Dear Parents/Carers,
Welcome back to Term 2!
It was wonderful to be part of my first Resurrection Day Celebration. As always, our students sang so beautifully in Mass and even the rainy, cold Melbourne weather could not stop our family picnic which was held inside.
In the afternoon session our students took part in a special celebration with Fr. Rob Galea where they enjoyed singing and learning about our faith.
Staffing News
We have employed two new Learning Support Officers to assist our students with their learning. Both Hayley Rae and Olivia Duvcevski will begin with us next week.
Congratulations to:
-Katherine Salloum on being officially employed as Senior Team Level Leader (Years 5 and 6) for the remainder of 2024.
- Michelle Widdison on being appointed P-6 Maths Leader for 2024. Michelle has been doing lots in that role this year already.
Congratulations on new roles at different schools to:
- Ruth Galea, who has just been employed as the Admin Manager/Bursar at St. Margaret Mary’s Spotswood. Ruth’s last day will be Friday May 17.
- Angelina Touron, who has just been employed as a New Arrival’s teacher at St. Anne’s Sunbury. Angelina’s last day here will be Thursday May 9.
I wish to thank Ruth and Angelina for their hard work and support to our school community.
School Improvement at Resurrection
In previous newsletters I spoke about our new School Improvement Plan. Over the rest of this year our main focus will be to begin the work.
To develop a whole school evidence-based pedagogical approach, The Resurrection Way, to achieve growth for all by embedding highly effective teaching strategies, both in practice and in documentation.
Our staff in staff meetings and professional learning time will take part in a learning journey investigating the latest evidence-based approaches to build upon what our staff already know and to strive to always get better.
We as a staff will then take that learning, build upon what we are already doing and put new learning in place to improve the education of your children.
We will begin this process with looking at reading and investigating some new learning called the “Science of Reading”. The most important part will be to put this new learning into our context at Resurrection and to make it work for our children.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
Best wishes,
Adrian Glasby
Principal
Resurrection Day Reflection
Last Friday, rain or shine, we celebrated our Resurrection Feast Day! Although our school’s name may suggest that our school feast day is on Easter Sunday itself, it's helpful we have another 7 weeks of Easter to find time to celebrate together as a school!
Beginning the day with House Spirit activities, we thank Miss Salloum and our student leaders for putting together an exciting set of events for our students and for adjusting activities to suit the wet weather. From ‘the limbo’ to designing house shields, the morning had a house focus with lots of fun in between!
Afterwards we welcomed Fr. Rob Galea, a priest from the Sandhurst Diocese who is an internationally acclaimed author, singer, and songwriter with multiple albums under his belt. He concelebrated our Resurrection Day Mass with Fr. Gerard before an afternoon session with our Years 3-6s and then the whole school.
During the Year 3-6 session, he reminded us all that sometimes we may be too afraid to do the right thing or the difficult thing. He called these excuses our ‘big buts!’ - we want to do one thing BUT, an excuse stops us! He reminded students that to achieve great things, we may sometimes struggle and fall, but if we remain grounded in Jesus, He will give us the strength to get back up again and achieve whatever we put our mind to! We then finished our jam-packed day with music and dance!
I would firstly like to extend a big thank you to our families who attended our Community Picnic. It is a shame the weather forced us indoors, but we appreciate your support in joining us for our special day despite the fact! Any opportunity to gather and spend time with one another is important, and we thank you for taking the time to join us for our picnic.
We also thank our parent helpers who volunteered their time and assisted us in packaging and distributing our celebration donuts. I would also like to especially thank Mrs. Azzopardi and Mrs. De Leon who offered their time and talents to create our beautiful balloon decor that students and families were able to take photos with throughout the day. All these elements, no matter how big or small, were significant in enhancing our celebrations and ensuring its success!
We hope all our students and staff had a wonderful Resurrection Day!
Blessings for a wonderful Term 2 ahead!
