Health Education

As a portion of our Health Education, the students from K-6 will be participating in a Fire Education program. Our students will learn about Fire Safety and the effects of being aware of personal safety, safety in the home, staying safe while learning and playing at school, and the role of safety service. Through practical application, students will develop help-seeking skills and adopt strategies that help to keep themselves and others healthy, safe, and active. They will explore health and safety messages and describe how they relate to decision-making and health-related behaviours.
We are working closely with our local Fire services personnel and our learning experiences will involve the Fire engines visiting St Bede’s as well as a visit to our local Fire Station. Our Fire Station Visit is scheduled for Tuesday, 13th June. All classes will visit on a rotational basis on this day.

Library news

I have just ordered the latest shortlisted books from the Children’s Book Council of Australia Awards for 2023. The winners will be announced on 18th August, 2023. This coincides with Children’s Book week which runs from 19-25 August, 2023.
I would appreciate any parents how could find a small amount of time to cover some of these books, before they go into circulation. Any parents who could help in this regard, the contact will be supplied. Please contact Ann Monkhouse at school 48422413 on a Monday or a Tuesday.

Yours in reading
