Week 9 Update...How did that Happen?!

Welcome to Week 9!

I feel like it was week 4 and then suddenly we are looking down the barrel of 9 days left...what! 

First Eucharist - We had the most amazing experience this morning celebrating Zoe, Jett, Tom and Keenan as they received Eucharist for the first time.

They were so reverent, respectful and present and it was such a joy and privilege to be a part of this...absolutely blown away by them and their beautiful families!

I had a number of people from the congregation come up to me after mass had finished to congratulate the children on their participation...including two lovely ladies down at Dome!

We were also super lucky to have the amazing band support us today...the music was on point and added so much to the ambience of the morning. So grateful to those students that gave up their Saturday night and Sunday morning to support us!

Congratulations again to Jett, Zoe, Keenan & Tom!

 





As part of the service, the candidates read the following prayer which I have included here as a reminder to keep these families in our prayers.

A prayer for Ukraine

Loving God, We pray for the people of Ukraine, for all those suffering or afraid, that you will be close to them and protect them. We pray for world leaders, for compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices. 

We pray for the world that in this moment of crisis, we may reach out in solidarity to our brothers and sisters in need. 

May we walk in your ways so that peace and justice become a reality for the people of Ukraine and for all the world. 

Amen

REMINDERS - WEEK 9 

Parent Meetings - If I have requested a meeting with you, I would have made contact with you last week to organise a Teams meeting. 

If you make sure that you are in and waiting a couple of minutes beforehand to ensure the tech all works...I have meetings every day and I am very mindful of being on time for each one, if you can please help me with this I would be most grateful!

If I am running late, I apologise...I will be there, I promise!

If you would like to request a meeting with me, please feel free to email me to set up a time to make this happen. 

We will schedule these meetings for Week 10 as I am fully booked this week, but please do get in touch if you would like to!

At the conclusion of our meeting, I will finalise our meeting notes, scan and then send them through to for your reference!

Laptops - last week, we had a number of laptops each day that came to school not charged. 

I don't have a charger to for the students to use and they are not supposed to bringing their chargers. 

If you can please have a chat with your child about getting them into the habit of placing them on charge on Sunday and Wednesday nights for example so they can get through the week!

Pupil Free Day - A reminder that students finish Term 1 on Thursday 7th April.

Congratulations to Zoe Starr, our award card winner for this week!


Wishing you all a fantastic week, I look forward to seeing many of you for the first time!

Kindest regards,

Mrs Delane

Week 9...The Last One!

Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the final week, if you are like me, I can remember October and then suddenly the term is at its end!  It has been a busy one here, I was lucky enough to head to the Player's night on Thursday down at Shark Park and then was also able to head to the Volunteers Breakfast on Sunday...had the best chat with Bob Murphy, he is one funny cat!  What a great opportunity for our town to have the players in, they were so appreciative of the opportunity to come and connect with their fans and were a pleasure to be around! I would like to say the biggest and most sincere thank you to you as a parent group, you have been so supportive of myself and your children and we have had a thoroughly brilliant year as a group!  To see how much the children have grown and changed is such a privilege and I am going to miss them all very very much. I wish you and your families, a enjoyable and restful break, I am sure we will see each other on the beach or around town betwe

Week 6 Has Arrived!

Good morning parents! I hope you are all staying nice and warm in this very strange weather...I have no idea what is going on with it! One minute it's warm and sunny and the next I'm reaching for the trackies and ugg boots!  I hope you all enjoyed the day off yesterday?! We had a great PL day yesterday looking in more detail at the Judging Standards created by the School Curriculum Authority. These are the documents that we use in conjunction with our professional judgement, your child's See Saw journal and work completed in class to determine grading for our reports.  We then finished the day throwing some rocks at the Dunsborough Country Club...under Neil's watchful gaze, I proved to be not a very good lawn bowler and a person who has no concept of medium pace...who knew??  We also farewelled Miss Cain on Thursday, the students were very sad to see her go and she was so sad to leave them...she had a warm and positive impact on the students in her time in 4DEL and we w

Week 8 Update

Image
Good afternoon parents, Welcome to the end of Week 7, it was a busy one for us in 4DEL as we finalised some assessments and enjoyed a smooth week of learning. I unfortunately ended up leaving early yesterday as I seem to have picked up this virus going around...thankfully it isn't Covid and I am hoping a day on the couch today will help send it packing! My daughter Ella, is competing in the State Championships in Basketball up in Perth and I'm a bit devo I can't be there...something I am working hard on is accepting the things that I cannot change, this appears to be one of them. I hope you are all well, I have had a few students share with me some things going on with sickness and things just being a bit tough...if there is any way that I can help, please do let me know! We have a pastoral care freezer for just these things! Congratulations to Emme on receiving our Merit Award last week, an absolute legend who just keeps on keeping on! A few reminders for the coming week..
