Leading the Way

Our student leaders play an incredibly important role in shaping the culture of our school. Our student leaders are not only role models for their peers, but they are also our future. The way they learn to lead, collaborate, and make decisions now will influence the kind of adults they become. This is why it is so important that we, as a school community, continue to encourage and nurture them. Leadership grows through guidance, opportunity, reflection, and support.

By providing our student leaders with consistent support and positive reinforcement, we build their confidence and strengthen their ability to make thoughtful, responsible choices. We want every student leader to know that their voice matters, that they are capable, and that they can make a meaningful contribution to our school. Our Year 6 leaders regularly engage in reflective discussions, considering how they demonstrate leadership through their actions and interactions.

I am proud of the way our student leaders represent our school, and I look forward to continuing to support them as they grow into confident, compassionate, and capable individuals.

Harmony Day

On Thursday, March 19th, our school proudly celebrated Harmony Day with a whole-school assembly and vibrant parade. Students came together to recognise and celebrate the rich diversity within our community. Throughout the week, classrooms focused on our school value of Relationships, reinforcing the importance of respect, inclusion and a strong sense of belonging. It was wonderful to see students embracing the message that everyone belongs. Harmony Day was a meaningful reminder of the strength we find in celebrating our differences and supporting one another.

Spotlight 📣 on Foundation 🎉

Our Foundation students are beginning to explore Stage 2 sounds in our Little Learners Love Literacy program. They have been learning the letter 'b' and the sound it makes. Students practised recognising, saying, and writing the /b/ sound, and enjoyed finding words that begin with this sound.

To bring their learning to life, students created a fun bat craft! After making their bats, they used their growing phonics knowledge to write simple words or sentences about their creation, using the /b/ sound. It was wonderful to see students having a go at stretching out words and applying their sound knowledge in their writing.

We are so proud of the confidence and enthusiasm students are showing as they begin to use their sounds to become independent writers!

Sports Extravaganza

It has been an exciting time for sport at Maramba Primary School, with many opportunities for students to get active and involved. 

Athletics Day

On Friday 20th, our Years 3–6 students participated in Athletics Day, demonstrating great sportsmanship and enthusiasm across all events. Students enjoyed competing in a range of activities including sprints, high jump, discus and shot put.

Whole School Cross Country

On Friday 27th, our whole school participated in Cross Country. Students from Foundation to Year 6 challenged themselves and supported one another as they completed a timed run around the school.

Year 5 and 6 Summer Lightning Premiership 

On Wednesday 25th March, our Year 5 and 6 students took part in the Summer Lightning Premiership. Students worked as part of a team to compete in kickball, cricket, tennis or basketball, demonstrating teamwork, cooperation and a positive competitive spirit.

We are incredibly proud of the way our students continue to embrace teamwork, perseverance and a positive attitude across all sporting events. These experiences not only promote physical activity, but also build confidence, resilience and a strong sense of community.

Easter Colour Competition

At our final assembly for the term on Thursday, April 2, we will announce the winners of the Only Estate Agents Colouring Competition.

Thank you to all students who put so much time and effort into their entries. We received many beautifully coloured pictures, and choosing the winners will certainly be a challenge. We also extend our sincere thanks to Only Estate Agents for organising the competition and generously donating the prizes.

Kind regards,

Moniba Ehsan and Stephanie Sharp
