Assistant Principal News
I hope this message finds you well. As we experience the unpredictable weather of late, with large fluctuations in temperature, we've noticed an increase in sickness among students, and we encourage parents to keep their children at home if they are feeling unwell. It's important to prioritize rest and recovery. As we reach the halfway point of Term 1, we acknowledge that many children are feeling a bit tired. We understand this is a natural part of the school year, and we encourage students to get plenty of sleep, rest when needed, and take care of their health to ensure they stay well for the remainder of the term.
Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to a productive and healthy rest of Term 1.
１学期もあっという間に中間地点までやってきました。近日の激しい気温の変化により、体調を崩す生徒が増えております。体調不良の時は無理をせず、お子様がお家で静養できるようご協力をお願い致します。また、１学期の折り返し地点を過ぎ、疲れを感じている生徒も少なくないようです。早めの就寝や休養などを適度にとり、残りの１学期も元気に過ごせるようにしましょう。

Snapshots from our classrooms
Recently, Miss Molloy has been running engaging Phys Ed lessons for our students, and she invited a tennis coach to work with the students. The sessions were highly engaging, and the students had a fantastic time learning about the different skills required to become a good tennis player. It was wonderful to see the students so focused and enthusiastic as they learned new techniques and improved their physical abilities. モロイ先生の体育の時間に、テニスコーチをお招きしました。生徒達はコーチからいろいろなスキルを教わり楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。みんなとても集中して取り組んでいますね。
Last week I had the privilege of attending the Cave Hill Creek Camp with our Year 5/6 students. The camp provided a range of exciting activities such as archery, canoeing, biking, and climbing the giant’s ladder. These activities were not only fun but also helped challenge our students' resilience and physicality. It was inspiring to watch the students push themselves and support one another through these challenges. A special thank you goes out to all the staff members who supported and made this camp a resounding success.先週、Cave Hill Creekで５・６年生のキャンプに参加してまいりました。アーチェリー、自転車乗り、大きなハシゴなど、たくさんの楽しいアクティビティを体験しました。楽しい反面、少々チャレンジングなものも多く、５・６年生の生徒達は強い心を持って取り組みました。キャンプを成功させてくれた、５・６年生の先生達、また一緒に参加してくれた先生方、ありがとうございました。
Until next fortnight,
Miharu Morioka
