PRINCIPAL’S COMMENTS

17th April 2015 ISSUE 5

Don’t forget our SunSmart Policy. Hats to be worn during

Terms 1 and 4.

I hope everyone has had a restful

holiday break and are ready for a

busy term , as now the students

are well settled and ready to work

hard. The students in Grades 3

and 5 have the NAPLAN tests

later in May and teachers will be

preparing the students for these

activities. You can support your

child’s efforts by making sure

they continue to read for up to 20

minutes each night. Follow up

the reading with a few

appropriate questions to ensure

your child is understanding the

books / articles they may be

reading. In Maths, you can help

them by revising concepts like

“telling the time,” “reading

calendars,” and learning the

times tables.

Today the ANZAC Remembrance

Garden was officially opened by

the Federal Minister of Veteran

Affairs, the Honourable Michael

Ronaldson. Quite a few parents

were able to attend . The school

Captains were responsible for

meeting the Minister and making

a thank you speech also. The

students did an outstanding job

again and we were very proud of

the way they conducted

themselves. The students

performed “Lest We Forget”

really well and the choir led the

students in singing the National

Anthem.

Minister Ronaldson is unable to

attend our ANZAC Service next

week, as he will be in Turkey,

commemorating the 100th

Anniversary of the landing of

Australia troops at ANZAC Cove,

Gallipoli.

Wednesday the 22nd – WW2

Army Veteran, Allan Godfrey will

visit the school and talk to the

senior students about WW2. Mr.

Godfrey is 92 years old and a

spritely young man who will

answer questions from students

about what it was like to be in the

war. It certainly wasn’t fun!

Thursday the 23rd – The

students in Grades 3 to 6 will

visit the Shrine of Remembrance

in Melbourne to take part in the

Victorian Schools ANZAC

ceremony. There, they will see

and feel, firsthand, the sense of

importance that ANZAC Day

holds for all and why it is such an

important day in our history.

This is a BIG reminder for parents / carers /

family friends /relatives to come along to our

ANZAC Day commemorative service next Friday at

9:30 am.

It will be the first time we will be able to use our

ANZAC Remembrance Garden as the special place

to hold our services. The Garden has been

completed and we are extremely proud of how it

has come up. No other school has built such a

beautiful tribute to remember the spirit of the

ANZACs.

Although ANZAC Day is primarily significant to

Australian war history, it also reaches across

borders and countries and allows and, in fact,

encourages other nationalities to spend a minute

or two and think about the sacrifices that have

been made in the name of bringing peace to the

world.

At Movelle, our ANZAC service, is about

honouring PEACE not war. Therefore, I urge

people to come along and I encourage adults and

children to wear ANZAC badges, medals or

symbols of peace from all over the world and join

us when we are silent for a minute and hope for

world peace and remember those who made the

ultimate sacrifice.

Lest We Forget. We have a few guests from neighbouring schools

and businesses, and three RSL groups will be

represented and will lay a wreath at the base of the

flagpole. Any parent wishing to do the same is very

welcome to. Please see Bill Hunt for details.

ANZAC badges ($2)

available from the school office.
