Dear Parents

Congratulations to our whole school community on their involvement for the P&C Lapathon

fundraiser. Despite the rain setting in our students gave it their all and many achieved the designated 10 laps. I know Mrs Williamson is very excited at the prospect of getting the new

faction shades for the athletics carnival next term. Thank you to the P & C for their help.

Yesterday, Principals and teacher representatives from across the region attended a workshop on

Keeping Our Workplace Safe. This was delivered by the Department of Education and the State Teachers Union. Over the next few months I will be working with the staff to develop strategies

to prevent and minimise the possibility of incidents in our school. We want to reinforce our commitment to build a culture of high student behaviour expectations to develop an environment

of “High performance – High Care” - a mandate of the department’s strategic plan. In addition I will be working with the School Board to develop guidelines for a Parent Code of conduct in line

with the current Code of Conduct for Staff. The outcome of this work will be to create an inclusive environment that respects the diversity of our students, families and the community.

The final two weeks of term have Friday assemblies with the Choir/Dance students performing next week and the final Friday will be the school NAIDOC assembly by Room 14. We are looking

forward to both of these performances.

Last week we farewelled our Chaplain Gerda Baalmann. I would like to acknowledge Gerda’s

contribution to the Leda Primary School community and wish her all the best for her future endeavours. While we are very sad to see her leave we are very excited to welcome our new

School Chaplain Michelle Grobbelaar who has already provided us with outstanding support. Mrs Knight - Principal

The Year 6’s of Room 25 held a LEDA Survivor assembly performance on Friday, 25th May. The students were divided into the Artists and the Athletes tribes and the teachers were the Educators tribe. Mr Scott represented the Educators tribe for the puzzle challenge but unfortunately, failed to impress with the Artists tribe winning. Miss Kirby did better in the building challenge but again Artists tribe prevailed. Finally, Miss Wells (a visiting practicum student from Notre Dame) tried her best at the eating challenge but could not eat the slimy worm spaghetti quick enough and once again, Artists tribe won. At the Tribal Council, the tribes spoke and Miss Wells had to leave the game. Tyler did an awesome job as our host and everyone was entertained at the antics.

On Friday 8th June Mrs Beauchamp, Mrs Castelanelli and Ms Maguire's combined classes (Rm 9 and 10) sang a

medley of songs focused on Harmony Day celebrated earlier this term. The songs were in various languages of

countries from which some of our students have come

from. Harmony Day is a celebra*on of our cultural

diversity building respect and inclusivity. The students

all wore white shirts with orange hand prints

symbolising friendship which Ms Hornby completed for

both classes. At the conclusion, Isabel from Rm 11

reminded the audience, diversity is not about how we

differ but how we can embrace everyone’s uniqueness.

Well done to everyone’s efforts!

The aim of this workshop was to begin preparing for information sessions that they will be running through-out the school later this term. The Leda Eco-Action Team were lucky enough to have a visit from the EELS (Emmanuel Environmental Leadership Squad) from Emmanuel Catholic College. The EELS assisted the Eco-Action Team by sharing their expertise in the area of Litter and Waste and presenting to audiences. It was a fantastic afternoon and the Teams are hoping to collaborate more in the future!
