School Closure Staff Faith Formation Day 2

Dear Parents, Students & Friends,

What a fantastic week for our students and staff. Smiles, enthusiasm, a huge dash of creativity together with a touch of childish fun permeated the classrooms, corridors and playground this week. Crazy Hair Day, together with the Grade 5 Dance Battle highlights just how creative our community is. I know that my mother reads this newsletter every week and will definitely have something to say about my hair style.

Prep Enrolments

We now only have 14 places available for Prep next year with us confirming at Tuesday night’s School Advisory Board that we will be running 3 Prep class for 2023. Could I ask that if you know of any families who are seeking a school for their child for next year, to please contact the school as soon as possible. Please note that there are some Year levels that we are not able to take any further enrolments due to capacity and ensuring that we are able to provide the learning and care to those students already enrolled.

Parent Volunteers & Classroom Participation

This past term, we have seen a marked increase in the number of parents offering to volunteer and help out with so many of the school’s activities. We strongly encourage you, if for but once a year, to take the opportunity to volunteer in one of the school’s activities. Our students love seeing you there and so do our teachers.

Resurrection Day

Next week we celebrate our school’s feast day. The planning for this has been exceptional and it promises to be an amazing day. As it is the last day of term, and we are ending the day by gathering in the Church for a final assembly, it would be wonderful if as many parents took the opportunity to be present. It will be standing space only if you all attend but so worth it to see and hear our students sing.

With warmest regards,

Des Noack

Please note that interviews are for 15 minutes and spaces are limited. If you require more time with a particular teacher, please arrange a separate meeting by contacting your child’s teacher directly.

Enhancing & Celebrating Our School Community

As part of my role as School Community leader, I would love to introduce a community section in our school newsletter. This is an opportunity for you as Resurrection Parents to let us know about any special events that may be happening in your communities, family groups or for your children.

We would like to know about when your community groups are celebrating special events or when your child/ren have sporting wins, dance exams, language school awards etc. We would love to be able to publish these celebrations in our newsletter (with photos of course) to acknowledge all the different communities and groups that our families are part of. An example of this is Aturo in 6A.

Please note that this is not an opportunity to advertise for local sporting groups or businesses providing a community service but more a celebration of all our all the community groups, clubs and organisations who make up our Resurrection community.

If you have an item you would like to share with our school community please email jdavis@rskingspark.catholic.edu.au

Mrs Jess Davis

Deputy Principal: Wellbeing & School Community

Congratulations to ALL our Grade 5’s for having participated in this year’s Dance Battle. It was fantastic to see the talent, expression, joy and energy you all displayed throughout your dances.

A huge thanks you to all our staff who contributed to the success of this event through their encouragement of students to participate, setting up the stage, providing feedback on each dance performed and even getting involved in the dance battle themselves. A special mention goes to Mr Suaesi and Mr Pham who truly surprised all of us with their dance moves.

To Ms Jody Banks (Performing Arts Specialist Teacher) and Mr Matt Dalton (Master of Ceremonies), thank you for again raising the bar when it comes to performing arts and our school performances. You are to be commended in your efforts.

And lastly, congratulations to Grade 5B who won this year’s dance battle. We are all looking forward to seeing what next year’s dance competition brings.

Grade 6 District Sports

Our experience when Manny Muscat came and trained the girls for the tournament.

Last Thursday, 8th June a special visitor came to our school and trained a group of Year 6 girls for the Soccer Tournament. The special visitor was my dad Manny Muscat.

He was an A-League player but sadly he is retired now. Before my dad came and trained the girls, Mrs Jen told me “How cool it would be if your dad could come and train us girls” as a joke. I then thought she was serious so I actually asked my dad if he could come and train us and he said yes.

The day had come, the training began, it was so fun, but mostly awkward because half of the school was literally staring at us the whole time. At least we had a good time and improved on our passing, dribbling and shooting (in the goals). On our tournament we placed 5th, it’s better than being 7th.

We improved a lot and had a great time.

Thank You

Nevaeh 6C

The Grade 6 girls represented Resurrection Catholic Primary School in the district soccer tournament on Tuesday. It was wonderful to see the girls having fun and all trying their best. Miss Paola and I were extremely proud of all of them.

A special thanks to Mr Manny Muscat for coming to school to coach the girls. We really appreciate your time.

