Rushworth Community House

Community Partnerships Update

Each Monday we have a student representative from each class go to Rushworth Community House to help with the 10am craft group.

This craft group is open to everyone. We encourage any family member that is interested in crafts and are available at 10am on a Monday to participate in this opportunity. We have also been informed that young children are able to accompany you.

Likewise, if you know of anyone who is interested in crafts, please let them know of this session.

Small groups of F-2 students have also started to go to the Hostel on Tuesday mornings with Jennie. They have been visiting the residents, talking, reading stories, and helping with cooking.

This week we took a break from the Community House and Hostel, as the students have been engaging in nature walks.

Swimming Lessons

It was amazing to see our students actively participating in the swimming program. The students developed confidence, water skills and endurance throughout the week. The students were well behaved in the lessons and tried their hardest.

Thank you to all the people who ensured that the students were ready for swimming each day.

Transition Prep

It was great to have our first Transition Prep session for this year on Friday 1st September. We were joined by some of our future students who enjoyed learning about the school, art and Walker Learning. They had the opportunity to participate in a rainbow art lesson with Mrs Jamieson and then had the chance to form friendships with some of the current F/1/2 students.
