MICHAEL YMER – MATHEMATICS EVENING
It was good to see many of you at the Mathematics Information Night with Michael Ymer. Thanks to those who booked on line or via the list at the office. It was a very interesting and informative evening for parents and we encourage you to join with us as we work to raise student achievement in Mathematics across the school.

CROSS COUNTRY
Congratulations to Nepean – Blue House for taking out overall points in the Cross Country day on Monday. All year levels managed to complete their races and there was a great spirit of encouragement and personal achievement as each student crossed the finish line. A team of sixty students, ten boys and ten girls from each year level 4,5 and 6 will go on to compete against other schools next Wednesday 23rd May at the District Competition at Truemans Road. We congratulate the students on their selection for the Fatima team and wish them well in the district event. Thanks to Jacinta McRae and Dan Koole for their organisation and to all staff assisting on the day.

PLAY SUMMIT
A group of Year Six students will travel to Melbourne this week on Thursday and Friday for the Play Summit. This is being hosted at the Melbourne Town Hall and concludes on Friday with a formal reception at Government House. The students attending will contribute to discussions which focus on the United Nations Declaration - 'Rights of the Child'. This is something we tend to take for granted in Australia, but there are still places in the world where the concept of 'play' for children is not known or not encouraged.

Play is an essential part of learning life skills such as risk assessment, interpersonal relationships, concepts about rules, inclusiveness, co-operation etc. The Play Pod in our school yard has been a great success, leading to more engaged play and creativity at lunch time breaks.

AEROBICS COMPETITON
This weekend we have a team of senior girls competing in the School
Aerobics National Championships in Geelong. It is the first time Fatima has entered the aerobics competition and the girls have been training very hard after school and on Saturdays with their teacher Rebecca Thomas. As a novice team they are sure to gain a lot from the experience and we wish them all the best for the event. Thanks
to Rebecca, the girls and their families for showing such great commitment.
