Yr 6 Many Stories Exhibition
2025 saw the launch of our APS Immigration Museum, which showcased not only the rich cultural heritage of the APS community, but also the work of our wonderfully talented students. 2026 marks the return of our museum and once again we are providing you with an opportunity to add your voice / story to our display. This year we are asking that you share a little information about food and traditions that are associated with your family's history. Last year we had almost 100 respondents to our questionnaire, which really added value and context to what we were learning in class. If you would like to share yours or your family's story we would greatly appreciate you completing the following form, by Friday 14th August. This can be anonymous if you would prefer.
A major focus for us this year is exploring how traditions keep culture alive, so we would really appreciate as much detail as possible in our last question:)
Regards,
Alan, Deborah & Megan

Library News
From Saturday, 22 August to Friday, 28 August, we are celebrating Children's Book Week 2026. This year’s official theme is "Symphony of Stories", celebrating the beautiful, chaotic, and colourful ways that different characters and narratives come together.
Our annual costume parade and open morning will be held on Thursday, 27 August. This is a wonderful morning where our students invite some special people or grandparents along to see our costume parade and check out their learning with a visit to the classroom. We are inviting people to come in from 9:30am - 11:00am on Thursday, 27 August to meet in our gym.
We would love all families to donate a new or preloved book for our library. Book donations can be dropped into the front office in the box provided. A dedication will be stuck inside letting our APS community know that you have donated a book.
The Premiers’ Reading Challenge is still in full swing. If you are reading and love to enter your books and reviews, keep doing so. This challenge concludes in September. Each child will receive a signed certificate at the end of the challenge. If your child has misplaced their login and password, please email and it will be resent.
If you have any overdue books that might be hiding around your home, could you please return these to the library.
Happy Reading!
