We are excited to announce that our Friday morning 'Run Club' will be starting again on Friday mornings in term 2 with the first club taking place at 8am from next Friday (5th May)

Run Club is back!
Run Club is back!

After our call out for helpers in the newsletter, we have had two parents - Fraser Marsden & Ashley Gudgeon offer to take on the running of the club each Friday morning.

 

For those who have not been before, Run Club is open to everyone (students, parents and friends) with the aim being to complete as many laps of the oval as possible. We keep records of the number of laps completed over a year and students are challenged to build their fitness and get active before school.

 

We hope to see lots of you there for session #1.


Year 6 Market Day

On Friday 12th May our Year 6 students will be holding their annual Market Day at the school.

 

Market Day is a project that the Year Six students work on that has four aims;

  • to develop their leadership and organisation skills
  • to learn about financial literacy and build authentic concepts of supply and demand, profit, overheads and other entrepreneurial ideas.
  • to raise money for their yearbook and graduation
  • to help the rest of the school have fun

The students will work in groups and will each run a stall or activity on the day.

 

Students from other year levels are invited to attend Market Day and spend small amounts of money at the various market stalls. All of the money raised will go towards funding the Year 6 Graduation at the end of the year.

Each market stall will cost a student $1 - $3. Closer to the time, a notice will go home with further details about Market Day including the logistics of sending amount of gold coins to school to allow your child to participate.


Sub-Committee Meetings

Our school has a number of permanent working groups called sub-committees. These groups are made up of staff members and dedicated parents who meet ten times a year with a focus to make our school a better place.

 

Sub-committees are open for anyone to join and rely on the energy, ideas and hard work of parents to improve the school experience for all of our students.

 

The groups are open for all parents to join and contribute to so feel free to come along to any of the following meetings.
