PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SCHOOL IS CLOSED THIS COMING MONDAY (PUBLIC HOLIDAY)
Dear Parents, Students & Friends,
With this weekend being a long weekend, due to the public holiday on Monday, and Term 2 concluding for students on Wednesday 21st June, there is still much in store for our students to learn and celebrate.
Next Thursday, our Grade 5’s battle it out in this year’s Dance battle competition. We are asking all students and staff to add to the festivity by coming to school with CRAZY hair! Given that there are a few of us with very little hair, wigs are also encouraged. Please bring a gold coin donation.
On the last day of the last week of term, Wednesday 21st June, we celebrate our school’s name day – Resurrection. It’s a jam packed program and a great way to end Term 2.
In last week’s newsletter, we had the opportunity to share with you the learning progress that our students have made since the start of Term 1. This progress is the result of several factors. However, without your encouragement, and support of your child’s learning, such progress would be much slower. On behalf of the staff of Resurrection, we thank you for ensuring that your child reads each night, practices their times tables, shares with you what they are learning, asks them questions that extend upon what they’ve learnt and more importantly, making them feel so loved and cared for.
To our students who have, and continue to receive their First Holy Communion, know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. To the parents of these children, thank you for continuing to support your child’s faith and raise them in the love and way of Christ. The way your child engages and contributes to the school’s culture, ethos and positivity is a reflection of all that you have and continue to teach them.
We wish you a safe and wonderful extended weekend.
With warmest regards,
Des Noack
Principal

PARENT TEACHER LEARNING CONVERSATIONS
Dear Parents and Carers,
Parent Teacher Learning Conversations are due to be held on Tuesday 18th (3:45pm - 8:15pm) and Thursday 20st July (3:45pm - 7:15pm).
These face to face meetings are an important opportunity for you to meet with your child’s teacher and discuss their progress in relation to the curriculum, the Semester One Report and future learning directions.
Once you have made a booking, you will receive a confirmation email indicating the time and date. Please keep this email in order to attend the meeting at your allocated time.
At the end of this newsletter is all the information you require for making a booking for the Parent Teacher Learning Conversations. Bookings are now open and will close on Monday 17th July at 12:00pm.
Please visit the following web address to make your booking:
https://www.schoolinterviews.com.au/code/t2x6n
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.
Important Uniform Information
The following information is provided to clarify the school’s dress code. These items have been implemented to ensure consistency in uniform and address safety matters.
No anklet socks are to be worn with any uniform.
Hair touching shoulders must be tied back with either school coloured scrunchie or hair ties. This applies to both girls and boys.
No coloured nail polish allowed.
Sleepers or stud earrings only.
Skirts and dresses are not to be shorter than just above the knee.
There will be days were the uniform type will be prescribed based on the activities of the day, e.g. Excursion, school photo day, interschool sports, formal presentations.
All This Learning Adds Up!
The results are finally in with a selection of Year Five and Six students taking part in the Computational Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) Competition during term 2.
The Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) competition is a one-hour problem-solving competition designed to encourage student curiosity and promote multiple modes of thinking.
Whilst students did not need computer programming ability, the competition helps identify students’ computer programming potential.
The competition encouraged students to solve real-world problems whilst helping students become more confident as they take on interesting new challenges.
Well done to all competitors!
Concerns Regarding Student Use Of Social Media Sites & Apps That Are Impacting Upon Positive Relationships
Dear Parents & Guardians,
Recently we have heard that a number of students are using the online platform Discord. The e-safety commissioner website states the following about Discord:
“Discord is a social chat platform commonly used by online gamers that is available on computers and mobile devices, and accessible via a web browser. It lets you create a profile and interact with other users via online messaging, voice or video chat. You can share images, files and links to other services. The paid subscription option lets you upload larger file sizes, gives additional options for appearance customisation, and provides higher quality audio for voice chat.
Initially designed for the gaming community, Discord now hosts servers on a wide variety of interests. Once you have created a profile you can join servers based on your interests or create your own server and invite people to join. Servers are broken down into specific topics known as channels which can be flagged as NSFW (Not Safe For Work), meaning not safe to be viewed at work. For NSFW channels a user must click a button to indicate that they are over 18 before entering the chat. https://www.esafety.gov.au/key-issues/esafety-guide/discord “
The minimum age for a user on Discord is 13 + therefore, students in primary school shouldn’t be using this app without parental supervision.
It is worth considering that the meaning for the word Discord is “lack of agreement or harmony (as between persons, things, or ideas)” this is something that the app is known for where people can disagree and provoke conflict.
Here at Resurrection, we have certainly noted that conversations, videos, etc. that have been shared on Discord by students when at home, have been impacting on the friendships at school. If your child uses Discord, we encourage you to supervise who they are using the app with and the types of messages/images they are sending and receiving.