I would also like to acknowledge Miss Paola and her commitment to both the girls and boys teams. On behalf of the students and I, thank you. Your passion and knowledge of the game is wonderful and we are very lucky to have you.

Miss Jen

Physical Education Specialist Teacher

Congratulations to Aturo who has been selected as a member of the Rugby Victorian U12’s State Team. It is an amazing achievement and reflects his skills, commitment and dedication to the team and sport.

Aturo will be competing against state teams from throughout Australia this coming school holiday break as part of the Vending First Challenge Cup to be hosted at Sunnybank Rugby Club, Brisbane.

As a school community, we wish him and his team, every success.

This Sunday’s reading is from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew (9:36 – 10:8)

He summoned his twelve disciples, and sent them out.

When Jesus saw the crowds he felt sorry for them because they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to his harvest.’

He summoned his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to cast them out and to cure all kinds of diseases and sickness.

These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, the one who was to betray him. These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them as follows:

‘Do not turn your steps to pagan territory, and do not enter any Samaritan town; go rather to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is close at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils. You received without charge, give without charge.’

The portrait of Jesus that is painted by the gospel of Matthew is as the one who has come to fulfil the Jewish tradition. This is sometimes incorrectly interpreted as being anti-Jewish but that is not the case at all. The community for whom Matthew was writing were Jewish Christians and they saw the pathway taught by Jesus as the best way to live out the Jewish tradition. It is in this context that today’s gospel passage must be considered. The way the commissioning of the Twelve begins is very significant: ‘When Jesus saw the crowds he felt sorry for them because they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd.’ This is the gospel writer describing the people of Israel as a whole – harassed and dejected and without a shepherd. For the Matthew community, Jesus was that shepherd the Jews needed. But Jesus also knew that one person alone could not bring about the change within Judaism that was required. He chose the Twelve and named them as apostles (those who are sent) to continue the work that he had begun.

The gospel writer describes Jesus as giving the apostles ‘authority’ over unclean spirits. For the Matthew community, authority was a defining question. They had recently been expelled from the Jewish synagogues and the authority of Jesus had been called into doubt. Yet, for this community, real authority lay with Jesus and those whom he sent out to do his work.

Throughout this gospel, Jesus is described as exhibiting ‘authority’ so as to reaffirm to the original community that they were right in choosing to follow the way of Jesus and not bend to the authority of the Jewish leaders who were oppressing them.

Scriptural context – The House of Israel

The gospel passage has Jesus telling his newly commissioned apostles to go only to the House of Israel, not to go to Samaritans or into pagan territory; the ministry of the apostles is only to be addressed to Jews. But this is the first part of a two-phase ministry. At the conclusion of the gospel, the Risen Jesus directs his followers to ‘make disciples of all the nations’. For the Matthew community, (unlike the community of Luke) it was the House of Israel that needed renewal first before the message of Jesus could be taken to gentile and pagan communities.

Have you thought? – The labourers are few

This passage is often used as the basis for sermons, conversations or even marketing about vocations – vocations to religious life as well as lay vocations. The image of a rich harvest with not enough labourers to reap the harvest is a powerful one. In the Western world in particular today it is very true of priestly and religious vocations. However, it is equally true of lay vocations. Too few people are prepared to ‘own’ their faith and live the message of the gospel in their day to day work and interactions with others. In what way are you a labourer in the harvest?

Living the Gospel – Apostles, not disciples

There is a lovely distinction in this gospel passage between disciples and apostles. Jesus calls his twelve disciples, commissions them and sends them out to continue his work. From then on, they are referred to as ‘apostles’. Disciples are followers, but apostles have been sent out. In our own lives we are called to accept the challenge of being apostles, not disciples. For we are not just followers, we have been sent out by Jesus to continue his work. To be a disciple is just the first step. Disciples follow a path; apostles take the initiative and forge their own path.

