My School RulesWe are very pleased to have so many very talented students in our school. Recently, some of our Year Six students competed in “My School Rules” – an academic contest between local primary Schools. On the 15th of August our girls’ team competed against the brightest students from High Wycombe and Forrestfield, coming in second. The following week, the 22nd August, our boys’ team competed against students from Edney and Wattle Grove. The boys tied for first place with Wattle Grove – losing the tiebreaker but once again showing that this small school can compete with the big schools. We were all very proud of the efforts of Rachel, Kyra, Katrina, Alex, Shun and Jesse.

Running Club ReturnsOur school is very keen to encourage student health and wellbeing. One of the ways we do that is through providing students with opportunities to improve their physical fitness. Over the winter months we ran Boot Camp in the mornings for the students in the covered assembly area to ensure weather did not interfere.Now that the weather is warming up, we will return to running club every Monday and Thursday morning at 8.30am. All parents/carers are encouraged to join us on the oval; running, walking and enjoying being active outside.

Sun SafeWith the return of the warmer weather comes an increase in UV radiation – even on cloudy days. We use the free app from the Cancer Council to advise students when hats and other sun protection is required. We need our parents and carers to support us by ensuring students have a broad-brimmed or bucket hat to keep them safe.

We held a lockdown drill this week. While it was only a rehearsal we were very proud of the students and staff who acted quickly and competently to keep our students safe. We practice these drills each term to ensure we keep our school as safe as possible

Awesome ArtI hope all parents and carers took the opportunity to look at the amazing art our students displayed at the shopping centre this week. Our Visual Arts program is second to none.
