Uniform shop opportunity EOI

Our second hand uniform store is a very special feature of our school that has been run superbly by our wonderful parent volunteer, Bishan, for a number of years. Bishan has been doing an amazing job, but it is now time for her to pass on the torch. This is a call out to any parent, or parents, who may like to support us through the second hand uniform store - please contact the office for more information.

National Ride 2 School Day

On the 24th of March this year Aberfeldie Primary School participated in National Ride to school day. We were one of the 867 schools that participated. Across Australia 364,000 students either walked or rode to school as part of this day. Aberfeldie put in a huge effort with an amazing 149 people riding or scooting to school, 102 people walking and only 86 came by car. The three classes that got the most people riding or walking were; 3/4C, 5/6B and 3/4B. We all put in a huge effort and we are very proud of our school.

Student Report: Volleyball

Recently the grade 5/6s had a gala day. Gala day is when you decide on a sport to play for you were allowed to choose out of volleyball, cricket, softball and tennis. This segment we will be talking about volleyball. Our volleyball matches were held on the last two Fridays and they were amazing! There were two teams, the A team and the B team, they both played amazingly well. The A team had played 4 games the first Friday versus many schools like Essendon north, Essendon, Strathmore and Strathmore North, the B team played against Essendon, Strathmore, Strathmore north and St Monica’s, the A team lost no games and the B team lost three out of four. The second Friday rolled past super quick and we were soon back at Fairborn park playing three games and still having heaps of fun. A team played four due to them being unbeaten. The A team had done it again and won all their games and miraculously made it to divisionals. All the teams had played exceptionally well and we were all ecstatic with the final scores. We were shocked and super stunned with the scores but we worked very hard to earn it and we forgot all the doubters as they heard us chant our name. ABERS!
