Welcome to Term 3:
Welcome to Term 3! I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable break! We are looking forward to this term, with many wonderful events on the calendar including Book Week Parade, Grandparents Day and Public Education Week!
Student Success:
A massive congratulations to Liam who recently competed at the National Swimming Championships! He had a fantastic carnival winning a gold medal in the 4 x 50m freestyle relay, gold in the 4 x 50m medley relay, silver in the 200m freestyle, silver in the 50m backstroke, bronze in the 50m freestyle and bronze in the 100m backstroke! Wow! I think we have a future Olympian in our midst! Congratulations to our netball knockout team who competed against Floraville last week. The team lost in an exciting game that was neck and neck until the last quarter. Well done to all team members. Kinder celebrated 100 days of Kindergarten last week. It certainly seemed like Kinder had aged the students quickly, with our Kinder students looking like they had been at school for 100 years!
NAIDOC Week:
This week we are celebrating NAIDOC Week, beginning with our assembly today. Students will be engaged in learning about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture each day this week with a gallery walk being held on Friday for students to showcase their work for others. We also had students, staff and parents attend the Warners Bay High School NAIDOC assembly last Friday to celebrate with our high school counterparts.
Welcome:
This term we welcome Ms Svigilj, an intern from University of Newcastle who will be working with Ms Morton and 1M for the ten weeks.
