Principal’s Message
As we come to the end of Term 1, I would like to wish all our families a safe and
happy Easter holiday. We hope our students rest and recharge over the holiday
break, ready for another great term of learning.
Our teachers have one more working day tomorrow before their holidays begin -
Moderation Day. ACPS teachers will be working with teachers from the Latrobe
Cluster to look at student work samples and use the evidence and research based
Griffin Protocol to assist them in planning for future teaching and learning. Thank
you to our families for your ongoing support of our professional Learning Days.
A reminder that during the holiday break, our Student Council will be
representing our school at the Latrobe ANZAC Day parade and ceremony. We
invite all ACPS students to join in the parade march. Students must be in full
school uniform and meet me at 9.30am next to the Latrobe Memorial Hall.
Finally, a reminder that our School Association AGM is in week 2 of Term 2 and
we are still accepting nominations for parent representatives. More information is
included in today’s newsletter.
Happy Easter!
Yours in Partnership
Sarah-Jane Tregenza
ANZAC Day - Latrobe Community March
The Student Council will be representing our school
at the Latrobe ANZAC Day parade and ceremony.
We would like to invite any other ACPS students to
join us to march in the parade. Students are
required to be in full school uniform and can
meet Mrs Tregenza at 9.30am next to the
Latrobe Memorial Hall (in James Street). Rather
than laying a wreath, our two Student Council chair
people, Anissa and Hayden, will be laying a book at
the cenotaph which will later be presented to
Rubicon Grove.

World’s Greatest Shave !
On 7 April we had our Crazy Hair Day to raise
money to give to the Leukaemia Foundation. It
was a great success. Most children at ACPS
brought along a gold coin and had super crazy
HAIR.
Hayden, Tim Stillman, Harrison and Mr Connelly
shaved their heads. Mr Connelly said “If we raised
another $50.00, he would also shave his head!”
WELL DONE MR CONNELLY YOU’RE A STAR!
We raised, as a school, $353.00. That number is
not including the $227.00 that Hayden raised and
the $305.00 that the Stillman family raised. All
together we raised $885! Well done every one
who participated in our crazy hair day event.

New Canteen Term 2!
We have decided to trial a new canteen option next term. Each Friday, Devonfield
Enterprises will be operating from the ACPS canteen with a healthy menu for staff and
students.
“HEALTHY CUISINE” promotes healthy eating by using low fat and
no added salt products plus NO NUTS, MAYONAISE or EGGS.
GLUTEN FREE options also available.
When: Every Friday in Term 2 starting 5 May
Student collects brown paper bag from their classrooms.
Place the student’s name, class and order on the front of the bag with the correct money
(no change will be given from school).
Orders need to be into the office no later than 3pm on Wednesday afternoon.
If the child is sick on Canteen Day, the order will be kept for the following week.

Funky Bunnies For the past two weeks in 2/3P
anticipation has been growing for the Easter
Bunny to deliver lots of chocolate this
Sunday. While no one has actually seen the
real Easter Bunny, we decided to give a
picture of a bunny a very funky makeover.
Look around to see what some of 2/3P’s
budding artists have created!

We have also looked at
acrostic poems. I think you
will agree, Drustan has
summarised Easter really
well in his acrostic poem.

4/5AV Persuasive Text The Person I Look Up To.
The person I look up to is my great Aunty June. Open this book and read! If you think that you’re a better
Aunty than her then try and beat these reasons and examples!
Firstly, I look up to my great Aunty June because she tells the best stories and all of them are true! I re-
member, one day when my great Aunty June came to my Nan’s house next door, so me, Mum and Rose
went over have lunch with her. We sat and ate our lunch and dessert and my great Aunty June did most of
the talking . She told us some amazing things! I could have listened to her all day!
Secondly, I look up to my great Aunty June because she is the best cook ever! She bought some apple
crumble to and it was delicious! We went to a family barbeque with all my cousins, aunties and uncles.
There was so much food but Aunty June made the most of it!
Thirdly, I look up to my great Aunty June because she is so kind! At the family barbeque my cousins and I
were picking her flowers and making a bouquet, then we put them all together and gave them to her. She
wasn't the slightest bit angry that we picked all her flowers.
So now you can see that my great Aunty June is the person I look up to because she tells the best stories,
she is the best cook and she is so kind. I hope you now believe that my great Aunty June is the best person
to look up to.
The end.

Mummy is Epic!!!!
Just imagine your role model doing the things that you love. I know that my mum is truly the best.
Firstly, my mum is somebody I clearly look up to because she is caring. An example of this is when I am
hurt she cares for me.
Secondly, my mum is EXTREMELY the best role model for me because she is loving. An example for this is
she will always look after my family and me.
Thirdly, my mum is an ideal role model for me because she is always happy at home and work. An example
for this is she greets everybody at work and at home. She always makes tea for the family.
In conclusion, I think my mum is the best role model for me because she is caring, loving and always happy.
So that is why I think my mum is he best role model for me ever!
