Issue 4 / 26 April 2013 Last week you would have received, via email your Year level newsletters. Please contact the Junior School Office if you did not receive your newsletter.
From the Head of Junior School We have hit the ground running and it’s hard to believe that we have completed two weeks of Term 2. I hope that you had a great Easter break and managed to enjoy a chockie egg or two. Easter is a very special time of year when we get to remember the death and resurrection of Jesus and the victory over sin. Thank you to all of the students who participated in the ANZAC Day March yesterday. It was great to see so many students upholding the ANZAC Day tradition and marching to show their respect and gratitude to those who have served our country.
Congratulations to Emily Martin who competed at the Ballina Junior Open recently. Emily won 1st place in the Girls division by 5 shots and also came 5th overall. Emily might be the next Gold Coast golfer to win a green jacket. I have had the good fortune to attend the Fete committee meetings this year. There are a small number of parents who have put in a great amount of time to get the Fete ready and I thank them for their efforts. It promises to be a great day. They need your help to volunteer on some of the stalls. If you are able to help please make contact with the P&F on fete@salc.qld.edu.au to offer your services. Please remember that the Junior School will close at 12:00pm on the 24th of May to give the parents time to set up for the Fete. Mothers do so much for us and with Mother’s day coming up soon, students can purchase a much loved gift from the Mother’s day stall. Gifts have a monetary value of $5, but are in effect priceless to the mothers who receive them. The stall will be held on the 8th and 9th of May. St Andrews is currently undertaking a feasibility study into the possible establishment of a Kindergarten on the College site. As part of this you are invited to take part in an online survey. The survey is being conducted to collect feedback from current and potentially future members of the College community to establish the level of need for a Kindergarten at St Andrews. The data gained from this survey will feed into the planning of the potential facility and program. Participation in this online survey is voluntary, but highly valued and will assist with future planning. The survey itself is short, and will take no more than 10 minutes to complete. To take part in the survey, please click on the link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/D8Y92RN. You have until the 10th of May to complete the survey.
