New Staff

We are delighted to welcome Elise Fitzpatrick to our College community. Elise has joined our Education Support team and will be working alongside our teachers to support students in the classroom. We are pleased to have her as part of our team and wish her every success in her new role.

New Playground

Our new playground is nearing completion, with the finishing touches being completed early next week. Students are eagerly anticipating its opening and are excited to enjoy the new equipment. We look forward to our new playground opening and providing students with a fun, engaging and safe environment to play in.

Attendance

Regular school attendance is vital for student success. Everyday counts, and missing school means missing out on important learning opportunities. Consistent attendance helps students stay engaged, achieve better academic outcomes and build strong social connections. However, if your child is sick, it is important that they stay home to rest and recover, and to prevent the spread of illness to other students and staff. If your child needs to be absent, I kindly ask that you inform the school.

Book Week Dress Up Day

It's time to start planning those costumes and dusting off your favourite book characters because our Book Week Dress Up Day will be held on Monday 24th August! We can't wait to see our students and staff bring their favourite stories to life during our annual Book Week celebrations.

World of Maths

World of Maths features hand-made physical tactile activities designed to teach mathematical concepts to students through hands-on problem-solving and team collaboration. All students from Foundation to Year 11 took part in the sessions, that involved the students working in small groups and working as teams to explore and discover mathematical concepts. Our students embraced the opportunity, in many cases, showing great perseverance, determined to stick at a task until they solved it. 

Australian Mathematics Competition

Throughout the week we have had high performing students from Years 4 to 11 take part in the Australian Mathematics Competition. Each of the students tackled 30 problem-solving questions, designed to test mathematical thinking rather than routine school curriculum. All students who participated, displayed great resilience and approached each question in a positive manner. Always many conversations about what and how following the sitting. Congratulations to all those selected and well done on your efforts. 

SWPBS

Our next team meeting is on Monday. It has been great to see the Gumball Machine begin to fill.
