Principal's Report

Reception to Year 5 Swimming

It has been wonderful for us to be able to offer swimming lessons again this year, as last year was cancelled due to the COVID- 19 Pandemic.

Students have thoroughly enjoyed their swimming lessons.

It has been great that some parents were able to join us at the pool to share this experience with us. Students were put into groups according to their experience and confidence. This has proven to be very successful and teachers have been very pleased with the positive behaviours our students have been displaying.

Sustainability with Sue

Students in rooms 2 & 3 have been working with Sue Moroney to reinvigorate our kitchen garden. We are currently watching the progress of spinach and tomato plants.

With Sue’s support we have two new green bins and we are reinstating our school compost area.

Our aim as a school is to reduce our footprint by maximising recycling and composting as well as minimising our amount of waste to landfill.

We have plenty of exciting plans.

Students will be working with and learning from the experts from Green Adelaide and KESAB.

NAPLaN

Plans are underway for our year 3,5,and 7 students to undertake the online NAPLaN test early term 2.

Many thanks to Sarah Crosby and Patrick (our ICT technician) for their preparation work to make sure this goes smoothly.

ATTENDANCE

Reminder that all students should be at school and in class by 8:45am everyday.

Students arriving after 8:45am will be recorded as late and we are required to keep records of this for the Department for Education.

It is essential that all students are at school on time.
