REFLECTION

Dear God

Thank you for giving us such good gifts. For our families who love us. For yummy food and tasty drink. For so many different beautiful animals. For parks with tall trees and soft grass. For birds that fly among the clouds. For seas and streams that are fun to paddle in. And thank you for your son Jesus. We like to read about him in the bible. He taught his disciples about you. He healed people who were sick. He walked on water, And even died and came back to life. Help us to remember all the things he did And celebrate him on Easter Sunday.

Amen.

PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Hello to the families of All Saints’ Community, The end of the Term has all but arrived, only one day to go. The Term is ending the way it began, with rain falling from the sky. I hope and pray that everyone has a restful, peaceful and safe Easter break. Especially for those who will be travelling – take care! School Swimming Carnival: Thursday April 2 At this stage NO decision has been made regarding the School Swimming Carnival which is scheduled for tomorrow. If the event is to be cancelled there are 2 ways in which we send out the message: 1) via a school SMS message that will be send to mobile numbers and 2) the new school electronic sign positioned at the front of the school. Students may wear a collared shirt matching their sports house team or they may wear their school sports uniform. It is anticipated that the first race will begin at 9:40am and that we will be back at school for trophy presentation at a school assembly by 2:30pm. Go Blue for Autism – fundraising event: Thank you to everyone who ‘dressed’ for the part and supported our endeavours to raise money for Autism

Queensland. Below are some of the outfits that greeted us today:

Easter Reflection: Thank you to Year 5 for leading the school in our Easter Reflection. As a Catholic Christian School, this is a very important part of our school life – taking the time to reflect together on the message, life and example that Jesus shared with his community. Jesus’ message has been handed on to us today in so many different ways. Car Parking: Please be aware that the 2 minute parking at the front to the school is only for 2 minutes. No parent/guardian should be parking their car in this spot and then walking into the school to collect their child(ren). Parking longer than 2 minutes can be an inconvenience to others. Links with the Parish While the Easter long weekend break is a wonderful time to stop, pause and catch-up with family, it is also an opportunity to make time to spend with God. One of the ways in which this can take place is by attending the many celebrations that happen in Church over the Easter weekend. Below are the times for the Catholic Church Easter celebrations: Easter Liturgy Times:

Thursday April 2: Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper – 7:00pm, Boonah

Good Friday April 3: Stations of the Cross – 10:00am, Peak Crossing

Good Friday April 3: Celebration of the Passion of the Lord – 3:00pm, Boonah

Saturday April 4: Easter Vigil – 7:00pm, Boonah

Sunday April 5: Easter Sunday – 7:30am, Harrisville, 9:30am, Boonah

Happy Easter The P&F would like to wish all our families a safe and happy Easter and school holidays. We hope you get time to recharge the batteries and enjoy time with family and friends. If you are travelling, stay safe. The first school term has flown by and we suspect Term 2 will be the same. Coming up in Term 2 for the P&F we have the Mothers’ Day stall, our first working bee and a potential movie night. Stay tuned for more information on these. Our next meeting will be the first week back on the 22nd April at 7pm in the school library. All are welcome. Some of the items discussed at our last meeting were:

Mothers’ Day stall – coordination and volunteers.

Working Bee – date set for 2nd May, stay tuned for details of the help needed.

Boonah Show Gates – this year we will offer this as a fundraising opportunity for parents of students in Years 4 and 5 to bring down the cost of the Canberra trip in 2016.

If you have any P&F matters you would like to discuss, please do not hesitate to send Andrew Conway an email. Thank you. Andrew Conway P&F President qrconway@hotmail.com

123 Magic and Emotion

Coaching Program©

at All Saints’

Learn how to manage your child’s challenging

behaviours

Almost all children will behave in ways that challenge

their parents at some time. This could be for a range

of reasons but all children benefit from clear, calm

and consistent behaviour support from parents. That

can be difficult sometimes as they do push our

buttons, don’t they? But this is made easier by sorting

behaviour into types and knowing what strategies to

use with each type of behaviour, even when we are in

the heat of the moment.

If you would like to learn how to do this, come and be

part of the 123 Magic© and Emotion Coaching

program I am running next term. This program shows

parents how to combine positive praise or rewards,

with signalling, age appropriate consequences and

emotion coaching, all of which help children to learn

to regulate their own behaviour reducing the need for

you to intervene as often in the future. 123 Magic©

has been praised by parents for its simplicity but

effectiveness. SAVE THESE DATES !

The program will run for 1 ½ hours on Wednesday

afternoons in Week 3, 4 and 5 in Term 2 (that’s the

6th, 13th and 20th May). It will be after school – time

to be confirmed. The cost will be $10 to cover the

cost of the take-home workbook (1 book per couple –

it would be great if both parents can attend!). If you

would like more information contact me at the school

on Wednesdays or ask at the school office.

Guidance Counsellor
