Athletics Day Children and teachers headed off to Newport Athletics Track on Tuesday morning for the annual Wembley Ath-letics Carnival. Despite valiant at-tempts to complete the program on the day the weather was against us at the outset with the rain lightly fal-ling during the morning. The carnival was abandoned at midday and every-one returned to school a little damp, but in good spirits. Thanks are ex-pressed to Kelleigh Evans for her bril-liant organization of the athletic car-nival and the team of teachers who headed down to the track early in the morning to set up all of the events. Visiting pre-service teachers from Victoria University supported Wembley staff in supervising events on the day. Many parents, sporting umbrellas and rain jackets, were pre-sent to cheer on our athletes as they rotated through sprints, hurdles, long jump, discus and triple jump. The Athletics will be re-scheduled to Friday morning, once again pending suitable weather conditions. Notes advising the re-scheduling of the Ath-letics were sent home on Tuesday afternoon and parents are asked to sign, date and return to school be-fore Friday morning. Spectators are welcome to attend once again to support the students as they com-plete the program.

Year 6 Film Night The red carpet will be out on Thurs-day evening for the Year 6 film screening at the Sun Theatre. Due to the popularity of this event all tick-ets have been sold out well in ad-vance of the evening. The evening is

planned to begin at 5pm on Thursday 5 June.

Wembley Hollywood Trivia Night

Although all tables for this popular social function have been booked there are still a few places still avail-able for purchase. Thank you to all of the people who have generously re-sponded to the request for donations. Many wonderful sponsors have come forward to provide a range of valu-able goods and services for raffle and auction prizes.

Semester 1 Reports Teachers have been diligently writing individual student reports over the past few weeks and they are now in the final stages of editing and print-ing. Reports will be sent home in the final week of Term 2 and will form the basis of the parent-teacher inter-views in that week.

Parent-Teacher Interviews Parent Teacher Interviews will be held on Tuesday 24 June, between 1.00pm and 7.00pm for students in prep to year 2 and on Wednesday 25 June, 1.00pm-7.00pm for all students in Years 3-6. Interview times can be booked through the Interviews On Line program and the bookings will open on Wednesday 18 June at 9am. The event code will be notified in next week’s newsletter and further information will be given at assem-blies on Friday afternoon and Monday morning. Due to Melanie Barger and Brad Morin being on leave during the final week of term parent-teacher interviews for students in 6A and 4C will be held in the first week of Term

3. Parents will be able to book interviews with these teachers using the Interviews on Line sys-tem when the bookings open next week.

Leave I’ll be on leave for the last three weeks of Term. During my absence Annmaree Jones will be the Acting Principal supported by Taxia, Kevin and Angela. I trust that you will all sup-port Annmaree and the team to ensure that the school runs smoothly during this time. Melanie Barger, class teacher of 6A, will also be taking leave for the last three weeks of term and Jeanette Shine will take responsibility for 6A during this time. I wish Melanie all the very best for her leave and welcome Jeanette to the teaching team.

Remember when you believed in anything and everything?

Researchers from the University of Western Aus-tralia are investigating children’s ability to de-tect and avoid potentially harmful social interac-tions, such as being easily fooled or tricked into doing something. We are looking to see how this develops in children, and when children outgrow this vulnerability. We are looking for parents of Kindergarten – Year 6 children across Australia to complete an online survey (15 – 20 minutes). Participants will go into a draw to win one of 10 $50 gift certifi-cates to Coles/Myers. To participate go to:
