Around The Primary

Dear Parents

We hope you enjoy this clip as it provides a glimpse into the great learning activities occurring around the Primary school.

Just a reminder, school will be closed for all students on Monday 28 March for Parent/Teacher interviews. Thank you to the many parents who have already booked a time to meet with class teachers. These meetings are a valuable opportunity for teachers to share information about each child’s academic and social development.  The staff are looking forward to this opportunity to connect with all families.

Last night Year 5B accompanied by Mr Fromm, Mrs Standing, Mrs Gardner, Mrs Haydon and Ms Kidd enjoyed a Sunset Safari at Perth Zoo. From all accounts they had a ‘zootastic’ time! Next Thursday 31 March Year 5G will participate in this wonderful experience.

The days ahead are going to be testing for those families in isolation. A good way of thinking about the whole situation is that we are indeed lucky that our children are safe and sound, given that many families around the world are dealing with a whole lot more. Try to get back to the basics and enjoy this time with your children as much as possible. Play, read, build, tell stories, look at photos, clean, cook, garden, tell jokes, write letters, make cards, paint, fix things, rearrange furniture, sing, play an instrument, write a poem, do a crossword, knit, sew, write a song, search for a competition to enter online, teach your child how to fix a flat bike tyre, watch a movie together that warms your hearts, ... in the end these will be the foundation of beautiful childhood memories!

Many thanks​ to those parents who have sent a message of encouragement and recognition to our hard-working staff for all their efforts throughout the term - it is valued and really reinforces what a special community we all belong to.

May we all continue to stay safe and well.

Kind regards