Regards,
Mrs Jess Davis

Regarding Footwear
The following is why the school places such importance on the wearing of correct school shoes.
Our children spend 30 hours a week in school shoes, that's in excess of 15 000 hours in a school child’s lifetime. Choosing the right shoe for your child is extremely important.
Shoes that fit are vital to a young child's rapidly growing feet. By the time a child reaches the age of 12, their feet will have reached about 90 percent of their adult length. Therefore, development of a child's feet is especially important in these first 12 years of life and it is the reason podiatrists consider the early years to be essential in the development of feet and foot problems.
Children who continuously wear incorrect shoes can develop many problems in later life and exacerbate inherited foot problems.
Common problems such as hammer toes, caused by shoes which are too big or too small, ingrown toenails, cracked or fissured heels from continued use of sling back shoes, and corns under the toe nails can be prevented by selecting the right shoe.
What type of shoe should I buy?
Traditional school shoes are the best option for putting your children in good stead. Not only are they likely to outlast sports shoes, but also will provide the support so crucial to young feet.
Sports shoes are marketed so extensively; children can be under a lot of peer pressure to wear the most expensive brand sports shoes. At the other end of the scale, many parents view cheap sports shoes as an alternative to traditional school shoes. But, as the name suggests, sports shoes are best left for sporting activities.
Not only are sports shoes unnecessary for children in their everyday school activities, but also some of the cheaper brands offer little in the way of support.
What should the shoe be made of?
Podiatrists recommend professionally fitted supportive, lace-up, leather shoes as the best option for school footwear. Leather offers durability, is easy to clean and allows feet to breathe.
Many sports shoes, on the other hand, have a high synthetic quantity that can produce a hot, moist environment. This creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and fungus that can lead to tinea, infected nails and foot odour.
These are acceptable because:
100% leather
Velcro or laces ok
100% black, no white or coloured highlights
These are not acceptable because:
Fabric and/or polyester panels
White highlights
How long should the shoes last?
Children grow at different speeds and wear shoes down at different rates. But there are some important things to do once you have selected the right shoe.
First, ensure you check the fit regularly. Children's feet grow quickly and, since shoes up to two sizes too small may not cause a lot of discomfort for the child, you may not even be aware a new pair is needed.
It is also important to regularly check the shoe for wear. Shoes that are worn down badly can cause as many problems to a child's feet as ill-fitting shoes.
So get your children off on the right foot with a good pair of shoes.
When Are Sports Shoes Worn?
Sport shoes are to be worn only on days that the physical education classes occur or when the student is wearing their sports uniform for interschool sports or competition.
New Look To School Administration Building
This coming weekend, weather dependant, the outside walls of the school administration entrance are being rendered in readiness for our school’s logo. Immediately to the left and right of the entry door, our school values Faith, Diversity, Care Education, along with our school motto of “We Care” will be installed as signage and a reminder of what we stand for. The colour of the render will tie into the dark brown of the poles and down pipes around the buildings.
Shade Sails To Be Installed in the Coming Weeks
New shade sails are being installed at the back of the school to provide additional learning areas and utilise the beautiful gardens we have that are currently underutilised.
The shade sails will make a huge improvement to the Prep Discovery Learning Centre being constructed later this year.
Grade 5 Dance Battle
Next Wednesday the 14th of June all of our Grade 5 students will be presenting a 'Dance Battle' performance featuring all students in 5A, 5B & 5C. Each class will perform a choreographed dance routine that they have put together during Performing Arts lessons this term. There will also be a dance battle between some individual Grade 5 students.
All classes from Grades Prep, 1, 2, 3 & 4 will be attending the event. Parents are also most welcome to come along to the performance and cheer on the Grade 5 students! Please note that no video filming or photography of the event is permitted. The school will be taking some photos of the event using the school camera to share with families in the newsletter and on Seesaw.
On Wednesday, Grade 5 students are asked to bring to school a colourful t-shirt, long pants (comfortable for dancing) and runners to change into just before the performance begins.
The Dance Battle will be held in the school hall from 12.00pm-1.00pm and will be judged by using an 'applause meter' app which measures the volume of an audience's applause after a performance. The winning class will be announced at the end of all of the performances, with the winning class receiving a trophy to display in their classroom!!!
Addressing Concerns When Concerns Arise
Schools are very busy places - there are lots of things that happen, and there are many decisions made every day.
At the same time, the community is quite diverse, with many individuals or groups having vastly different opinions on how things should be done.
It is inevitable, therefore, that times will arise when some parents agree with the school’s actions while others disagree and wish to discuss the matter with the school.
