Wonder of Living Night - Open Doors
Thank you to our 5 /6 families that attended the wonder of living night. It was great to see families having open and supportive conversations with their child about growing up and the changes that they will experience as part of this journey. We hope this experience encourages families to continue to have these conversations with their children. If you missed any leaflets from the session, please see your child's classroom teacher for a copy.

Student Leader News
The SMDP Leadership team proudly presents to our school, Green Week!
As Social Justice & Sustainability leaders, we are both passionate about our environment and we want to help our school to become a better environmentally friendly school!
In order to do this, we have designed new solutions like, new BINS! Another idea (with help of the school captains and school leaders) has been to introduce GREEN week! Green week is an event that will take place during week 5!
At the end of each day that week, we will introduce new GREEN challenges! These WILL make our school environmentally friendly and reduce our global footprint starting with small actions that can soon become BIG!
GREEN week will include challenges like rubbish clean ups! We can’t wait to share more information with you soon!
