On Friday the 12th of April, the Year Fours performed the Holy Week Assembly.
This is our final opportunity to gather as a school before the holidays and Easter break and is a special time to reflect and prepare for the coming of Jesus.

Dear Parents
We are thinking of you and wishing you all the very best for the coming school holiday break. Thank you for your much appreciated support of staff, children and other families throughout the term. Every kind word, every generous offer, every time you have withheld judgement and given others the benefit of the doubt, every smile, every prayer prayed … it all helps to build our community up and keep it strong.
We pray that this Easter will be a wonderful opportunity for us all to reconnect with our loved ones, to reassess and re-prioritise our lives. And may our Lord of Easter Promise, continue to guide us all in the way of love, hope, justice, peace and reconciliation in our daily lives. May the way we choose to live be GOOD NEWS to all we meet.
All the very best and see you in two weeks!
Our school bushland is enjoyed by our students and of great aesthetic value to our school environment. Mrs Cogger enjoys taking the students to the ‘bush classroom’ each term for various activities.
Unfortunately many years ago we found out that the trees had ‘dieback disease’. Since then we have embarked on an injection program every few years. In 2013 the Dieback Working Group came to the school and supervised the students with the injection program and provided all the materials and phosphate. Here is a photo of Alyssa and Bayley from Year 6 2013.
The next time the the trees were due to be treated was in 2016 and we had the help of Conservation Volunteers WA. Here is a photo of the team.
The trees in our bushland are due to be treated again. This is high priority if we have any chance of saving the most vulnerable species like the Banksias. As well as other species like Sheoak, Macrozamia, grass trees etc. Our bushland is also home to a family of Southern Boobook Owls, a Southern Brown Bandicoot, a Bobtail Goanna and other native species.
We have a BUSY BEE planned for Saturday 4th May commencing at 8am. Mrs Cogger would like to invite you to help ‘save our bushland’ by assisting with the injection program on Saturday morning. Chris (father of Kadyn Year 6 and Kiara Year 3) has kindly offered to hire the gear from Murdoch University and instruct us on how to inject the trees with phosphate. All we need now is a team of committed parents to assist us on the day. BYO drill, rubber gloves and goggles if you have any.
If you have would like to volunteer your time please register via this link

If yo ave any questions about the dieback injector program please contact Mrs Cogger or Mr Munro.
Once our trees have been treated we will be able to commence our replanting program with the grant funds recently received from Woolworths Junior Landcare.
In anticipation of a productive BUSY BEE…
At St Emilie’s, we are spending the first three terms learning all about our school’s history. – Luke

We had two interview days. The first was for people who work here now and the second was for people who have played a role at St Emilie’s in the past. – Lara
On Friday the 5th of April we gave our special guests a tour of the school, to help them see how it has changed dramatically over time. – Sarah
We have learnt a lot from our guests and we thank them for making the time to come in and be interviewed. – Maria
This is all part of our big enrichment project and we can’t wait to share our interviews as well as some other special work at the Term Three Open Night Expo!

On Thursday the 4th April, St.Emilie’s took along a squad of 30 swimmers to compete in the Inter-School carnival held at Aqualife Aquatic centre in Victoria Park.
The cool breeze and weather provided challenging conditions for the children, however this did not stop us from achieving our best ever result at an Inter-School Swimming carnival.
The children should be very proud of their efforts. Many of them attending early morning training sessions throughout the term and showing great commitment to get the best out of themselves.
Our Year 4, 5 and 6 classes all performed very consistently throughout the day. On top of this, we had some Outstanding individual performances.
Nathanael was awarded the year 4 Champion Swimmer, Jessica was awarded the Open 100m Freestyle Gold Medal and was the Runner Up Champion Swimmer overall. Rory was also awarded the Runner Up Champion Swimmer for Year 6.
Final Scores were as follows:
