SPORT
PE with Mr Red
We have begun long jump training and refocussed on our running skills. Watch out parents, we have also worked hard on our ball games prowess – we are looking good 😊.
A reminder to all that before school athletics training happens on Mondays and Wednesdays at 8am. All students are able to join in and practise. We will culminate these activities with our athletics carnival in week 9 at St Francis. Thursday 15 June will see us compete in the 800/200 metre events and on Friday 16 June will we compete with St Patrick’s, Allora in a combined school carnival at St Francis.
Training has continued for the Gala Day competitions for Soccer, Netball and Rugby League.
Yours in sport,

Prep/Year 1/Year 2
This fortnight, students have been learning to follow, read and write a procedure. With enthusiasm, the students followed a step-by-step procedure on, How to draw a Mister Maker Pasta Character. Together, we recalled the steps involved to create a poster to place on our ‘walls that teach.’ We discussed the importance of having a verb (doing word) at the beginning of each step. How amazing do these Pasta Characters look?
In shared reading, we read the book, The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires. In this story, students identified that the little girl was feeling frustrated and angry, and this impacted on the little girl’s ability to think and make her magnificent thing. Students learnt that having strategies such as deep breathing, asking for help, and taking a break can help when feeling angry or frustrated. Students talked about the importance of being persistent and never giving up! As a response activity to the book, students successfully went about creating their own most magnificent thing, putting in place what they learnt from the little girl in the book.

