WHITE GUM VALLEY PS Independent Public School   "Take Pride"

What's Happening

 Pre Primary - Room 5

The Pre Primary classes were very lucky to have an amazing donation of a huge amount of dressing up costumes and props. The items were donated by Yvonne and William Varey, Mum and brother to Carolyn Varey. For those people who are old enough to remember Carolyn, she was a Pre Primary teacher here at White Gum Valley 10 years ago and sadly passed away. Carolyn had a love of musical theatre and performance arts and was an amazing seamstress. She had made many of these costumes herself. What a lot of fun we had choosing a costume to wear and getting all dressed up. Future generations of children will enjoy this very kind gift.

Chaplains Chat - Term 2

This term we challenge you to crunch the rainbow for Crunch&Sip® by making a rainbow in your classroom. Eating different coloured fruits and vegetables provides lots of different vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Which is why crunching on a rainbow will help kids get the right balance of nutrients they need for a healthy body.
