Principal's Update
Congratulations to Andrew Noordhoff and the Grade 3 /4 class for achieving great results at the Maths Talent Quest!
Congratulations also to our amazing Cricket Team on playing in the Division Finals.
As I take tours around the school with prospective families I have been reflecting on all the amazing opportunities our students have!
After touring the Nature Play Space and outdoor learning area, we go into the Senior Module where there is always lots of activities going on. Students are able to work at their own level of ability across the module and be challenged to advance their learning.
The next stop on the tour is our updated basketball/soccer courts, then we move into our newly renovated Canteen /Stephanie Alexander Kitchen. Everyone is always very impressed to hear about the students cooking and preparing meals and then even cleaning up!
We travel on through the Art Room and Music Room and spend time in the Wellbeing Hub, where we talk about our very successful lunchtime program on Wellbeing Wednesdays and our cross-age Clubs on Wednesday afternoons.
The next part of the Tour is the Stepahanie Alexander Garden which speaks for itself as do our chooks in their palace. We go down to the GAGA pit which was a legacy project for our Grade 6's a few years ago, and then we chat about our Junky Monkeys Program -which the students are just loving - they enjoy the opportunity to play and be creative while working together outside.
We move on to the Junior Module which is always enjoyable. The students are enthusiastic about their learning and showing us what they are up to in Prep, Grade 1 and 2. Next step our science room, assembly area and after care room with lots of opportunities for learning and fun!
We head back in, past the playground, to the library, which is just a delightful, calm space that all our classes make the most of, and then our tour is complete.
Families are very impressed with everything that we offer and are our excellent NAPLAN results and positive wellbeing approach to learning.
Term 4 has once again started off as a busy term with lots and lots of learning and fun activities going on. Please enjoy reading over the newsletter to see what the first few weeks has looked like at WMPS.
Have a great weekend!
Take care