Year 5/6 News
Year 4/5/6
Last week in year 4/5/6, the paper making experiment was re-conducted with better results.
In HASS we are continuing to learn about Australian Parliament and Democracy. In Religion we are working towards creating our face of Jesus collage and our personal journey with Jesus and to scripture. Visual Arts has commenced, and we have begun our research about the street artist Bansky.
The class novel Mrs Busiko has been waiting for, has arrived. The novel is Help Around the House by Morris Gleitzman and we started our unit Tuesday.
Andrea
YEAR 3/4
Year 3/4
Last week we completed our term two reading assessments. We are always excited to see the growth and development in students reading. We look for reading behaviours- decoding tricky words, attending to fluency and attending to punctuation. We then look for students' comprehension of the text both literal and inferential. The reading assessments help to inform the next teaching and learning cycle of what we need to concentrate on in shared and guided reading.
Stamina reading or reading independently is crucial at this age. Students should be able to comfortably read for 15 minutes uninterrupted. An appropriate text should not be too challenging but not too easy. We use the five-finger rule. Pick up any book and read a random page. If you get 5 or more errors the text is too tricky. If you read with no errors the text is too hard.
Thank you for supporting reading at home. This helps to develop confidence in your child's learning. Reading is the basis of all subject areas and we are building life long, capable and creative learners.
During Religion we have been studying the Parable of the Lost Son. Most students have made connections of times they have turned away from God and sinned and asked for forgiveness. We also can relate to the older brother who found it difficult to forgive his brother at first. As people of God, we work towards unconditional love, forgiveness and obeying our Mother and Father. We know we are imperfect and have the self-awareness to say sorry when we know we have wronged a friend or family member. We always remember the power of God's love shown to us by our parents.
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGES
WAY TO GO ST FRANCIS…
I really do need to give our St Francis kids a big rap. Throughout this year and especially this week, I have observed some extra-ordinary behaviour from students across all the grades. Especially when you consider last week and the unsavoury weather, also with the principal being away, children can tend to test the boundaries a little more frequently than normal. Our students are certainly setting the tone for the school and our future students.
I am always somewhat hesitant in delivering too much praise for great behaviour, reasons being that we should always expect high standards of respectful behaviour at all times. In other words, it shouldn’t be something that kids do just to get rewarded. Not only should students know what is expected but more importantly understand the benefits of contributing and belonging to a positive school culture. The other reason is that I’m conscious of Murphy’s Law!!
We are highly aware of the insidious nature of bullying and recent nationwide initiatives to rid this cowardly behaviour which are well worth government funding. I’m pretty sure that there wouldn’t be anyone who disagrees with me – especially those among us who have been on the receiving end over the years. Throughout each term, the staff and I spend time talking to students about the issue.. So, here at St Francis, we take this issue very seriously. “Is there bullying at this school?” is a common question raised at enrolment interviews. I can’t promise any parent that there won’t be a case of bullying here at St Francis, but what I can promise is that we will never ignore bullying that is reported to us and that as a strong and supportive community we will do all we can to ensure that every student at the school will feel safe.
“Positive Behaviour” and “No Bullying” policies exist and are regularly reviewed. Like all behaviours, I believe they should all be dealt with on an individual basis. From my experience here we have not experienced any severe cases of bullying. More commonly we experience name-calling and teasing that can escalate as parties attempt to have the last word in an argument. Rumours and gossip at times have caused hurt, and this is just not the domain of students. Adults too have been guilty of not checking out the facts. People, young or old, love a story. Whether or not the facts are true often does not matter as much as sharing the story with whoever will listen. This can and does cause people great harm. All of us have a responsibility not to participate in tearing down someone else’s reputation.
Bullying can be insidious and is always destructive. Too often it goes unreported. Far too often, teachers only hear of it after a long period of time has passed and as a result, it is very difficult to resolve the issue. The vast majority of disagreements, perceived relationship issues etc. can be resolved fairly simply if those who can make a difference are informed. It is always better to deal with issues before they go too far. Please encourage your children not to be reluctant to share their concerns.
As I mentioned in newsletter articles, we urge students in the first instance to be resilient. That is, some stuff you just learn to put up with – life and people are not always fair, if however, a pattern develops, and the next skill they need is to be assertive. To learn to say, calmly and directly, “Stop I don’t like that, give it a break!” If then, the perpetrators continue, the inappropriate behaviour needs to be reported.
Everyone needs to expect respect. This is a core element of our beliefs here at St Francis and is central to our school culture. All of us have a part to play, especially those who witness people being treated unjustly. Everyday we say… “try and be the best version of yourself everyday and think of those people who are less fortunate than us.” This will lead to encouraging kids to be courageous and call out inappropriate or poor behaviour, especially behaviours that are directed at those who can’t stand up for themselves.
Walking Advertisements
As a school, we do what we can in getting the ‘good word’ out about what we do from day to day. Social media platforms, local publications and signage are some of the ways that we try to achieve this. Yet remarkably, for all the resources invested in this worthwhile endeavour, this type of advertising is not the most effective.
When interviews are conducted, we ask our families how they came to hear about us. 95% of the time they tell us it’s you—our parents. Their reasoning for choosing St Francis de Sales School is mostly to do with the fact that they have spoken to a member of our community that has told them about their good experiences. You play the main part in building good experiences with your school.
Thank you for:
→ Seeing us when you’ve got a concern— Good experiences aren’t always about the ’warm and fuzzies’. Good experiences can be about how the school responded to a concern of yours regarding your child’s progress.
→ Being engaged in your child’s learning— When you involve yourself by simply asking; “How is my child going?”; you help create relationships that ensure the progress of your child;
→ Supporting a ‘solutions focused’ way of thinking— any problem involves all parties working together towards a solution. When we support each other, great things can be achieved for your children.
As a part of our community, you are a ‘walking advertisement’. On behalf of our school community, I thank you for your ongoing support of your children and, in turn, our school.
Athletics Carnival
Our annual athletics carnival will look slightly different this year with both days being held here at St Franci.
Day 1 (Prep to Year 6) is on Thursday 15th June and Day 2 will be on Friday 16th June.
Day 1 will consist of 9yrs – 12yrs running a 200m and 800m event, while our 5yrs – 8yrs will be running a 200m event.
Day 2 will consist of sprint races for all students including relays, field events for 9yrs to 12yrs (not high jump as it will be run here at St Franics on Tuesday 6 June (9-12yrs Boys and Girls). There will also be ball games for the students as well.
A more detailed information letter will go out next week which will have further explanations of what is happening on these two days.
School Fees
Thank you to all the families who maintain a regular financial commitment to the school. Your ongoing support by paying school fees goes a long way to assist the school to meet its financial responsibilities and continuously provide contemporary resources for the students. Families who have fallen behind in payments will be contacted by the school over the next week. To avoid any unnecessary embarrassment, please take the necessary steps to bring yourself up to date with school fees before the amount owed accumulates to an unacceptable level.
Prep and Enrolments for 2024
Please continue to promote and talk about our beautiful school within the community. Word of mouth is still the number one way to advertise what we offer here.

In Maths, we have been learning about money. Year 2 students are learning to count notes and coins and make amounts in different ways. Year 1 students identified and sorted coins using colour, size, shape and value. Prep students set up a classroom shop where there was a Grocery Manager, Fruit and Vegetable Manager and Plants Manager. Students used their language and conversation skills to apply their knowledge and understanding of money. Learning made fun and differentiated!
P/1/2 experimented with a range of materials and art techniques to create beautiful Mother’s Day gifts. We enjoyed using art and craft skills to respond to our story in religion, ‘Jesus Walks on Water’ and our shared reading text, ‘The Bad-Tempered Ladybird’ by Eric Carle.

For my final Library News … I am sharing with you an infographic that reinforces the importance of speaking to and reading with your children from the outset. Any and all experiences in their early years, and continuing into their schooling days, help to build terrific habits that will only help them to grow in all areas of their learning.
Happy reading.

