Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Education Week- Every Student Every

Voice

Welcome back to our families for the start

of Term 3. We are already in Week 3 of

the term and this week we are celebrating

Education Week. The theme this year is

‘Every Student Every Voice’. This year the

South Coast Learning Community are

hosting an Art Show at the Civic Centre in

Bega until Friday afternoon. A selection of

students’ artwork will be displayed in the

Centre and will also be displayed around

the school. You are encouraged to attend

the Art Show to vote for the People’s

Choice Award.

National Science Week

Next week, Week 4, it is National Science

Week. Destination Moon: more missions,

more science is the school theme for this

year. This theme is a way for teachers and

their students to discover past missions to

the Moon and space programs that have

solved some of the seemingly unsolvable

problems—and current and future space

programs, operations and missions.

Students will be participating in activities

related to the theme throughout next

week.

STEM- Project Fire Storm

This term Mrs Collins is implementing a

STEM project in collaboration with the

local Rural Fire Brigade and the Bournda

Environmental Education Centre called

Project Fire Storm. The project relates and

connects to the fires that Bemboka

experienced last year and other significant

bush fire events. Last week students

participated in an introductory activity

where they rotated between the 3 classes in

groups to participate in different activities.

Students watched a documentary about

shed to participate in discussions about what

happens at the shed. As the project progresses,

students will be asked to select an interest

group of either Prepare, Survive or Recover

where they will be required to work as a team

to design something related to their theme.

Zone Athletics Carnival

The Zone Athletics Carnival will be held in

Bega on Friday August 16. We have 6 students

who successfully made it to Zone. They have

received information related to the events they

are participating in. Congratulations!

Soccer Match

On Friday August 23 our school soccer team

will playing against Candelo PS at Colombo

Park, Bemboka from 1pm. This is a friendly

game and parents are welcome to come down

and support our team.

Bottles/Cans Needed for Fundraising

We are still in need of eligible bottles and cans

for the Return and Earn initiative. By

providing bottles/cans to the school you are

helping immensely with school excursion costs

and other programs. The money we gain from

the bottles goes directly to students. Please

place them in a bag/box and leave them in the

nominated yellow bin at the front gates.

Yours in Education,

Miss Claire Morgan.
