Public Speaking Success

Congratulations to all our students on their amazing efforts writing and presenting their speeches. The themes ranged from vets, cupcakes, camping, vaping - why it is bad, Country vs City, You Tube Age Restrictions, Green Energy vs Clean Energy, Getting rid of homework, Space, Are we losing the written word? and even Harry Houdini.

The topics were engaging for the audience and all students delivered their well-rehearsed speeches with confidence. The finals proved to be a great experience for all our Primary students to be part of.

We thank Mr Maddigan for coming to adjudicate and for sharing quality feedback to all our speakers.

R U OK? Day

R U OK? Day is a national day of action and a reminder that every day is a good day to check in on the people in your life. We encouraged everyone to ask, "Are you okay?" and gave them ways to start a meaningful conversation. It was a chance for students to show the people in their world that they care and that there is always a good friend who can listen without judgment.  

Our students interacted with each other for the day and engaged in exciting tasks. The pizza lunch was a treat and the K-2 disco was a hit. Our 3-6 students finished the day with a fun disco! Thank you to our Leaders of Student Care - Mrs Moore, Mrs Murphy and Mrs Gaias for their planning and organisaton of such a great day!
