St Joseph's Payneham eNewsletter #12

I am hoping the children have come back from the ‘Winter break’ rejuvenated and ready to embrace learning and new challenges during Term Three.

Why we teach children about keeping safe
We all  have a legal responsibility to protect children and young people from abuse in its own settings and in the wider community. All children and young people have a right to:

• be treated with respect and to be protected from harm
• be asked  for their opinions about things that affect their lives and to be listened to
• feel and be safe in their interactions with adults and other children and young people
• understand as early as possible what is meant by 'feeling and being safe'.

We are very pleased to announce the new dates for the Sacrament of Confirmation.

The STEM Shack is a new initiative that provides students with the opportunity to engage with STEM learning during lunch time. It endeavours to develop students' critical and creative thinking, and collaboration and communication skills as they are challenged to complete open-ended tasks. Can you code a robot to complete a circuit? Can you design and create a free-standing tower? The possibilities are endless! Join the STEM Shack to find out.
