looking for volunteers to support them. Please let
the office staff know if you can assist. The ultimate
goal for all their current fundraising is the
gymnasium.
NAPLAN
Our year 3 and 5 students have now completed the
online NAPLAN testing. Results will be back in the

policy for our school and as such all families are

FAT IN FOODS You may not think you eat too much fat, because much of it is hidden in meals we prepare or buy and in foods like cakes, pastries, biscuits, chips and sauces. Because you can't see it, you don't know how much fat you are eating or what type it is. These diagrams show how much fat or sugar is hidden in certain foods and how you can make meals that are traditionally high in fat healthier. A teaspoon of fat (yellow) contains 4 grams of fat. A teaspoon of sugar (white) contains 4 grams of fat.
WINTER WORKOUT TIPS
With the cold weather now setting in, it is often more tempting to stay indoors than brave the outside and exercise. But it is just as important to exercise and be active in winter as it is in warmer times. Keeping your family active over winter can lead to a stronger immune system, making you less likely to catch colds and flu. And being outdoors in the fresh air (no matter how cold the air is!) also means you are not breathing in as much ‘indoor air’ which may be contaminated with colds and flu.
You should feel warmer and reenergised after exercise as well! So what are you waiting for (summer is 7 months away still!!).
Grab a coat, hat and warm shoes and head out for a family walk or other type of physical activity.
Remember these exercise tips during winter.
Warm up - Cold temperatures can make your muscles tight and prone to injury. Make sure you do a thorough warm-up prior to your exercise. (eg. jogging on the spot or some star jumps)
Insulate your body – If exercising outdoors, wear layers of clothing. Layering provides the most effective heating method and allows you to remove the top layer if you get too hot.
Drink up - It's just as important to stay hydrated when exercising in winter as it is in summer, even though you might not feel as thirsty.
Wear sunscreen – You can still get burnt in winter, so if you are exercising outdoors slip, slop and slap.
