Waikerie Lutheran Primary School is a supportive Christ-centred community, equipping each student for life.
Message from the Principal Mid Murray Sports Day
Well done to students for their commitment and dedication,
particularly to practising the accuracy throw leading up to Mid
Murray Sports Day! Our school finished second behind Cadell in
the final standings which is the best result since I have been at the
school!
Mid-Murray Sports Day is a great day and an important part of our
extra-curricular activities. These community events are important for our
students to be a part of, as it is an introduction to positive socialisation
outside of our regular social networks. This is going to be a defining skill to
improving Waikerie’s future prospects, as a town of people that welcomes
newcomers and is open minded and appreciative of integrating oneself into
the wider community.
Well done to those teachers, parents and students who embrace the day for
this reason. I thought particularly this year that the community atmosphere
and spirit of the day amongst staff, students, parents and visitors was
exceptional.
Thank you!
Thank you to our volunteers for Mid Murray sports day, who manned the long
jump and sprints events. Thank you also to the students. You represented the
school well both as competitors and well-mannered students who supported
each other and also the students from the other schools!
Goodbye Balogun Family –we will miss you!
It is both with joy and sorrow that we wish Shina, Nike, Tara, Teni and Toni all
the best as they shift to Canberra. The Waikerie community will miss you.
Both Nike and Shina have a position at a hospital in Canberra, and they
have found a school for Tara and Teni to attend. We wish you God’s
blessings as you follow where He calls you!
Blessings on your week ahead and have a safe and happy holiday break.

School News
Cross Country Working Bee – Keep the date free
The Cross Country/Fun Run afternoon will be held next Term in week 8. We are
looking to roll out a pathway around the perimeter of the property to be officially
opened on the day of this event. We will be booking a working Bee with Rod Shugg
and his back-hoe on the 14th May. I know all Dads will have earned some ‘browny
points’ on the Mother’s Day weekend (the weekend before), and so will be free to
lend a hand.
Mr Borgas will be in touch to see if you can make it and to organise tools for the day!
Casual Day This Friday
On Friday there will be a plain clothes day to support Mel Paschke’s work through
Habitat for Humanity. Mel is an Electrician with Paschke Air Conditioning and is
lending her expertise to build houses in Vietnam for the local population.
Students are reminded to be Sunsmart with clothing choices and ensure
appropriate footwear to participate in fitness.
Closing Chapel
Closing Chapel will commence at 1.30pm this Friday - everyone is welcome to attend!
Our plan for Chapel is to finish the Term on a high, to ask God’s blessings on our travels
and pray that He will keep us safe during our activities over the holidays.
Opening Chapel
Opening Chapel for Term 2 will be held on Monday, 2nd May commencing at 8:50am
in the Hall. Please join us.

Student of the Week Awards
Teaching children about our Skills: Communication, Research, Social, Thinking and Self
Management skills provides them with the tool kit for successfully relating with others. As a
way of celebrating the demonstration of these skills by students, staff have elected these
students this week.
Year 6/7 Class (Mrs Waterson)
Self Management Skills - Kirk Cameron. I have been impressed with Kirk’s increased effort
towards completing his homework. Keep it up as we enter Term 2!
Social Skills - Jesse Thiele. I was impressed with Jesse's attitude and enthusiasm at Mid
Murray Sports Day. Well done Jesse for being a great sportsman!
Year 4/5 (Mrs Burns)
Communication Skills - Taylah Gore. Taylah has worked hard to challenge her persuasive
writing skills. She has extended her use of tone through the use of emotional connections,
logic and sympathy. Keep working hard Taylah!!
Communication Skills - Charlize Sherriff. I have enjoyed seeing Charlize grow and develop
her enthusiasm for writing this term. She has tried hard to challenge herself, stretch out her
sentences and add in further description through the use of adjectives. Keep up the hard
work!
Year 3/4 (Mr Fladrich)
Thinking Skills - Brodie Baring. Brodie challenged himself and extended his thinking when
using chunking for addition during Maths last week. Well done Brodie!
Self Management Skills - Derlerean Bell. Derlerean has worked hard to consistently be
organised for each lesson and complete tasks on time! Well done Derlerean!
Year 1/2 (Mrs Sherriff)
Thinking Skills - Hannah Carter. Hannah has been eager to accept challenges in Maths, to
stretch and grow her brain. She has been working on applying chunking to solve 2-digit
addition problems. Great Growth Mindset Hannah!
Communication Skills - Monique Weir. Monique has been working well in SSP, investigating
the sound clouds and developing her confidence to apply this knowledge to her spelling
choices. Keep up the great work Monique.
Foundation/Year 1 (Mrs Beelitz)
Research Skills - Evie Mathews. Evie has applied her knowledge
and used it to formulate questions to express her wonderings.
She has also recorded and organised her thoughts clearly and
neatly to convey a positive message of encouragement to
others!
Self Management Skills - Sarah Kroehn. Sarah has shown that
she can organise herself for learning quickly, having all that she
requires at her fingertips and her ‘listening ears’ on. Keep it up
Sarah!
