Eisugakkan - Homestay Families Needed
Year 5 students from Eisugakkan School, our sister school in Japan, will be visiting Golden Grove Lutheran Primary School from Thursday 24th to Sunday 27th July. During their stay, the students will have the opportunity to experience Australian culture and connect with our students. On Saturday 26th July, the school is seeking homestay families to host the visiting students, providing them with a unique and memorable experience. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to engage in cultural exchange and offer a warm welcome to these young visitors. If you're interested in hosting, please contact us via email - office@goldengrove.sa.edu.au
Eisugakkan Camp
Year 5 and 6 students are invited to a joint camp at AFL Max with the students visiting from Eisugakkan. The camp will be a one night adventure from Friday 25 July to Saturday 26 July. A permission note and information will be emailed home shortly to assist you if you would like your children to be involved this year.
GLOW Week
We hope you have had some excited talk in your house about GLOW Week coming up in Week 9 (Monday 23 June - Friday 27 June). GLOW stands for Growing, Learning, Owning and Wondering!
We will be putting aside the whole of the week to give students the opportunity to do a 'deep dive' into a hands-on area that they are interested in. This will include activities including fishing and survival skills, knitting, gymnastic, drama, cake decorating etc.
We are looking forward to an exciting week of Growing, Learning, Owning and Wondering! If you may be able to assist with helping out with a group and sharing in an area of your interest, please contact Lauren Neumann neumann.lauren@goldengrove.sa.edu.au
