Student Success:
We have had lots of student success over the past two weeks. Congratulations to our swimmers who competed at the regional carnival. Layla and Liam will now compete at the state championships. Lottie and Sonny just missed out on qualifying for the state carnival. A fantastic result!
All students participated in Clean Up Australia Day last week and learnt about how to help our environment during the week. The day was a great success. (Link to photos)
Congratulations to Ruby who has qualified for the regional netball trials, Charlie and Jayarna who qualified for the regional touch trials, and Malachi who has qualified for the regional basketball trials. Fantastic sports in our school!
Year 6 attended the Young Leaders Day in Sydney last week and had an amazing day listening to inspiring speakers on how to be a great leader. All students were great ambassadors for our school.
Mural:
Our Aboriginal mural is now complete and hanging in our playground. It looks absolutely wonderful and the students are enjoying looking at the design and discussing the meaning of the images. (Link to photos)
Canteen upgrade:
We are lucky enough to be having our canteen fully upgraded in the school holidays. The canteen will have new counters, cabinetry and counter shutters installed. As a result, the canteen will not be open on the last day of this term and during the first week of next term.
Year 4 and 6 Check In Assessment:
Our Year 4 and 6 students will complete the Check In Assessment for literacy and numeracy next week. This assessment is a great way for students and teachers to see how students are progressing and plan for how to support their learning in the future. The assessment is conducted online.
Mini Swimming Carnival:
A reminder that our mini swimming carnival for year 3 – 6 is coming up later this term. This carnival is for everyone and a great way for students to participate and earn house points for their house. Please return permission notes as they are now overdue.
COVID:
There continues to be a significant number of covid cases in our school community. Please continue to be safe, RAT test when needed and report all cases to NSW Health.
Term 2 Staff Development Day Reminder:
A reminder that there will be TWO Staff Development Days at the beginning of next term for our school- Tuesday 26 April and Wednesday 27 April. There will be no classes for students on these days. This is so teachers can participate in training with the University of NSW in catering for students who are gifted and have high potential. Our OoSHC will be open for student bookings.