In Faith,
Erica Aclan
Religious Education Leader
House Spirit - Student Reflection
After a successful Resurrection Day, the student leaders sat down with Miss Salloum to reflect on how the day ran. They were able to critically evaluate the events of the day and what changes they thought would make the next House Spirit Day even successful. The student leaders did an excellent job at organising their first House Spirit activity session!
Have a look at their thoughts below!
Junior School at the Melbourne Zoo
Last Tuesday, the Grade 1 and 2 students attended an excursion at the Melbourne Zoo. We went to the zoo to support our learning about how connections exist between living things and the environment.
Please scan the QR codes below to listen to some of our reflections about our excursion. Please note, if the QR codes do not work you may need to download the Seesaw app.

Winter School Uniform
As we are now in Term 2 all students are required to be in their full school winter uniform. To support students to transition to the winter uniform this week and next week are crossover weeks. This gives you the opportunity to source new winter uniforms if required.
A reminder that uniforms can be purchased at PSW either in person at their Ravenhall address or online at
PSW have the new Resurrection Rugby Jumpers in stock. These jumpers were introduced by the School Advisory board based on parent feedback wanting another option than the soft-shell jacket to go with the PE uniform. Our students wearing them last week looked amazing!
The details of the Resurrection Winter uniform can be found further down in this newsletter.
Second-Hand Uniform Sale
One of the items that came up in our School Advisory Board last term was the possibility of a second-hand uniform stall.
We are looking at having set afternoons where parents can hire (for a fee of $10.00) a trestle table to sell old uniforms to other parents. Parents will then be able to keep the money made at the uniform sales.
The date for the first second hand sale will be Thursday 2nd of May from 2.40 - 3.10. All sales must be concluded by 3.10 so that parents are able to collect their children in time for the 3.15 bell.
We are also asking for any parents who would like to donate second hand uniforms to the school. We will then pass these on to families in need and/or sell to put towards the schools 2024 fundraising efforts. Please note all items donated must be in good condition.
If you are interested in selling second hand uniforms and hiring a trestle table, please email the school office office@rskingspark.catholic.edu.au
We are excited to announce that this year, the fundraising committee will be holding a Mother’s Day stall! The stall will be held on Tuesday 7th of May with all gifts being sold for $5.00.
Parents will need to pre purchase items sold at the Mother’s Day stall using the following link.
http://resurrection-catholic-primary-school.square.site/
Your child will then receive a token at school which they will take to the stall to exchange for a gift. To begin with each child will only be able to purchase ONE item to ensure that all families get the opportunity to buy a gift from the stall.
If there are any remaining gifts available for purchase the square site will be reopened with the remaining number of gifts available for anyone to purchase.
Please note that all gifts are $5.00 and there are 8 different items to choose from.
Dads, grandparents and other special friends, we are calling out for any helpers with WWC (working with children checks) who are available to assist at the Mothers Day stall on Tuesday 7th from 8.30am until 11.00am. Please contact the office if you are able to assist.

Term Overviews
Last term we trialled term overviews that were sent home to families to ensure that you are aware of learning that is taking place in your child’s classroom. This included general ideas, overviews and also suggestions on how you can support your child at home.
Thank you to those who provided us with feedback about these documents. Our fantastic teaching teams are working on finalising these documents for you for the Term 2 learning period. We hope to have these sent out via Seesaw by the end of Week 2 (Friday 26th April).
There are some amazing learning experiences that are planned for our students this term and we are excited to continue with them on their journey of continuous improvement and personal growth.
Mrs Shannon Betham
Deputy Principal Learning & Organisation
We have a number of parents who were parking in the ‘No Stopping Zone’ on either Myuna Drive or Gum Road.
The purpose of the additional ‘No Stopping 8.15-9.15am & 3-4pm School Days’ restrictions is to reduce congestion and improve road safety during the busy school morning drop off and afternoon pick up times.
Restricting the parking along this section of Myuna Drive and Gum Road, will primarily assist parents/motorists when exiting the internal school car park facility (drop off & pick up area). It is also indented to improve road safety at the intersection of Myuna Drive/Gum Road during the busy school peak times.
We thank every parent and guardian who continues to show courtesy and ensure that all our students remain safe through their actions during drop off and pick up times.
