The Market is a huge credit to the Monash community, and relies on the support of families, staff and children to make it happen. This year, we had 80% of families and 100% of staff involved in the Market through co-ordinating or working on a stall, helping with setup and pack up, donating items, and organisation in the months and days leading up to the event. Initial calculations point to crowd numbers and profits similar to last year. Final profits are still being calculated, and will be announced in the next newsletter.

MESSAGE FROM NATALIE BROCK
(STUDENT WELLBEING LEADER)
What a fabulous day it was for our MMM on Sunday. The KidsMatter Student Team had there first stall at the market this year selling sensory playdough, which included oils to lower stress and to calm. Children were invited to come into the area to play with sensory playdough at any time. Mr Jarrod Kilsby from Barmera Primary came along to the market and set up a drumbeat circle next to the KidsMatter Student stall. It was great to join in with that too and anyone who wanted to have a play could sit down and have a go.
Every burger comes with an ice-cream sundae with warm chocolate topping and sprinkles.

Developing ‘Social and Emotional Learners’
at Monash Primary & Preschool
The Kilsby/Vlass 6/7 class conducted role plays in their Assembly week that offered people strategies/rules for how to engage in positive play. We made sure that we included relevant examples in our role plays.
Monday’s rule: Treat others the way you’d like to be treated. This rule is simple. It is about your words and actions towards others. Ask yourself this. If people treated you the same way you treat them, do you think you would be treated respectfully?
This is powerful thinking, that empowers you to treat others kindly and respectfully.
This photo below shows some students were playing handball. When doing this role play, one of the students that were playing invited over a student who had no one to play with. That student, found it hard to respect the rules of the game and manage their emotions when they got out. The students maintained treating the student kindly, until the student changed their behaviour.
Tuesday’s rule: Have reasons for the things you say and do. All the things we say to people throughout our day are for a purpose, to communicate effectively, to learn. In the yard, our words and actions are for the purpose of playing a game, or positive interactions with our friends.
Everything you say, should be for a good reason. You might have heard something out in the yard that wasn’t kind. I wonder if the person had a good reason to make that comment. I doubt that they did.
This photo shows some students skipping. When doing this role play, some of the students were treating the student who was not as competent with the skipping rope, unkindly and disrespectfully. They made fun of how they skipped. This was clearly outlining that these students had no good reasons for what they were doing. Another student, saw that this student was having trouble and went over to help them, demonstrating good reasons for the things she was saying and doing.
Wednesday’s rule: Understand Equality vs Fairness. Often you might hear these words when you are playing out in the yard… It’s not fair! Hmmm… I wonder if it is fair? Often people feeling like they haven’t been treated fairly is what causes some problems when people are trying to play positively. Our ‘Fairness’ Role Play
(Students come in from lunch, the four of them seem quite injured). Teacher: Emily, you look like you are in pain, what happened to you? Emily: I fell over when I was running and scraped my knee.. Teacher: That’s no good. Here is a bandaid. Teacher: Raine, you look like you are in pain, what happened to you? Raine: I fell off the flying fox and sprained my ankle.. Teacher: That’s no good. Here is a bandaid. Teacher: Nadine, you look like you are in pain, what happened to you? Nadine: I was playing soccer and I broke my arm! Teacher: That’s no good. Here is a bandaid. Teacher: Melody, you look like you are in pain, what happened to you? Melody: I fell off of the playground and broke my leg in two! Teacher: That’s no good. Here is a bandaid. Melody: A bandaid?! That’s not fair. Teacher: Life’s not fair. Melody: No, but My leg was chopped in two, and I got the same sized bandage as the student who scraped her knee. Teacher: You’re right. It wasn’t fair. If it was fair I would have given you a much larger bandage than everyone else. I did show equality though, giving the same thing to everyone. Melody: Equality seems important, but we aren’t ALL the same. Everyone has different needs. Teacher: Correct. Everyone in this school is a social and emotional learner, but some students are more resilient than others. Some students manage their emotions better than others, and some students play more positively than others. Therefore, we need to understand that fairness means that sometimes we have to support each other with different things, and some people need more support. Equality can’t always be shown.

State SAPSASA Netball Congratulations to Emily who has been selected in the Division 1 Riverland SAPSASA Netball team to play in the State Carnival in Adelaide. The Carnival will be held in Week 8 of this term (June 17th-June 20th). This is the sec-ond year in a row that Emily has been selected for this team which is a fantastic achievement. This will be a
great opportunity and experience for her and we wish Emily all the best for the Carnival. Jimmy Vlassopoulos
State SAPSASA Athletics On Sunday, May 19th and Monday, May 20th, 3 students from Monash Primary School represented the Riverland at the State SAPSASA Athletics Carnival which was held at the SA Athletics Stadium, Mile End in Adelaide. The students were: Brayden P- Came 2nd out of 6 in his 100m heat and then finished 6th out of 8 in the final. He was part of the 4x100m relay team which came 1st out of 8 in their heat and then finished 1st out of 8 in the final for the 12 year old boys division.
Zach- Was part of the 10 year old boys 4x100m relay team which finished 5th out of 7 in their heat (they did not make the final).
Cooper- Ran a personal best time in the 1500m event, he was competing in the 10 year old boys division (his event was on Sunday, May 19th).
Well done to the 3 students who represented our school at this Carnival. Overall, the Riverland finished 3rd out of 21 country regions which is a fantastic effort. Jimmy Vlassopoulos
West Adelaide Football Club Visits 6/7 Classes On Friday, May 24th, Andrew Marks and Paul Streatfield from the West Adelaide Football Club and Nick Dillon from the SANFL visited our Year 6/7 classes. The visit was broken up into two parts. The first part was a theory lesson on ‘It taking more than talent’. The key message students received from this was that to be successful in life, you need to work hard and that natural ability would only get you so far. The second part was a practical lesson, where students were taught the fundamental skills to play AFL Football (kicking, handballing etc.). The students thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and gained a lot from them. A big thank you to Nick, Andrew and Paul for taking the time out of
their busy schedules to visit our school to conduct these sessions for our students.
SAPSASA Cross Country On Wednesday, May 22nd, 14 students from Monash Primary School participated in the Riverland SAPSASA Cross Coun-try Carnival, which was held at Martins Bend in Berri. The 10 year olds were required to run 2km and the 11, 12 & 13 year olds 3km. There were between 15-30 competitors in each race. The students who participated in the Carnival were:
10 year old boys- Cooper S, Jake S, Dillon M, Cody B, Kieran S, Zach H & Lincoln B
11 year old boys- Max A & Oscar M
11 year old girls- Emily R
12 year old boys- Noah M, Brayden P, Mitchell C & Dimitri H
13 year old boys- Lachlan M & Noah B
All students ran very well considering a number of them have had limited experience running long distances competitively. We had a few students place in the top 10 in their respective races:
Lachlan M 1st in the 13 year old boys event
Noah B 2nd in the 13 year old boys event (Noah was sick on the day of Cross Country, but was allowed to run the track last Friday. The time that he ran was the 2nd fastest for the 13 year old boys.)
Dillon M 3rd in the 10 year old boys event
Emily R 7th in the 11 year old girls event
Oscar M 8th in the 11 year old boys event
Congratulations to Lachlan M, Noah B & Dillon M who have been selected to represent the Riverland at the State SAPSASA Cross Country Carnival in Adelaide on Thursday, June 6th.
It was also great to see so many of our students supporting and encouraging their teammates on the day.
A big thank you to all parents who volunteered to transport students to the Carnival. This event would not have been possible without your contribution and commitment to the school community.
