Learning @ TPPS
Grade 2 Camp Excursion
On Wednesday, 23rd October, our Grade 2 students had an exciting day out at La Trobe University Sports Centre in Bundoora. The day was filled with fun and engaging activities like basketball, table tennis, soccer, and aquatic activities, including the thrilling Tarzan rope!
Our students demonstrated all our school values and were exceptional at listening to and following instructions. It was wonderful to see them enjoy the experience while building valuable skills in preparation for future overnight camps.
Thank you to the parent helpers and instructors who helped make the day a great success!
Prep Swimming
Our Prep students recently made a splash during their swimming program at Aquarena!
They learned a variety of swimming techniques and gained essential water safety skills.
One highlight was Water Safety Day, where students practiced wearing life jackets, crawled through a seaweed tunnel, and enjoyed a ride on an inflatable boat, jumping off at the end.
The experience helped build their confidence in the water while making some wonderful memories.
Great job, Preps!
Market Fresh Visit
Our Prep students enjoyed a fun and educational Market Fresh visit! They learned about the different bugs that help protect our fruits and veggies as they grow, discovering the importance of these tiny garden helpers. The students also got to taste a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, with mandarins and pineapple as the clear favourites. It was a tasty and fun experience for all!

Grade 4FC had a fantastic time on camp and did some wonderful work !
Emily E - Show don’t tell- leap of faith
You climb a ladder up really high. It is 15 meters up in the sky! Once you get to the top, you will get goosebumps. When you are ready, you need to jump, in order to get to the ground. Once you’re done your head will start spinning. Then after, you’ll want another try, because it felt like you could fly!

TPPS Boys Basketball Team headed to the State Finals!
The Grade 5/6 Boys Basketball Team have won through to the State Finals in both the School Sport Victoria Basketball Championships and Hoop Time. The Eastern Region is a hotbed of basketball talent and winning this Region in both competitions is an exceptional achievement.
The boys will now play schools from the other seven Regions of Victoria and other Hoop Time champions. This includes schools from as far away as Warrnambool and Mildura.
We would like to congratulate the team on their exceptional sportsmanship and skills. They are a fantastic group of boys and we can’t wait to support them in their quest to be named State Champions!