Another engaging fortnight of fun and learning in P/1/2.
In Visual Arts, we looked at the colour wheel to identify the three primary colours – red, blue and yellow. Students enjoyed the opportunity to mix these colours to make secondary colours and create their very own colour wheel. This colour wheel was then spontaneously turned into a clock that students were able to use for learning to tell the time.

CURRICULUM COORDINATOR
Happy Mother's Day to all of our ladies. I once heard a very wise person describe Mother’s Day as a celebration of the care, guidance and nurture that females provide their families and loved ones. Thank you to our wonderful females in our St Francis Community. You are such a blessing.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Mother's Day and had your money in on time. It makes coordination of the stall much easier when we know exactly how many gifts are required.
The teachers are busily teaching and thinking forward to their report cards. Semester 1 2023 reports will be sent out in Week 10 on Friday 23 June and they will summarise your child’s learning so far in 2023. When the teachers make a judgement about your child’s progress, they have used a variety of methods including; tests, work samples, questioning, observations and discussions.
To clarify, please remember, that a:
- ‘C’ Overall Grade on the report card means your child is demonstrating the necessary skills and understandings for that part of the curriculum.
- ‘D’ Overall grade means that your child is on their way! They have not reached the end of year standard at this point in time.
If your child is going to receive a mark of a D or E, you will be contacted by the teacher before the report card is placed on the Parent Portal.
If, at any time, you would like to discuss your child’s progress, please email your child’s teacher/s and arrange a meeting. We are in partnership with you! We love to see the growth each and every child is making and we understand the importance of sharing this growth with you.

