Dear Parents, Next weekend our Year Four students will receive the Sacrament of Eucharist, this is a special time for the children and we keep them in our prayers at this time. Thank you in advance to the children who will join us on this special occasion to form the choir. What a fun night was had by all in attendance last Saturday at the trivia night. I would like to thank Laura, Yvette and Lisa for organising this fun event for our school community. It was a great opportunity to connect in a relaxed atmosphere while sharing laughs over trivia. Congratulations to our winning team Alice Cooper (you know who are). We have had several groups of students represent our school over the last couple of weeks in our community including the following events: Cross Country, the Dolphin Research Institute and the Tootgarook Wetlands. Teachers who attended these events have all commented on how respectful, enthusiastic and well mannered the children were. To hear such feedback is always pleasing. Bullying Education At last week’s assembly we watched a video which highlighted the importance of standing up to bullying behaviour. Four strategies were explained which we can all draw on to be ‘up-standers’ rather than bystanders when we witness bullying. The strategies are: 1. Be a buddy 2. Interrupt 3. Speak out 4. Tell someone
Please ask your child about this video, it is easy to understand and as a school we are focusing on using a shared language and strategies that can help make Fatima a safe place to learn. You can watch this video by clicking on this link.

Next Monday we welcome back Monica and look forward to hearing about her learning and adventures from her time in Dublin.
Yours Sincerely, Marita O’Sullivan ACTING PRINCIPAL

District Cross Country
Last Wednesday Mr. Koole and his band of helpers took 40 children to represent the school
at the district cross country which was run at Trueman’s Road. They had perfect weather
and all of the children should be proud of the way they represented the school. 8 of our
athletes finished in the top 10 and now go on to compete at divisional level against children
who have also gone through in their districts. It is a big step up and we wish them all well
and know that they will give their best. It has been great to see so many at running club and
once again a big thanks to Mr. Koole for all of his organisation and encouragement.
Cybersafety
This week I was able to work with some Grade 4 classes in cybersafety. I was very
impressed with their knowledge and their maturity in discussing behaviours and ways to
keep ourselves safe online. We made some posters to remind us about some ways to keep
ourselves safe when using online apps and websites.
These tips apply for everyone and one of the wondering questions
the children came up with was:
Why do children under 13 have social media access to such applications as
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and so on when they actually have age restrictions?
Maybe this can prompt your own discussions at home with children about being safe online.
Here are some of the 4DC tips: -Everything you do online can be traced -Don’t share personal information -Always have an adult’s permission and supervision when online. -If you feel uncomfortable about anything you see or read TELL AN ADULT. -Many apps have age ratings, this is for a reason and it is considered fraud to lie about your age. -Never photograph someone without permission and don’t post school uniform photos online.

The answer to our last maths problem was – 10.

OUR LADY OF FATIMA - ROSEBUD - PARISH MASS TIMES
Weekdays: 9:30am Saturday: 9:30am & 5.30pm Sunday: 8.00am & 9.30am
INDONESIAN UPDATE.....Thank you to all the families who donated recycled materials
for us to make games and activities in Indonesian. The Year two and three students really enjoyed
creating their own ball-toss game from recycled milk cartons and other materials, and they were
excited to take the game home and share it with their families! Students from Foundation to Year
three have also loved learning the Indonesian game ‘Semut, Orang, Gajah’ (the Indonesian version of
‘Rock, Paper, Scissors). The students are doing some great work learning about the similarities and
differences between the way that children play in Australia and around the world, and making some
insightful observations about how they can have lots of fun, without lots of fancy or expensive things!
Well done everyone! - Ibu Barnett.
LIBRARY - help needed
Our school has purchased many new books for our classrooms. We would like some help to
stamp, tape and label the books over the next few weeks as they arrive from the bookshop, so
the books can get to the classrooms as soon as possible. If you are able to help for an hour or
two any morning, could you please email Bronwyn Keane to let her know which day you could
help? [email protected] Any help will be most appreciated!
KEEP THE DATE - SCHOOL FAIR - SUNDAY 6TH NOVEMBER
THIS PROMISES TO BE A GREAT DAY FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL COMMUNITY

a logo for the fair. We have had lots of entries returned to the office . Its not too late to submit your
entry. If you have lost your entry form please ask at the office for another one.
‘Back to School’ savings tips: Ask your school for an expenses list to see if you can pay for any costs via instalments, such
as school camps and excursions. Buy second-hand textbooks and uniforms. Develop a budget and do your research to find the best “back to school” bargains. Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) www.education.vic.gov.au/csef is available to families on lower incomes to help with school costs
Saver Plus gives local families incentive to save - Jenny’s story
With a ten-year-old daughter and high school a few years away, Jenny
saw a need for a new computer and an improved savings habit. At first,
the prospect of saving regularly was daunting after hearing about the
Saver Plus program well before she actually joined in 2010.
“At first I was scared of committing to putting money away because I
couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. A few years later I
said ‘I need to do this’,” she said. When Jenny joined Saver Plus she
didn’t think too far ahead, but has now developed a savings habit that
has continued well after she completed the program.
“I feel more secure and I have more confidence in myself too. I got a
lot of satisfaction from saving for a new computer. I’d never really saved for anything before.”
To find out more about Saver Plus call or sms 1300 610 355 or email [email protected] .
5/6 SCHOOL CAMP FEE
