Had a lovely morning for Mother's Day, we would like to thank Noel Jones and Woolworths for their Donation and Carolyn Start for helping with the activities.
Wipe Out Waste (WOW) Wednesday
Dear RMPS families,
This term we are introducing Wipe out Waste Wednesdays.
As part of our schools commitment to reducing waste to landfill, we are holding a waste-free lunch day every Wednesday.
A waste free lunch contains no throwaway packaging, packed in a reusable lunchbox or bag. Food is put in reusable containers rather than wrapped in disposable packaging. A drink of water in a refillable bottle.
Each fortnight the class with the lowest amount of waste will be recognised at assembly. Our fabulous ECO Captains will organise this within their own classrooms by tallying up the amount of waste.
Thankyou for supporting your child's participation in Wipe out Waste Wednesdays and our schools waste and sustainability program.
Well Done to these students from O2S Riley, Jenna, Alice, Xavier and Haylee.
Boeing STEAM Incursion
On the 3rd of May, Boeing engineers came into the 5/6 classes for an incursion.
The visitors explained their job as Boeing engineers to our classes and told us about the making of planes, drones and rockets. T
he Boeing engineers also explained the meaning of S.T.E.A.M. and how it’s used in our everyday life such as transport and devices. They told us about their intriguing project to set up a moon base which will be used for planet exploration.
It was interesting to learn how the engineers are using their skills to advance technology. After these explanations, they gave us the challenge of making a rocket made from paper, carboard, tape and rubber bands.
We had to think about the weight, aerodynamics and how to build it, which took a lot of teamwork and collaboration.
To test our creatively engineered rockets, we all went outside to the competition between the 5/6s to see who had the best design and whose rocket travelled the most distance.
It was interesting to see all the rockets in action and how they all flew because of all the different conditions.
We headed inside to explain our designs and what we could improve on to the engineers. The Boeing engineers gave out prizes for winners in design and distance.
Whether we won or not, we all had fun and enjoyed working together and learning in the process.
Works on Junior School Decking
Dear Robbie Mac Community,
On Monday May 15th, work is set to begin on replacing our Junior School Decking.
This will have an impact on our community as the area needs to be fenced off for safety as they get to work. The front gate on Birdwood Street directly near the decking will no longer be accessible and safety fencing will be erected from this point across the pathway leading to the main office and at the top of the asphalt stairs and ramp leading to the Junior School Building.
Workers will also be using a compound near the Year 6 classroom for their own breaks etc.
All members of the community will need to utilise the gate on Devon Street in order to access the Junior School. Students in Foundation to Year 2 will have new areas to line up and be collected by their teachers from Monday.
Foundation classes will all line up in front of FC’s door.1/2R and 1B will line up together and use Ms Ryan’s stairs to enter their classrooms.
2R and 2S will line up along the garden bed and will and use the doors near the internal staircase to enter their classrooms.
We have been advised that this work may take until August to complete. We will continue to update the community of any further access changes as the project progresses and would like to thank the community for their support as we navigate access during this time.
