Dear Parents, Carers and Community
Term 3 is traditionally a busy time of the year as we prepare for key events and activities. With so much happening in and around the school in the coming weeks, it is important that all families read the newsletter and check school communication via SkoolBag app to keep up to date. This assists us greatly and ensures that you are informed of what’s happening around the school.
Book Week
Always a highlight of the school calendar, we send a big thank you to our Library Officer, Mrs Leanne Daniels, for her organisation and planning for Book Week. It was wonderful to have so many friends and family members at our annual parade this morning. The sun was shining, and I was blown away by the range of book characters seen across the classes, with many joining in the ‘topsy turvey’ theme. Scroll down to see a snapshot of the amazing creativity of our student costumes, this year.
We were fortunate this week to have Northam based Author/Illustrator Katie Stewart visit our school. Katie provided students with an engaging and interesting discussion about her books and taught the children some new drawing techniques. She also introduced us to her new motto “Be Yourself, and if you can’t be yourself, Be a Wombat”, which the children loved.
Athletics Carnival
As you would be aware from our post on the SkoolBag app, the House Athletics Carnival is confirmed for Friday 2 September and will be held just up the road at Deanmore Square Reserve. The carnival program is being finalised and will be sent via SkoolBag, once all details are confirmed. We look forward to the new location for our carnival and also hope to have time for a few parent races and events. See you there!
Speak Up Preliminary Finals
Congratulations to Harry Lawson, Room 12 on being selected to represent our school at the next stage of the Speak Up competition. His speech on ‘Sharks’ was engaging and captivating for the judges and audience, earning him a spot in the preliminary finals. This is an outstanding achievement, with Harry being the first ever Scarborough student to advance to this stage. All the best, Harry. We are proud of you.
Building for our Future: Update 2
It is an exciting time for Scarborough Primary, as our school site is being adapted to welcome new families and provide for the growth in student numbers. Over the past week you will have noticed that the fences are up, and Devlyn Construction will shortly commence Stage 1a (New Block) at our school. Over the next few weeks, the sports and gardeners’ sheds will be demolished with their contents being stored in the sea container at the fence line.
If you have any queries about this exciting project, please don’t hesitate to call or email Sarah.Dawson@education.wa.edu.au.
Farewell Miss Clark
Finally, on behalf of the school community, I would like to farewell Miss Annie Clark who leaves us today to go on Parental Leave. Annie has been a well-loved teacher at Scarborough for the past nine years, and we wish her all the best on her parenting journey.
As always, if you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to call or email Sarah or you can contact me on christina.vanmaanen@education.wa.edu.au.
Thank you for your ongoing support.