We welcome such discussions, and encourage parents to raise issues so that they may be dealt with speedily and resolved to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Complaints, after all, are not a negative experience – so long as they are dealt with positively by everybody.
The following process for presenting and managing community complaints or concerns has been developed over time in consultation with the community.
We believe it works well, and it is the way we will manage all complaints at our school.
THINGS TO ALWAYS REMEMBER
Problems are best resolved using a positive attitude. Anger is usually counter-productive to solving problems.
People need time to investigate and resolve many problems; a quick fix is not always possible or desirable.
Schools are large and complex – very few decisions will suit everybody.
There are always at least 2 sides to every story – with students there are often as many stories as there are children.
Not all disagreements can be resolved – sometimes we simply have to agree to disagree.
Opinions vary widely – disagreement is a natural part of life.
Everybody is doing what they believe is right, even if it’s different to what we think.
AGREED COMPLAINTS PROCESS
The following procedures are to be used to resolve complaints or concerns at our school.
STEP 1
Try and find out the facts. This may require you talking to your child’s teacher. Many concerns are quickly resolved once the parent is aware of all the facts.
STEP 2
Let the school know via letter, telephone or in person that you have a concern, providing details of the issue.
STEP 3
The school WILL investigate the concern and the most appropriate person will contact you to discuss the matter, or to organize a meeting. Almost 100% of problems are resolved by this point
STEP 4
If, however, the matter remains unresolved, make a formal appointment to discuss the issue with the Principal.
STEP 5
The Regional Office can be contacted to help solve problems. The principal can provide contact details.
This Sunday’s reading is from the Holy Gospel according to John (6:51-58)
My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
Jesus said to the Jews:
‘I am the living bread which has come down from heaven.
Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world.’
Then the Jews started arguing with one another: ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ they said. Jesus replied:
‘I tell you most solemnly, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood
lives in me and I live in him.
As I, who am sent by the living Father, myself draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will draw life from me.
This is the bread come down from heaven;
not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead, but anyone who eats this bread will live for ever.’
The feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, also known as Corpus Christi, celebrates and commemorates the institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper. Although the liturgy on Holy Thursday remembers the celebration of the Last Supper, its focus tends to be more aligned with the events of the Passion rather than on the institution of the Eucharist. In the 13th Century, Pope Urban IV established the feast of Corpus Christi (the Body of Christ) and it was St Thomas Aquinas who composed the official prayers of the Church for the feast day. In 1970 the feast was changed to the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. In some countries it is celebrated on the Thursday following Trinity Sunday and in others on the following Sunday.
The gospel passage comes from the 6th chapter of the gospel of John in which the gospel writer has Jesus deliver an extended discourse on the image of himself as the Bread of Life. This passage comes from the end of that discourse and, in this relatively short passage, Jesus repeatedly demands that his followers must eat his flesh and drink his blood. It is through these actions that his followers will share in eternal life. Jesus says that whoever does this will live in him and he will live in them. That is one of the fundamental beliefs about the Eucharist. When we receive the body and blood of Jesus in the Eucharist we become what we receive – we become Christ’s body in the world. When Jesus called his disciples, he called them to be like himself. He reissues that call to be like him every time we receive his body and blood in Eucharist.
Scriptural context – Eucharist in Scripture
The gospel of John does not include any account of Jesus taking bread and wine and urging the disciples to ‘do this in memory of me’. The three synoptic gospels, however, all feature these actions and words, as does Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, which predates all of the gospels. Rather than using these words of institution, the gospel of John includes an entire chapter much earlier in the gospel in which Jesus theologises about the image of himself as the Bread of Life. It is this discourse, more than the Last Supper accounts, that provides much of the theological understanding of Eucharist.
Living the Gospel
Meals are very important events. Not only do we physically need food and drink to keep ourselves alive, but we use meals to mark occasions and celebrate events: birthdays; weddings; dates; achievements; disappointments; reunions. There is a sacredness about gathering with friends and family and sharing a meal together. Stories are told; memories shared; the food is appreciated and more often than not there’s a drink to accompany the meal. Treating such occasions with gratitude – as blessed moments of grace – is living out the Eucharistic reality of welcoming Jesus into our lives and seeking to be more like him.
Gospel Focus – Real Presence
In the gospel passage, Jesus speaks a number of times about his followers eating his flesh and drinking his blood; ‘For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.’ In the Eucharist, we celebrate the ‘real presence’ of Jesus, understanding that bread and wine is changed into the body and blood of Christ. This change does not occur in a physical, observable way. The Church teaches that the ‘substance’ of bread and wine (what makes them bread and wine in essence) is changed but not the physical attributes. This is known as ‘transubstantiation’ – change of substance.
