Dear parents and friends,
The Year 2—6 students completed a Citizenship survey last week. This allows
them to make anonymous comments on their fellow students. The total was 78
positive comments and 19 negative. It is always pleasing to see our students
making astute observations about the honesty, integrity, manners and
friendliness of their peers. Many of the Blitz themes were mentioned in the
comments. Each child will be given a one-on-one interview to share the
comments directed. They won’t be told who wrote the specific things about
them, but having their positive behaviours recognised is always a rewarding
experience.
Some of the comments included:
Helps me when I am sad
Bounces back when things don’t go her way
Helps me with my work
Welcomed new students to the school
Picked up rubbish that wasn’t his
Always laughs and smiles when I pass her
Opens the doors when people have their hands full
Helped me pick up my locker when I dropped it
Tries his best at his leadership role
Says nice comments
Helps little kids with their games
Introduces herself to visitors
Always says thank you
He notices when I am down and cheers me up
Helps me when I can’t figure things out
Lets me play when I am bored
Is always kind
Always makes games fun when she joins in
Helps others feel comfortable
Helps me with my work and my running
Helps kids when they are hurt
Is positive
Always does her best

Our new Blitz is ‘Organisation’. We have listed ways children can show
their organisational skills at school to help things run smoothly. This
would also be a great ‘blitz’ to reinforce at home. A copy of the poster
is included in this newsletter.
Next week is our music day at the Hamilton Eisteddfod. Thank you to
all families who have returned the permission slip and the travel ar-
rangements form. We need these forms to be back by Tuesday at the
latest so we can make the necessary arrangements. The bus will de-
part at 9am sharp on Thursday so we are at the PAC in time for our
first event. Please contact Tammy on Monday if you have any issues
with uniform items.
The junior council are organising a casual dress day on Friday, 14th
June. There will be a theme and the money raised will go to a special
cause selected by our junior council representatives. More infor-
mation will be sent home shortly.
We have certainly entered the cold and wet season this week. It has
meant a lot of indoor play and all the heaters have been cranked up.
The school grounds are already showing the benefits of the rain, with
the grass and plants enjoying a drink.
I will be at the principals’ conference in Melbourne on Monday. Mrs
McNaughton will be taking my class.
Have a great weekend,
Anthony Hill

The Year 4/6 class have been working on information re-
ports in class. This is a completed PowerPoint on Edward
‘Weary’ Dunlop completed by Lincon. On the other page
are slides from other children’s projects on Weary.
WHEN WEARY WAS CAUGHT BY THE JAPANESEWeary was in charge of a military hospital until the Japanese army invaded. They fought the allied forces, which was made up of British, Australian and Dutch armies. After the Japanese won control of Java, the staff and patients became prisoners of war.

Thailand railway
On the 20th of march 600 men
were put to work 200 of the men
were unhealthy or very ill. If the a
sick man was to fall he would get
a whip with a bamboo sticks.
They had to dig right through the
centre of the mountain. After they
dug through the mountain they
had to build the train track.
Here are all the men working on
the railway.
WHEN WEARY WAS CAUGHT BY THE JAPANESEWeary was in charge of a military hospital until the Japanese army invaded. They fought the allied forces, which was made up of British, Australian and Dutch armies. After the Japanese won control of Java, the staff and patients became prisoners of war.
THE HARSH CONDITIONSEven though the war in Java was on there were an even harder fight to stay alive in the camp. With the harsh conditions from poor hygiene to little food. There also was the diseases, the hard work for the sick, the bad treatment they got and the sad death. This made it a hard three years for them.

“A Rural Tradition of Excellence”
Eisteddfod – Thursday, 6th June
Children are expected to arrive at school on Thursday dressed in their formal, winter uniform.
Winter formal wear (from the Cavendish PS uniform policy) (This uniform should be worn on more formal occasions such as school photo day, Eisteddfod and whenever the students are performing in public)
Girls Boys . Winter tartan skirt or navy gabardine trousers Navy gabardine trousers Navy tights White polo shirt White polo shirt Navy rugby jumper Navy rugby jumper Black shoes or boots Black school shoes Hair ties, ribbons or bands in navy or white.
Please take care to have shoes brushed and hair neat. Children need to bring all their food and drink requirements with them in their bags, as we will be in Hamilton for all of the day. We will depart at 9.00am sharp. The Eisteddfod program starts at 9.30am and we are in the first section this year. We will need to allow time for unloading our instruments, visiting the toilet and finding our seats. It is impossible to provide accurate times for each section. The program moves on to a new section as each previous section is completed. There is no cost for the children but adults will be charged an admission at the door. MORNING PROGRAM (starts at 9.30am): 1. Sacred Song and Carol (9 competitors in total – each to sing one piece). The whole school is entered in this section. We are competitor number 8. 2. Folk song (there are 8 competitors in this section – each to sing one song). The whole school is entered in this section. We are competitor number 2. 3. Choral Championship (5 competitors – each to sing two pieces). We are not
entered in this section. The lunch break will be called at the conclusion of these choir sections. We will

eat in the PAC supper room and then move into the library/art gallery area for a look at the books/displays. AFTERNOON PROGRAM (starts at 1.30pm):
1. Multi-instrumental section. The whole school is performing in this section (we have entered for two performances). We are competitors numbers 3 and 4 out of 6 entries. This is quite a slow section to complete as each school needs time to assemble instruments on the stage and then remove them at the end of each performance. We will have our marimbas, drum kit and xylophones to organise.
THIS IS WHEN WE PLAN TO SEND ALL YEAR P/1 CHILDREN BACK TO SCHOOL ON A BUS WITH MS FERRIER AND TAMMY. THEY WILL RETURN TO SCHOOL IN TIME FOR NORMAL DISMISSAL AND WILL BE ABLE TO CATCH THE SCHOOL BUSES AS USUAL.
THE YEAR 2/6 CHILDREN WILL REMAIN BEHIND WITH MRS. BARBER, MISS PURNELL AND MR HILL TO COMPLETE THEIR SECTIONS. THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO CATCH SCHOOL BUSES.

section.

When eleven-year-old Juniper May receives a petition signed by her entire class stat-ing that she is ‘the most hated person in the school’ her life is thrown into complete meltdown. Juniper stops eating, she refuses to return to school and her parents be-come increasingly desperate. Finally, after exhausting all other avenues her parents resort to the only thing they have left, a giant singing robot. Based on a true story, Robot Song illustrates the profound, transformative nature of creativity that, when combined with unconditional love, becomes an unstoppable force. For Juniper, creativity opens doors into places she never knew existed, allow-ing her to be defined on her own terms for the first time. Robot Song is a deeply personal story. It shares an honest, intensely funny and often unconventional window into writer/director Jolyon James’ experience parenting a child on the Autism Spectrum. The show poses and attempts to answer the ques-tion, how do we support, foster and celebrate difference in our children in the face of an increasingly rigid and homogenised world? Robot Song is a genuine family show. It is joyful and full of hope. It is for any child who has ever felt isolated or pushed to the margins and any parent desperate for tools to help. The show employs cutting edge digital technology, startling anima-tronics and a beautiful original musical score.
Heat up lunches During Term 2 and 3 students are allowed
