Upper Primary Athletics Day
On the final day of week 10 (the conclusion of the term), is our Upper Primary Athletics Day for our Stage 3 and 4 students. This event is held annually and serves as a platform for selecting participants for the Interschool Connected Athletics Carnival in Term 4.
It presents a chance for students to explore athletic disciplines that are not featured in our school's Term 1 Sports Day. Students are welcome to try out multiple events, all in a non-pressured atmosphere. The top participants from each event will subsequently be chosen to represent the school at the Connected Athletics Carnival during Term 4.
While the final day of the term may be a rest day for our younger students (after Showcase), we strongly encourage all Stage 3 and 4 students to be present at school on this day. If your child cannot attend, please inform their class teacher. Students who miss the day will have the opportunity to participate in event trials at a later date if they were unable to attend.
Sincerely,
Jason Wain

Code Camp for Year 3&4 Students
We are trialling an after school program, run by Code Camp, for our Year 3&4 students in Term 4. The coding sessions incorporate weekly challenges, functions, algorithms, branching, variables, game logic, user experience and maths.
From Code Camp:
'Coding after-school' is an 8-week program with a new project each week, and the fun doesn’t have to stop after class! Your child will be provided with their very own Code Camp World account which they can use to continue creating at home and to share their projects with family and friends.
If this is something that your Year 3 or 4 child would be interested in, please click on the button below.

Growing Faith at Home
The title of this week’s GFH resource is ‘God is amazingly generous’. Have you ever had a ‘double take’ when you received a generous gift that you felt was undeserved? How did you feel about it? I’m wondering if your attention changed from the gift to the gift giver? Have a look at this week’s GFH edition for some things to talk about and perhaps even do as a family.
God bless your week!
