This award was proudly presented to Miss Stephens for demonstrating the "Aussie of the Month" program key principals in her role as soccer coach.  Principles demonstrated are inclusion, respect and mateship.

Everyone loses things now and then, however the Lost Property boxes are overflowing with unnamed jumpers, jackets, shirts, hats and drink bottles.  When students lose something, they can go to the Makuru block wet area, near room 2, and look for the item in the Lost and Found.

Putting names on jackets, hats, and other personal possessions will make it easy to return them to students.  Items that are not needed for school, especially valuable ones, are best left at home.

Please note; all items remaining in the Lost Property boxes on the last day of this term will be disposed of.

Today volunteers Christelle, Maddie and James from the Joondalup SES branch visited room 11. The students were exposed to a wealth of information about who the SES are, what they aim to achieve and how they endeavour to help in our community. In line with our studies in Civics and Citizenship, students will soon begin presenting researched information about one of the many volunteer agencies in greater WA.

Ella has been selected in the Calisthenics Association of Western Australia’s (CAWA) State Team to compete in the Australian Calisthenic Federation’s Livestreamed National Championships this month.

Congratulations on your success Ella.  We wish you all the best at the Championships.

If your child is unwell with cold and flu symptoms, please keep them at home and consider checking in with your GP if symptoms don't resolve

As directed by our guidelines, we will ask for your child to be collected if they are displaying cold symptoms such as a cough, runny nose, fever etc. 

We have a student at school who is immunocompromised.  This means they can potentially become gravely ill even when contracting a common cold/virus.  Please be mindful of sending students to school when they are unwell, as they may spread their infection.  Please speak with your GP/health professional and see the information in the links above re: advice about keeping your child at home when unwell.

My name is Obang Girma, I love children, I am a father of four including twins. I am passionate about working in a school environment where I can be part of the children’s journey. I’m excited to be working as a chaplain both in Glengarry Primary School and Warriapendi Primary School.

Before my new role as a School Chaplain, I worked with the Edmund Rice Centre, Mirrabooka where I had the opportunity to experience helping social workers in schools such as Koondoola and Thornlie with a variety of roles including Outside School Hours’ Care (OSHC).  I also worked at YMCA WA as an OSHC Educator and at different schools such as St Denis, Joan Watters and Lake Gwelup before I commenced my new role as chaplain.  I am looking forward to working in harmony with all the staff, students and parents in my two new schools.