Please note that the council may do spot inspections, if you are found to be parking in a ‘No stopping zone’ the fine may range from $96 to $192!
Art Donations:
For Visual Arts this term we are focusing on construction using recycled materials. We aim to create art pieces that are community and Earth focused; reusing and repurposing resources.
We kindly ask if you can please donate the following items:
Shoe boxes or small cardboard boxes
2. Paper towel rolls (not toilet rolls please)
3. Cereal Boxes
4. If you have any unwanted and unused paper plates
Your help and generosity is greatly appreciated.
Please place any art donations in the blue tub.
A blue and clearly labelled tub will be placed outside the art room for drop off.
Many thanks,
Tosh and Emma

A reading from the holy Gospel according to John 15:1-8
All who live in me, and I in them bear much fruit.
Jesus said to his disciples:
‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that bears no fruit he cuts away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes to make it bear even more. You are pruned already, by means of the word that I have spoken to you. Make your home in me, as I make mine in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, but must remain part of the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from me you can do nothing. Anyone who does not remain in me is like a branch that has been thrown away – he withers; these branches are collected and thrown on the fire, and they are burnt. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask what you Will and you shall get it. It is to the glory of my Father that you should bear much fruit, and then you will be my disciples.’
Gospel Reflection
The Lectionary of this Easter season draws out some of the ‘classic’ gospel passages, particularly some of the discourses from the Gospel of John. Like many ‘famous’ or familiar passages, it can be true that familiarity breeds contempt – we think we are so familiar with the passage that we don’t need to pay it much attention.
At first glance, it appears that there is a certain ruthlessness about the image of the vinedresser pruning the vine: perform or perish! However, the process of cutting away and pruning branches is an incredibly nurturing action; it is removing the unproductive portions of the plant so that the vine has an even better opportunity to produce fruit in the next season. It an act of love; not an act of economic rationalism. Within our own lives we are called to make decisions about which of our thoughts and actions are life-giving (fruit-bearing) and which are unproductive; negative; crippling; life-diminishing. If we are able to ‘prune’ our life-diminishing thoughts and actions we allow ourselves the freedom and the ability to really flourish. Feelings of jealousy, greed, resentment, self-doubt and lack of confidence can limit our ability to be fully alive just as addictive and harmful behaviours can physically take away our ability to perform at our best.
I am reminded of the old Karate Kid movie when the boy, Daniel, is introduced to the art of bonsai. He is told to close his eyes, imagine the perfect tree and then start clipping and shaping the plant to make real the perfection that lies within it. It is only through a process of cutting away and pruning that we can nurture ourselves to realise the beauty of our potential.
Living the Gospel - Bearing fruit
The vinedresser of this passage cuts away the dead branches and prunes back those that are not bearing fruit. In what way do we bear fruit? When we strive to reach our fullest potential in whatever we do, we bear fruit. When we act out of motivation for the other person rather than ourselves, we bear fruit. When we strive to bring about the reign of God in our small part of the world, we bear fruit. Sometimes we too need to have some of our thoughts and actions pruned so that we might better bear the fruit that we are truly capable of producing.
Scriptural context - in context
The imagery that Jesus used in his parables and in extended metaphors such as the one used in this week’s gospel sometimes seems a little foreign to a 21st century audience. However, the world in which Jesus lived and taught was dominated by small scale farmers and producers in an agrarian economy. His use of images such as ‘shepherd’, ‘vine’, ‘tenants’, ‘farmers’ and ‘wineskins’ would all have been immediately recognisable to his audience. They would also have appreciated much more than we do the subtlety of Jesus’ use of such images when he twists them in an unexpected way
Historical Context - The ‘True’ vine
The image of the vine has its origins in Psalm 80 where the nation of Israel is likened to a vine: ‘You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it. You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land.’ (Ps 80:8-9) However, the people of Israel have forgotten who they are and who it was that planted them in their country – it is like the rootstock of a grafted plant has taken over and gone wild. Jesus’ presence as the ‘true vine’ reminds them of what they are called to be.