School Shoes: Time To Check The Sizes Before Term 3 Commences

An Australian survey of over 2,000 parents selected at random wanted to know whether the shoes their children were wearing were too big, too small, or just right. The results were more surprising than expected:

18% of children were wearing shoes TWO sizes too small
47% of children were wearing shoe ONE size too small
24% of children were wearing the right size shoe, with no room for growth
11% were wearing the right size shoe with some room for growth

We can’t be too surprised – children grow at the speed of light. Many parents report only getting a couple of months out of their child’s new shoes, especially in those early years. So, before the next school term begins, get into the cupboard and grab those shoes to do your home check. Here are the top things you should look for:

The Heel Fit

While your child is sitting on a chair, put the shoe on and fasten them completely and properly, whether that’s doing up the laces, velcro or other fastening mechanism. Holding their ankle/lower leg in one hand, and the heel of their shoe with another, give the shoe a gentle tug – it should stay firmly in place.

The Top Fit

With your child standing and the fastening done correctly, move your finger around the top of the shoe where it encloses the ankle. You don’t want there to be any gaps, but you also don’t want it to feel too tight to the point that it may rub. Make sure the ankle bones are sitting above the top of the shoe to stop them rubbing.

The Forefoot Width

With your child standing, first, examine the shoe, and then rub your fingers around both the inside and outside of the shoe. You should not see or feel any bumps or areas of pressure that are caused by the toes or the bones of the feet. The widest part of the foot should be at the widest part of the shoe.

The Shoe Depth

Rub your thumb across the top of the shoe. You should feel the fabric move slightly as your thumb moves across it – if it can’t, the shoe may not be deep enough. If you can push the leather material into a ridge, it is too wide. If the shoe is low cut, move your finger across the front ridge and make sure it doesn’t feel too tight, and that the gap isn’t too wide, either.

The Length

Using your thumb at the front of the shoe, check for your child’s longest toe. Remember, this isn’t always their big toe! It’s often their second. Getting your child to wiggle their toes can help. Make sure that the longest toe isn’t right at the very end of the shoe, and you have about a fingers-width available at the end of the shoe. Always check both shoes individually, as one foot is often slightly bigger than the other.

Check The Fastening Mechanism

Velcro – if your child’s shoes have velcro, you want to check that it’s still working well, so it doesn’t loosen and fail to properly support the shoe throughout the day. You also want to make sure that the velcro contact surface isn’t too small that it’s going to easily come off during the day.

Buckle – for shoes with buckles, you should have at least one buckle to move into either side of the hole you are using.

Lace-ups – you should have about a centimetre gap between the eyelet faces.

Visual Check

Finally, have a look at your child walking around in their shoes. Does the heel slip out? Does their ankle feel unstable? Make sure it looks good to you, and ask them about anything you notice.

Time for New Shoes?

If your self-check has revealed that it is very much time for new school shoes, then check for these features in the next pair:

They’re lightweight – pick up each shoe and have a feel of how much they weigh – and get your kids to the same! If they’re feeling a bit heavy, remember that each foot is going to have to lift this weight up with every step your kids take, which is a lot while running and playing!
They have the right amount of flexibility – each shoe is an extension of the foot and its natural movement. Kids tend to have flexible feet, and the shoes should support this movement – not restrict it. The lighter and more flexible, the better! With this said, there are times where we do recommend a firmer shoe. When we’re trying to control the foot because of pain or injury, then it may be best to choose a shoe with a firmer heel counter and less flexibility.
It has a fastening mechanism, not slip-ons – compared to slip-ons, shoes with a fastening mechanism such as velcro or laces provide far greater stability and support for kids’ feet. The more supportive and stable the shoe, the more control over the movement of the foot and ankle within the shoe to reduce the likelihood of injuries such as ankle sprains, as well as facilitate the healthy development of the bones, joints and muscles.
It has a removable, supportive liner – shoes that are designed with removable liners are done so with the various needs of children in mind. They may need orthotics, they may need extra cushioning, they may need an in-shoe solution to help with pain. Companies that recognise this need and go out of their way to create it, usually have a better grasp on the good elements of shoes that we’ve discussed too.
That they’re the right fit! - Don’t forget to always take your child with you to get their shoes, bring the socks that they usually wear to school, and to get their shoes towards the end of the day when feet are at their biggest due to swelling.

And If Any Pains and Niggles Start in The First Week Back of School?

Remember, pain never happens for no reason – it’s our body’s way of telling us that something is wrong or isn’t working quite so well. If returning to school sees your child develop new pains and niggles – or old problems come back, bring them in to see our experienced podiatry team. We’re parents too! We’ll help your child get out of pain – and keep them out of pain for the years and adventures to come.
