Our House Spirt

We began working with Our House Spirit in Term 1 this year. Our House Spirit works with schools and in particular student leaders to implement fun and engaging activities for students and the school community. Last term our student leaders worked with the team from Our House Spirit to run activities for our Year 1/2 students.

This term the team is organising a House Spirit Day. All students will be in their house colours on the day and participate in a 2 hour session with will have 4 zones,  music, art, sport and party games. House Spirit Day will be held on Friday September 8. It will be great to see everyone dressed up in our house colours!

New Building

Work on our new building will begin next term. Below you will find a link to some of the architects drawings of the building. The building will be completed at the end of 2024 ready for use in 2025. The building consists of 8 classrooms, 2 STEM rooms and a large library which can also be used as a meeting space for teachers and for parent sessions. The building also has a number of meeting spaces for staff to access.

This building is part of the Department of Education's new school expansion project.

Playground, Paths, Walkways, Garden and Musical Instruments

There has been a delay in our new Year 3-6 playground due to a change in design by the architects. The design has been changed to a ninja course to reflect the interest of our students.

We are hoping that the playground, paths, walkways and garden near the sandpit and musical instruments in the learning street will be completed by the end of the year. This project was funded by the Department of Education's Inclusive Schools Fund. 

New Paths

A new path will be install from the gate closest to the playground over the holidays. This will help with access to before and after school care late in Term 4 and for 2024 as there will be no access via the softball car park for before and after care due to the new building works. 

New temporary paths have been installed to reduce the amount of mud around the school. These paths link our Year 5/6 doubly storey building across to the gym and performing arts  area and provide access for students during recess and lunch to navigate to and from the canteen, basketball courts and oval. This will also help for families who access the car park at the softball ground. A big thank you to Ian and Luigi, our maintenance staff who worked on this project.

Assembly

Assembly is held every 2nd Thursday morning at 9am in our gym, The Golden Sun Centre.  This Term's assembly will be held on the 31st August and 14th September.