Year 5/6 News
Year 5/6
Who was Jesus and how is he described, represented and shown in the Bible? This is the question that was posed to the Year 5/6 class this week. The students went on a bit of a hunt, to describe the words used.
In Mathematics, the students have studied integers and discounts. We have learnt how to calculate a percentage of a number in our heads (10%, 20%, 50% and 25%) and using this, we could calculate sale prices of items.
In English, we are studying the features of biographies and using our knowledge of text to locate main ideas. Next week, with Mrs Lewis, we will research various important Australians and write our own biography. This will also be helpful as the students will present a biography to the class from Week 7 to Week 10.
YEAR 3/4
Year 3/4
Excitedly, we have been using teams to work during HASS. We've watched videos on Child Convicts on ABC education to answer questions about the early convicts in Australia. The children have worked mostly independently only checking in here and there to clarify an instruction or spell a word. Our children are truly amazing using technology. We won't discuss how many times I was in the learning pit trying to distribute the task on teams. A great model of the teacher being in the learning pit.
During Math our key focus has been numbers and place value to 10 000. We've narrowed on partitioning numbers. It is interesting to see how learning partition help us to view larger numbers. Like any new learning, the more we experience larger numbers the more confident we will become.
In Religion we have been working on our Bible skills. It is rewarding to locate scripture and parables by ourselves in the Bible. Moving forward, we will be going deep on the parables- The Lost Sheep and The Prodigal Son.
Holy Communion and Confirmation classes will begin in Term 3 on Tuesday afternoons in the 3-4 classroom. Save the date 26th August.
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGES
Being Present in the Moment
Welcome to our first full week of the term! Thank you for your cooperation in organising your children to get to school on time, with wearing the correct uniform. The recent chilly weather has meant those jumpers and long pants will be needed for the next few months. I have noticed some smart-looking kids walking around our school, looking their best. I have also observed impressive behaviour from students across all year levels, including looking teachers in the eye to say good morning. It is a simple gesture but demonstrates tremendous respect and confidence. I have also seen an improvement with my own children at home.
This week, I had the opportunity to attend some professional learning around the areas of Religious Leadership and staying in the present. Leadership, across our school community and in our daily lives doesn’t rest with the principal of the school, or with mum or dad. We all have our own part to play in being our own leaders in life, especially our children. Staff continually focus on the question…‘How can I be the very best version of myself today?’
Giving our children the sense of achievement, success and positively allows their brain to develop into a growth mindset (Carol Dweck’s work) in which they see opportunities or challenges as learnings rather than obstacles. Allowing our children to fail, make a mistake or try for themselves enables their brain to develop and learn. This mindset establishes a foundation of trust and independence with themselves and creates a platform for learning throughout life.
I believe raising and rearing children is one of the hardest roles in life, as each situation/moment or event, is not always the same and each decision made can have two sides to an outcome. Both maybe right at the time, but which one is the best answer. These decisions, as with life, require right judgement, patience and understanding. The Values we teach and educate our students here at St Francis, and I am sure also at home are cruical. Knowing when to step in or not, knowing when to give the child space and when to have a chat is all about the journey. Moments that are needed for us, to be present in the moment.
Having the opportunity to be in the present, in the moment allows us to be fully aware of what is around us. Life is not static; we must ride the ebbs and flows of what life brings us. Challenges, disappointments, successes, sadness, ups and downs are all apart of live. Celebrate the here and now, apologise if a mistake has happened and focus on what is now. If we are still holding on to things in the past, are we truly able to spread our wings or does this feeling from the past weigh us down.
I urge you to listen to a wonderful presenter named Rob Bell, who explains to us that a ‘New Spirit’ is needed. If we can be fully present in the here and now, we can be open to the things in the future. What is needed for today, is a new spirit – Rob Bell.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6xRYunuf4M
Here are helpful hints to be more present in your daily life:
- Celebrate the little things/success
- Understanding that you don’t have all the answers
- Limit the amount of time on social media or devices
- Listen without tending to respond – just be there, in the moment
- Take time to really breathe
- Be grateful for things each day and if possible, share these with those people
This Sunday, we celebrate one of the most special days of each year – Mother’s Day. I pray that this Mother’s Day will be a special day for all mothers, grandmothers and guardians of our St Francis de Sales School community. Please be assured that your love, care and support of your children is appreciated by them and us here at St Frannies – we really appreciate what you do. Have a wonderful day on Sunday, hopefully being spoilt rotten.
Staffing Updates
Over the past couple of weeks, you would have been reading our recent staffing changes here at St Francis. From time to time, these things can happen. I want to reassure all members of our community that even though we may have new staff, our vales and core business doesn’t change it.
This week, we say goodbye to our Teacher Librarian, Mrs Trudi Burgess. Trudi has been a wonderful asset to the students and teachers here at St Francis, sharing her knowledge and love of books and authors with the students. We will miss her friendly welcoming personality and wish her all the best in her new career – helping teachers to access digital library resources. We wish her all the best and success in her new venture.
Next week, on Thursday 18 May, we will be wishing Mrs Tina Hilton all the best on her new position at the Clifton High School. As you would be aware, Tina has had many roles at St Francis over the years she has worked here. She has been a parent, a School Officer, the leader of the gardening club, Workplace Health and Safety Coordinator, Library Assistant and the guru of the Show and Shine. We will miss her knowledge, kindness and organisational skills and we hope that she comes back and visits us.
We welcome Mrs Andrea Lewis back to St Francis for the remainder of Term 2. We know that she has some fun, interesting work planned for the Year 5/6 class while Mrs Allison Busiko is Acting APRE at Holy Name. She is looking forward to reconnecting with the students this term.
I would also like to take this time to welcome Mrs Angela Skillington to the role of deputizer, for the next 6 weeks. Angela is well known to our families here at St Francis. Her role will be to assist the leadership team with decision making, staffing and be acting principal in my absence. Congratulations, and all the best Mrs Skillington.
Upcoming Events
- National Walk Safely to School Day – Friday 19 May: Join our staff at Edward Street Park (just down from the Police Station) and walk to school. The meeting time is 8am for an 8.05am walk. Members of our community are welcome to join us. We will have staff at school to supervise those who are unable to walk. We hope to see many students and families walking on this Friday.
- State of Origin Free Dress Day – Wednesday 31stMay: Please come dressed in your state of origin colours – a gold coin donation will be required which will go towards projection compassion and assist those families who are less fortunate than us.
- Reconciliation Week Liturgy – Friday 2 June: Please join us for a special assembly to recognise a significant time for our nation and our indigenous people of Australia.
Bus Zone - Parking and Drop Offs
A reminder to all of our families that the Bus Zone which is located directly at the front our school is only for buses. If you are parking, dropping off/picking up your child, please do so out of this area. Fines may apply if you are caught not following these rules. I sincerely appreciate your understanding and diligence with these road rules.
Tuckshop Orders
Mrs Carmel Stace would like to remind all our families that tuckshops orders for each week, close 9am on Wednesday, of that week. Later orders can not be processed as the food for each week has already been purchased. Please be organised, order in advance and not on Thursday or Friday.
Prep and Enrolments For 2024

Upcoming Gala Days and Under 8s Day
On Friday May 26 and on Friday 9 June, students across the school (Year 3 to Year 6) will be participating in the Sporting Gala days at Allora. This will involve students playing games of rugby league, soccer or netball. As in the past, you will need to provide travel for your child, as this is normally well attended by parents. If you are unable to arrange transport, to and from Allora, please let me know. If you wish your student not to attend, please let me know by Monday 22 May.
On Friday 9 June, the Prep to Year 2, will be participating in a morning of fun and enjoyment at the Under 8s Day, which is held at the Clifton State School. Please also check your emails for further information
