COMMISSIONING OF MINI VINNIES TEAM

At our whole school Mass last Thursday, St Ita’s Primary school watched on as over 22 students were commissioned into the Mini Vinnies team. 

We are extremely proud of all of these students and we look forward to seeing some of the amazing work they do. 

We are currently exploring the option of working with other Catholic schools to assist them as they set up similar groups within our Diocese.

POLICE VISIT -CYBER SAFETY

On Friday 21st July, two Officers from Victoria Police met with our Grade 5-6 students to talk about cyber awareness and responsible use of social media. The presentation was very insightful and the children learnt alot about their digital footprint.

FROM CRUSTY TO RUSTY

Last week, young Laken Backman from Grade 2M had to do some running repairs on his BMX bike that he had ridden to school. The running repairs gave me the opportunity to share with Laken some stories of when I was younger and got my first BMX bike. I still remember it like it was yesterday.

I got a Mongoose Motomag similar to the one shown below. My dream in life was to become an original Crusty Demon. We even had our own riding gang called “THEBMXICANS”.

Sadly, I never became a Crusty Demon ☹ I was more of a Rusty Demon than a Crusty Demon.

But as Laken said to me. "Chin up Mr O…once you have it in your blood, you never lose it. It’s just like riding a bike".
