Last week the Solway PS swim team competed at the Division Swimming Championships. Once again, the team competed with passion and showed tremendous Respect, Responsibility and Resilience. A massive congratulations to the 9/10 years boys relay team of Finn S, Thomas M, Oliver W, and Guy M who won their event and will progress to the regional championships next week.

Solway PS official Facebook Page

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the official Solway Primary School Facebook page! This will be a fantastic way for us to share important updates, celebrate student achievements, and showcase the wonderful learning happening at our school.

Our Facebook page will help keep families connected and informed with timely reminders, event highlights, and glimpses into daily school life.

We understand that privacy is important, and we are committed to ensuring a safe and secure online presence. No students will be identified by name, and only approved images will be shared. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Solway Community Fair

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to help out this Saturday. It is not too late to volunteer if you are able to help in any way see the link to put your name down. SOLWAY FAIR VOLUNTEER SIGNUP. It has been pleasing to see so many raffle tickets being sold. Please remember to return tickets to the office before Saturday.

We are very much looking forward to the day and cannot wait to welcome our community to such a wonderful event. At the time of writing the forecast is for some hot weather, if you are coming along we remind everyone to ensure they stay well hydrated and Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide to protect themselves from the heat.

NAPLAN

This week, our Year 3 and Year 5 students began their NAPLAN assessments, and we want to take a moment to acknowledge their efforts. NAPLAN provides an important system-wide measure of student learning, helping to inform how we support our students at both a school and national level.

However, it’s important to remember that NAPLAN is just one snapshot in time—a single measure of a child’s achievement on a particular day. It does not capture all the wonderful qualities that make our students who they are: their creativity, kindness, resilience, and curiosity.

We are incredibly proud of all our students for approaching the assessments with focus and determination. Regardless of the results, every child should be commended for giving their best always.

Thank you for your continued support and lets all strive to be “our best always”.
