Clyde's Leadership Stars
On the 3rd of June our school leaders went to visit Cranbourne Secondary to represent Clyde. Firstly, we were able to meet the Cranbourne Secondary School Leaders and learn their core values -Teamwork, Communication and Integrity. We played games that reflected these values and were able to interact with other school leaders. These games included icebreakers to get to know each other and activities that challenged our communication skills. These activities were hosted and guided by the Cranbourne Secondary school leaders. They provided some delicious food and snacks, such as hotdogs, hash browns and a variety of snacks and fruit. Overall, this experience has strengthened our abilities as leaders and widely enjoyed by our school leaders.

Term 2 – Slink Apples Fundraiser
Term 3 - Pancake Day, two slinky apples fundraisers, Clyde’s Got Talent show
Term 4 – Slinky Apples Fundraiser.
Please support our Year six students to finish their final year of schooling with some exciting celebrations.
Clyde's Got Talent
There has been lots of excitement around the school as students prepare for Clyde’s Got Talent in Term 3. Auditions have been taking place, with students eager to showcase their hidden talents. We have been amazed by the confidence, creativity, and enthusiasm shown by everyone who has auditioned so far. Final acts will be announced by the end of term, when all auditions are completed.
Clyde’s Got Talent is a wonderful opportunity for students to share their passions, celebrate their strengths, and support one another in a positive and encouraging environment. We look forward to seeing our talented performers take to the stage next term and share their amazing acts with the students at Clyde! 🎤✨🌟

Winter Lightning Premiership
On Wednesday 10th June, we had 60 students from across Year 5 and 6 compete at our District Lightning Premiership. Students had the choice of four sports to compete in - AFL 9's, Netball, Soccer and Badminton.
We had a really great day overall!
AFL 9's
The AFL 9's final was Clyde 1 vs Clyde 2 which was great match the watch. The students all
had a great time and we saw some great sportsmanship throughout the day. Clyde 1 team will now compete at Division level in Term 3, after winning the final.
Netball
We had 3 netball team competing, which was great to see such great participation. They got to practise their skills learnt at school in PE and in our lunch time tournament. Team 1 made it to the final, they played a really great game and came runners up, which is a great achievement.
Badminton
It was the first time this sport was part of Lightning Premiership and they had a great time. There were some really close matches, a few wins and a draw. The team came 3rd overall, which is a great result.
Soccer
Our soccer team had a great day with a draw and two losses, but they got to practise their skills, have fun and learn more about the game, which is a win!
