Year 6 Camp

The Year 6 students have reported that they thoroughly enjoyed their time at Lake Ainsworth. Tyreece from 6C said, "The experience was really enjoyable because of all the interactive activities that helped me learn more about teamwork." 

I was lucky enough to spend the Thursday night and Friday visiting the camp.  I was impressed by the facilities and the efforts of both the PBSS staff and camp staff who kept our students engaged and on the go. From lively night activities to energetic days and great food, our students did not stop the whole time! Student highlights included high ropes, sailing and the shopping fair.

Maddie from 6C reported that, "I found the camp really interesting because I got to try a variety of new things and we got to have one giant sleep over with our friends." I'm sure this experience will remain as a favourite memory for many years to come.

Waste Free Wednedsay

Last Wednesday was the first Waste Free Wednesday at PBSS. The sustainability education initiative was widely supported with teachers giving out 'Thank you' tokens to those students who participated. Every Wednesday we ask that your child's lunch contain as few items as possible that must be thrown away.  Reusable containers are a handy way to pack a waste free lunch and, as I walked around school last Wednesday, I observed a notable absence of litter AND very little rubbish in our bins.  By making this small change and participating in Waste Free Wednesdays, our students will have a better understanding of how we can take action to reduce our impact on the environment.

Thank you for your support in making sustainability a priority at PBSS.

Borobi Visit

On Friday, we are looking forward to hosting the 2018 Commonwealth Games mascot Borobi at our school.  Borobi will arrive at 9:30 and we will have a whole school assembly to welcome him to PBSS.

Gold Coast Suns visiting PBSS

Our grade 4-6 students are eagerly awaiting the Gold Coast Suns visit on Friday.  This week, the Friday sport program will involve a visit and workshops with GC Suns players. From 2pm, the players will run a community camp with our students.  This visit falls perfectly as The Suns players will be reinforcing the message given by Ms. Sara Carrigan OAM who spoke to our students about following dreams, persisting through challenges and setting personal short and long term goals.
