Year 3/4 Camp

I had the pleasure of attending the year 3/4 Camp with the students along with Mrs Puie, Mrs Irwin and Mrs Pippia. We had the opportunity to see some amazing

things at both Sea Life and Australia Zoo and I am sure that the students came away from this camp with lots of new facts and information about animals and conservation.

One of the highlights of the camp for me was to hear the comment from our guide at Sea Life say that, ‘Students like you, make me enjoy my job.’ This was a wonderful comment to hear and shows just how amazing Sharon kids are. A huge thank you to Mrs Irwin, Mrs Puie and Mrs Pippia for your hard work in the lead up to and during the camp. As well as Mrs Stapleton for your help with the organisation.

Parent Teacher Interviews

In the first few weeks of Term 4 you will have the opportunity to take part in Parent Teacher Interviews. Your class teacher will send out information for how this will work early next term. I would encourage you to take the opportunity to talk with your child’s teacher and see how they are progressing.

On Tuesday we had a visit from Ruben the Surfing Scientist. He ran two sessions with the students in the afternoon and then a session with the teachers after school.

The students had an absolutely fabulous time and there was loads of laughter.
