ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING
On Monday 21 June your child's report will be sent home. This is the last time parents will receive a paper copy of the report. All schools in Catholic Educaiton Canberra Goulburn are using the platform Compass, which you would have read about in previous newsletters. This platform will push out student reports in Semester 2. As well, it will offer a platform to book parent teacher interviews. Further communication will come through the newsletter.
There will be no comments on student's reports this Semester, as previously reported in the newsletter. As a result of this, parent teacher interviews are particularly important. Classroom teachers are making every effort to meet with you to discuss next steps in your child's learning. Please support your child's learning by meeting with teachers. The waiting room for the interviews are
K-Year 2 parents please wait in the Kinder class space at the end of the classroom. Please enter at the stairs at the far entrance to the classrooom.
Year 3-4 parents please wait in the library.
Year 5-6 parents please wait in the library.

PARISHIONERS
A number of weeks ago we offered a training session for parishoners to support us in the Reinforced Reading Program. We have been lucky enough to have Geoff Orchison and Nettie Donnelly join TEAM TRINITY. Both Geoff and Nettie have been reading with students on a regular basis and both have commented on how much they enjoy the program, and how much improvement they have seen with this program in such as short space of time. If you are a parent, parishoner, grandparent or community member who would like to join TEAM TRINITY. please contact me caz.perryman@cg.catholic.edu.au and we will have you trained up in no time.
You may have heard your children talking about Squiz Kids. Squiz Kids is a media POD cast that engages primary school students in current affairs and critical media literacy. At Trinity we do like to be on the cutting edge of education and of course we are. Trinity will be a pilot school for the extension of Squiz Kids next term. The producer of the program Amanda Bower has approached our school, after Penny Lucas engaged in evaluating the program and fedback wonderings and possibilities and work will begin with year three to six next term. The program is curriculum driven, student centred and has high student engagement. At today's Open House special guest from Squiz Kids Bryce Corbett attended and spoke to the children about the reason why he created Squiz Kids.
We continue to keep the Albert and Johnson families in our prayers as they continue to re-build. Please join us for our "It all started with a Lemonade Stand Day" on Tuesday 21 June.
Peace be with you.

200 Years of Catholic Education in Harden -Murrumburrah
Historical Snippets – St. Mary’s School
St Mary’s was the first Catholic School built in Murrumburrah in 1877 until a rise in population saw the introduction of St Columba’s in 1917. Due to a decline in town population, the two schools merged in 1980 to form Trinity Catholic School which has continued to flourish and uphold the motto –
TO KNOW - TO LOVE - TO SERVE
It is through the support of the local community, the numerous priests and religious sisters who worked tirelessly for the children of Harden and Murrumburrah, dedicated teaching staff and parents that Catholic Education has survived and prospered for 144 years.
St Mary's Catholic Church – The Church Bell
The Church bell was erected in 1879 at a cost of £126, on a wooden frame at the south-east end of the church. The bell was purchased from Murphy & Sons, Dublin, for £90, freight to Sydney cost £7, train and cartage £4 and the cost of Knox to erect the structure and hang the bell was £21.
Around the top of the bell is embossed ‘CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF MERCY MURRUMBURRAH’. On the body is a Celtic harp surmounted by a coronet and underneath two shamrocks. Around the base ‘MURPHY & SONS DUBLIN’.
Religion in Kinder/1/2
In K/1/2, the students have been learning about stories and important people from the Old Testament such as Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Esau, Jacob, Isaac and Rebecca. Year 2 have been investigating the relationships that these people had with God and how they placed a huge amount of trust in His promises.
I like Abraham the most because he was the father of many nations like the Canaanites, Israelites and the Levites. Timmy
Sarah is my favourite because she was laughing when Abraham said we can have a baby even though we’re really old. Dakota
Abraham is my favourite because he helped Sarah have lots of babies. Jack
I really like the story of Moses because he was really brave as a baby and then grew up to free all of the slaves. Lana
I like Moses’ mum because she trusted in God to keep Moses hidden for 3 months before she had to send him down the River Nile. Ivy

Peer Support
This week we further develop the range of strategies we can use in challenging situations. This session focuses on step 3 of the model, ‘Proceed’. In order to learn from situations and move forward, children need to go beyond thinking of strategies and action them. Children recognise despite the use of a range of strategies, sometimes they cannot change the situation. At these times, it is important to accept the situation and move forward with a positive outlook.
Encourage your child to follow through with strategies they have discussed and planned to use. It is important to then help them evaluate if this has worked or if they need to try a different strategy.
Yr 3/4 Open House
Year 3/4 presented their Open House in the form of a Squiz Kids episode. Trinity students were surprised by special guest, Bryce Corbett, voice of Squiz Kids, who dropped in via Zoom to say hello.
