We celebrated NATIONAL HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION DAY this week!!
A chance to promote an active and healthy lifestyle for everyone and provide a sense of unity for our JSA community during remote learning.
Thank you to those who participated and earned points for their School House!
It was great to see so many students, families and staff from the primary sub school wear their house colours, get involved and get active! A wide range of HPE activities were accomplished today including dance, bike and scooter riding, stretching and ball games, athletics, Tai Chi, yoga and even the preparation of healthy meals to share with family.
Great work everyone!

We recently celebrated the National Literacy Week's 'Dress Up as your Favourite Book Character Day'.
Whether at home or at school, apart from having fun dressing up, we did lots of cool literacy and numeracy activities based on our book characters.
Thank you to our teachers for organising our activities. We had a great time and can't wait to do this next year!
Secondary Sub School News
JSA are looking to have some feedback and reflection from our students this Term. The reflection could be on learning tasks, experiences working remotely as well as reflections on what they want to achieve in the next year.
Next Term we will be sharing the JSA Career Action Plan (CAP) with all students and families so we can support you all to be part of the journey to help your child realise their potential. We will discuss the CAPs during our Term 4 SSG’s. All Year 7-12 students in Victoria have a CAP that is revisited throughout the year. Please contact me if you would like some more information on the CAP process.
