recovered and if you are feeling

unwell that you stay off the school

grounds until you are recovered.

As per the recommendations, we ask

that on-site visits to WLPS please be

kept to a minimum. If you need to see

a teacher, help your child etc, you

are more than welcome to still come

to school, we just ask that social

distancing and good hygiene

practices are adhered to. Also, it is

recommended that all unnecessary

travel be avoided to keep everyone

safe.

Swimming Program Cancelled Due to the new set of COVID-19

restrictions that were implemented

today, we are sad to say that our

swimming program for this year as

well as our annual Splash Carnival has

been cancelled until further notice.

Kiddy Gym Cancelled We are sad to announce that due to

the current restrictions, Kiddy Gym has

been cancelled. We would like to

thank everyone who has supported

Kiddy Gym and look forward to

starting again soon.

2021 staffing On the weekend, Mrs Burns and

Mr Borgas interviewed potential staff

for 2021. Next week we will be able to

tell you the results of that process, and

the new staff that will join us for 2021.

Year F/1 As families of new foundation students

found out last Friday at transition, Mrs

Kim Waterson will be teaching our

Foundation/Year 1 class in 2021 four

accepted the opportunity to gain

teaching skills that span the full

spectrum of year levels that we offer

at WLPS.

Hi everyone,

We have now started collecting non-perishable items at school again. If you

didn’t know already, each year the school collects non-perishable items to give

to Food Bank for those who need it most this Christmas. We have given the

challenge to each class to get 50 items per class so that’s 250 items in the

school. There will be a box in each classroom and in the hall for each class to

put there non perishable items in. Some great non-perishable items to bring in

are can of corn, lollies, pasta, chips, pretty much anything that has been sitting

in your cupboard forever.

Last Friday we were very lucky to have the kindy kids come for there first

transition. We welcome to the school Dennison, Jude, Evelyn, Makyla, and

Xavier. The kids were very fortunate to be able to have Miss Driver lead them

through a day at school.

This Wednesday the lovely most amazing, beautiful, talented Year 7’s have their

first full day transition at the Waikerie High School. We encourage you to have a

think about how it was for you when you graduated primary school and went

into high school, we highly recommend you have a conversation with your child

about this topic.

Have a great week, Amali, Grace, Isabella and Natalie
