Foundation

The Foundation students have been very excited about our new investigation areas and have enjoyed exploring these areas during Investigation time.  Many students enjoy working in the hospital and healthy cafe, as well as being a patient in the hospital.  

If anyone has some boxes lying around, we are in need for some boxes for our collage area. 

PEVAN AND SARAH

On Monday the 10th of November, the Foundation students have an excursion to see Pevan and Sarah at the Ulumbarra theatre. This is a live performance which complements the learning we undertake in our classroom.  A permission form will be released today on PAM for parental consent. Students will leave the school at approximately 9:30am and travel by bus to Ulumbarra theatre. Students will return to school by 12:00pm. Pevan and Sarah are always an extremely exciting performance for the foundation students, and they are looking forward to attending.
