Common Sense strategies for raising girls
Sacred Heart Feast Day Friday 11th June
The school will be celebrating the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Friday 11th June. The students will attend mass and participate in a range of activities that will create an awareness, understanding and appreciation of our environment. Pope Francis' second encyclical Laudato Si' (Praised Be You) is a document about caring for our world and the current ecological crisis we are facing. He calls us all to ‘care for our common home’.
Sacred Heart has been successful in its application for a community Floriade planting program. This will be one of the wonderful service activities during our Sacred Heart Feast Day. We will be demonstrating how we can connect to others in our community through meaningful action. Keep an eye on the garden out the front of the school over the next few weeks.
Sacred Heart would like to thank Bunnings for donating materials to help us create our mini Floriade. The school would also like to thank Jarrod, Lachlan and Isla’s dad, who will be donating his time and resources to help make this project possible.
Sacred Heart Feast Day is on Friday 11th June. All children are asked to wear their sports uniform on this day.
A special recess treat has been organised by Mrs Kane and can be ordered for $4.00 on QKR under “Tuckdays”. Orders close Monday 7th June.
End of May spells Hats Off Day
Yes, it is that time of the year again! The end of May is when we start to witness UV levels dropping off in Canberra to levels that are considered low (under 3) for part, if not most, of the day. It is also that time of the year when confusion sets in around sun protection recommendations in ACT school settings.
To keep things simple and consistent for ACT primary schools and early childhood services, many years ago Cancer Council ACT coined the phrase End Of May is Hats Off Day to assist these busy settings with their ‘hats on’ (hats off) behaviour.
So, in keeping with the End of May is Hats Off Day tune, all Canberra primary school students (and teachers) can leave their hats off for the months of June and July due to low (under 3) daily UV levels each day in the ACT.
The End of May spells Hats Off Day for ACT primary schools, for a few months anyway because the Beginning of August is Hats On Again For All Of Us as UV levels start to rise again in Canberra putting sensible sun protection behaviour back on the radar.
