School Production

Cinderella and Rockerfella

On Wednesday 7th of August and Thursday 8th of August we performed in our whole school production. It was a fantastic event and the students had a wonderful time. The students were very brave in their first production and they were fantastic on stage.

Below are pictures from dress rehearsal, technical rehearsal and production nights.

Book Week

On Wednesday 21st of August we celebrated book week with a dress up day. Students came to school dressed as their favourite character from a book. They looked lovely in their costumes. We were treated to a fantastic storytime with Melissa from the local library. Melissa is Monica's mum and she generously volunteered her time to captivate the childrens' interest and lead them through songs, actions and stories. It was a wonderful experience, thankyou very much Melissa.

Our costumes

Tricky Words

Through the InitiaLit program a range of Tricky Words are taught. These words are referred to as Tricky Words as they cannot be spelled by sounding them out. Due to the nature of the program, the sets of Tricky Words get taught in groups of three and are taught during any given lesson. 

You can assist your child at home in many ways. For example try: sky writing the tricky words, writing them on paper or putting them in a highly visible area, such as the fridge and spell them aloud repeatedly. Below are Term 3's tricky words.

Take Home Readers

Each week, your child is provided with the opportunity to change their hard copy reader to read for the week. We ask that the book is read 3-4 times per week and is logged into your child’s reading diary. 

Your child’s reading diary and book needs to be brought to school every Friday morning to be checked by your child’s classroom teacher. We kindly ask that all books are taken care of and returned in good condition every Friday.  

Students have taken home their MultiLit eLibrary passwords so they can choose to supplement their take home reader some nights of the week.

Specialist Timetable

Please note the following information regarding the days that each grade has specialist classes.  * These times are subject to change during school-wide events (eg: swimming timetables) *

Students attend the Library for borrowing with their class teacher.
