This is a special offer to partner school's that have completed the Road to Respect program, I recommend getting in sooner rather than later in case they sell out!

Our Year 3/4 students who have recently completed the Road to Respect program were invited to create posters that reflect their learnings from the program, (drawings, colour, key words encouraged). The club is displaying these posters as large artworks at the game – so their art will be on display! Students will be given opportunity as a school representative to be in the Guard of Honour! 

Positive Behaviour for Learning - PBL

This week in our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) lesson students have been learning about the Sun Safety Routine. As we enter into the warmer months students are learning about their responsibility to keep Sun Safe from September - April. This routine supports the students in understanding the behaviour expection on our school Behaviour Matrix: I am SunSmart. Please ensure your child has their own sunscreen at school (roll-on is preferred) and is able to apply it independently. You may wish to practise this at home. We encourage the students to review this routine with their families to ensure all students are SunSmart. 

Congratulations to these students who were acknowledged for showing our PBL Value of Respect: I wait for my turn to speak.
