Primary School Highlights
Mrs Yvette Clifton, Head of Primary
SciTech Excursions
Mrs Lizelle Kriek | Year 3 Teacher
Our Year 1s and Year 3s students visited SciTech and attended various science interactive activities and presentations like the Power Trip Show.'In the planetarium, students watched the Tilt show and learned how the Earth's tilt is responsible for the different seasons. Students also had the opportunity to become engineers for the day as they participated in the Rio Tinto Tinkering Workshop, designing crew capsules for a spaceship and testing their prototypes.
RU OK Day
Our Primary students ran Chapel in conjunction with RUOK Day. The Auditorium was a sea of yellow, with students and staff dressing up in yellow accessories to brighten the day! Our student leaders encouraged us with simple steps on how to be a good friend and asked, "Are you OK?". They also reminded us that we can always go to God in prayer, as the bible tells us to cast our fears and anxiety on Jesus because He cares for us.
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."1 Peter 5:7
Grill and Chill BBQ
In celebration of Father's Day, our Kindergarten students and teachers invited dads, grandads, and uncles to an afterschool BBQ. We had a wonderful turnout, and family members had personal tours of their classrooms and participated in completing some fun activities together. It was also an opportunity for Dad to meet and fellowship with other dads in the group.
Book Week and Dress Up Day
We were so encouraged by all the students who dressed up as a "Hero" book character for the Book Week Parade. Teachers also ran various fun and creative activities in their classes during the week to inspire our students with a love of reading.
