Term 2 Week 1 Whole School Update…


Welcome back to Term 2.  We hope everyone had a restful break and enjoyed the Anzac Day holiday too. 

This is a 9 week term.  School will break up on Friday 30 June followed by a 3 week holiday break.

 

“Dental for Schools” - at Immanuel School in Term 2 

·       This Thursday and Friday “Dental for Schools” will visit Immanuel and to hold an Oral Health Education workshop for every year level.  

·       Following this a Dentist from “Dental for Schools will come to consult Immanuel students in Term 2, Week 9 - Weds 28, Thurs 29 & Fri 30 June.    An information package will be sent home to parents at the end of this week and if you would like your child to be seen by the dentist, you can complete the consent form and return it to the school to book an appointment time.    

·       Immanuel is excited to offer this new facility for students and families.  

 

Food Collection Drive - Immanuel P&F and Lutheran Care

·         Today we launch a 3 week fundraising campaign called “Fill our Pantry” Food Drive supported by Lutheran Care. We invite  Immanuel families to donate food items (canned & packaged), laundry items and toiletry items, which will go to Lutheran Care who help support local families who are going through financial hardship.

·         This fundraiser also doubles up as a House Sporting Team event.   Families who wish to participate in this fundraiser are asked to label the items with their child’s house team name (eg- Trevu ‘T’ / Clonlea ‘C’/ Martindale ‘M’ / Para Para ‘P’).  These items will be collected in classrooms, and a visual display created for each House Sporting Team.  

·         On Monday 22 May at Assembly our School Captains will present all donations to Lutheran Care and the ‘Best Design’ award will be presented to the winning House Sporting Team.   

·         Thank you for your support

Electronic Sign In

Each person signing in and out your child will need their own pin code. These will be included in the letter. Please also check the names listed on your list to make sure we have the correct people. This is a good time to make changes with taking people off or adding others onto your child’s collection authority. We aim to have the electronic sign in ready in week 3.

·       The focus this term is: Relationships. We will discuss concepts such as exploring identify and relationships, power in relationships and trusted networks.

·       Content is drawn from the Keeping Safe Curriculum and the Bounce Back Program. For more information about the Keeping Safe Curriculum please. Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum information for parents and carers (education.sa.gov.au)
