Two Handed Forehand!

HEALTHY HERNANI STARS This intitiative has certainly been appreciated by our students. Throughout Term 2 all students enjoyed the opportunity to cook a healthy nutritious lunch with our parent volunteers Amanda, Casey, Lisa and Sally. Thank you to our mums for organising this for students. It was confirmed out our last P & C Meeting that the fee for our cooking program would be $3.00 per student/per cooking day. The chance to learn about cooking provides wonderful learning opportunities, including real life maths and reading experiences.


Our cooking program will recommence next Monday 6th August with Sally and students in Year 2 and Year 3 cooking Beef Stir Fry. We all look forward to our delicious lunches during Term 3. REQUEST FOR EQUIPMENT FOR STUDENTS Our school has traditionally supplied all items required for daily lessons. Unfortunately this year some students have not demonstrated appropriate respect for and care of school equipment. As such we are requesting that parents please ensure that your child has the following items in their own labelled pencil case for their use on a daily basis in class:

• Colouring in pencils • HB pencils Please Note: Kindergarten students benefit from having triangular grip pencils. • An eraser • A sharpener • Students in Years 3, 4, 5 & 6 will also require

red, black and blue pens and a 30cm ruler.

• Library Bags: All students are requested to bring to school each Friday a bag to look after their Library books. Some books are being returned in an inappropriate state and we ask for parental assistance in helping care for our valuable resources. Thank you.

• Students all need labelled Water Bottles for daily use at school.

• Can all students please bring warm clothing to school during Term 3, even if it is a warm start to the day when you leave home?
