Room 1 - Year 5/6
Inspired by themes of inclusivity, diversity and sportsmanship, Room 1's assembly joined the giant wave of hype with a performance based on the Women's Soccer World Cup. Like a shot on goal by Sam Kerr, our performance was perfectly placed between the semi finals and the final.
Our commentators began with a recap of the world cup so far which featured posters created in class for each of the 32 teams. Our historians then took us back in time to the 1920's when women's soccer was just finding it's footing, right through to modern times where our Matilda superstars showed us how to act with sportsmanship on the field.
We finished with a song, "Sport's for Everyone", which captured the spirit of the world cup by describing the story of women's soccer in Australia over the last 100 years.

Parent/Caregivers Volunteer Declaration Form Changes
We thank all our parents who generously volunteer their time and energy to support our school community. There are some changes to the Working with Children Check policy, to ensure the safety of children when we have volunteers in the school.
This is effective from Monday, 14 August 2023.
If you would like to volunteer at our school, you will need to sign a ‘Parent and child volunteer declaration form’.
These changes affect parents who are engaged in volunteer work. For example, you are considered a volunteer when you assist with activities such as:
- reading sessions
- day excursions
- canteen duties
- helping at a sports carnival
- carrying out P&C duties ie. cake stall during recess
You are not a volunteer when:
- picking up and dropping off your child
- observing events like school assemblies
- attending parent and teacher interviews
- visiting the uniform shop
Therefore, you do not need to complete the Parent and Child Volunteer Declaration.
You cannot volunteer if you have a current Working with Children Negative Notice or Interim Negative Notice.
If your circumstances change, and you are issued with a Negative Notice or Interim Negative Notice after completing the ‘Parent and child volunteer declaration form’, you must advise the principal.
A current Working with Children Check is required by all other family members (ie. Grandparents) and friends over 18 years of age who want to volunteer.
It is a collective responsibility to ensure the safety of our children. We appreciate your ongoing support and dedication to our school community.
