Dear parents/caregivers and community members,

As Term 1 2018 comes to a close, I have taken time to reflect on some substantial achievements and highlights that have taken place across the term.

This has included: Acquaintance Night, introducing our new Levelled Behaviour Scheme (LBS), new JP playground, opening of our wonderful Nature Play space situated in Yard B, Acquaintance Night, completion of the STEM facility, introduction of STEM as NIT subject, Port SAPSASA Swimming (1st overall), Port SAPSASA Athletics carnival (2nd overall), whole school performance – The Protectors, Power Youth Workshops (Yr 6/7), Harmony Day, Knockout Softball, Crows Cup - girls football carnival (Yr 6/7), visits to Le Fevre High School (Yr 6 & 7’s) and Ocean View College (Yr 7’s), Virtual Reality excursion (Yr 5’s), Schools Congress- Anti Racism forum, regular lunch clubs being run by teachers for our students.

Today, I had the pleasure to accompany Karen Smith and the year 3-7, level 4 LBS students on their trip to Pt Malcolm Reserve. Congratulations to the students involved and thank you to the parents who supervised this trip.

We are really pleased with how our Reception students have settled into school life. Fantastic effort!

We look forward to a busy term 2 which includes reports going home in weeks 9 and 10 as part of the parent/teacher interview process.

Welcome

Term 1 Outstanding Attendance Award

This term, there were 39 children who attended school every day. Congratulations to all of them. We could only have one winner and that student was Elektra from Room 17.
