Dear St. Clare’s Community,
Welcome to the final week of Term 2. With the break almost upon us, I hope you have the opportunity to spend time as a family.
We were very lucky with the sunshine for our Athletics Carnival. It was fantastic to see the students get involved with great sportsmanship and huge smiles across the carnival. Congratulations to all students that participated in the carnival, and special mention to Woomera for taking out the cup this year. A huge thanks to Mrs Chappel for overseeing the event this year - well done on a great carnival. Thank you very much to all the staff for making sure the carnival ran smoothly and for giving the extra time required to make days like this happen.
100 Days of Learning
This year we will once again celebrate 100 Days of Learning with buddy class activities and a dress up day on Thursday 17th July (Week 1). Students are invited to come dressed in anything that can be counted to 100 or as a 100 year old.
Blessings for a happy and safe break over the coming weeks

Faith Knowledge Community Respect
Congratulations to the children who recently received the sacraments of Reconciliation, Confirmation and Communion. The children approached all their preparation with much maturity, reverence and curiosity to learn more about their faith, and are to be commended on their efforts.
May the peace of Christ fill their hearts today and always.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated, and the regular parishioners love to see children helping out in mass.
B Kinder Day
On the last day of school (Friday June 27), St Clare’s will be participating in B Kinder Day. This day is named after a 12 year old girl (Billie Kinder) who was tragically killed in an accident in 2016. Her parents have since set up a foundation in her memory with the aim to spread the message of kindness around the world. Students are encouraged to come to school in free dress on this day and think of ways that they can show kindness to others, at school and home, throughout the day. What a great way to end the term!

One of the things that we love about The Resilience Project at St Clare’s are GEM Chats! GEM Chats are prompted around the idea of expressing examples of Gratitude, Empathy or Mindfulness in our daily life and encourages us to think about what we have to be happy about!
Gaming
Many young people enjoy online gaming – from simple puzzle-based play through to strategic multiplayer games and creating their own virtual worlds.
Gaming can help improve your child’s coordination, problem-solving and multi-tasking skills, as well as build social skills through online interactivity with other players. Games can also be a great way to connect with your child and strengthen family relationships. But it’s also important to understand what can go wrong and how to keep your child safe. Please check our esafety’s guide on how to keep kids safe when gaming.
Representative Sport
Congratulations to the following students who have recently been selected in representative sports:
Southern Zone Cassowary Coast Cricket - Declan Lizzio, Jaxon Lizzio, Kade Murphy, Kace Hodgson, Henry Robertson
Peninsula Touch Football - Kade Murphy
Peninsula Softball - Blaise Kleinhans & Shiloh Spencer
Athletics
Our annual Athletics Carnival was a great success! It is always such a pleasure to watch the enthusiasm and resilience of the St Clare’s children on days like this. Most importantly, it is wonderful to see house spirit alive and well in the war cry chants, ball games, and even a house dance off. Thank you to the many staff and parents who assisted us in any way in running a smooth carnival.
Discus trials will be held in PE lessons next week. If your child is aged 9-12 years and placed in any of our events, they will have the opportunity to compete at the Southern Zone Cassowary Coast trials. This will be held on Wednesday August 6 after school at Tully State High School (800m and discus) and on Friday August 8 at Lower Tully State School (all other track and field events). Parent Slips (and further information) will be sent out for eligible children early next term.
