Dear Parents and Community Members,
STEM Showcase
What a wonderful start to Term 4 we have had with our annual STEM Showcase. This year, our focus was Indigenous Perspectives, and it was truly enjoyable experience to walk through all the classroom to see their STEM learning. The children seemed very eager and proud to show their learning to family members and it was great that children and their families could see STEM learning at other year levels in their respective classrooms.
A sincere thank you to the many family members who were able to be present and be an audience for the children’s learning and valuing what they do at school. A huge thank you to all the teachers who worked so hard to set up all the displays and for Ms Condo’s leadership in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM).
Year 4 Camp
Last week, I helped supervised the Year 4 students at their camp. This year we went to a new venue called Adare in Victor Harbor. What a joy were the Year 4 children! It gave me an insight of how much they are maturing in their capacity to relate to one another and have a go at new activities. They took part in all the activities with enthusiasm, a sense of fun and looked after each other. They were respectful and the person who prepared and served the food said we were the best group of children he had in the last 7 months.
A special mention to Eddie G. for supporting other children at camp. While I was supervising his group Eddie supported other children who had become upset and bringing them back into the activities. Very proud of you Eddie!
Thank you to Tim Krieg, Kelsey George, Rebecca Everett, Matthew Hiern, Aidan Brigden, Nicholas Guidolin, Catia Frasca and Mel Corbett who joined me in looking after and caring for our wonderful Year 4 students.
Volunteer Morning Tea
On Monday, we aligned our All Saints’ Day Community Prayer, to acknowledge our volunteers who in many ways live in a saintly way. Unfortunately, attendance was low so I am keen to look for ways that we can gather more volunteers in future. It was important for our students to take the time to be grateful for our many volunteers who help our school in so many ways.
On behalf of our school community, I would like to thank you all for the way you contribute this our school community enabling children to play sport of the school, read with the children, helps supervise on excursions and support events through Parents and Friends and support the School Board.
Movie Night
On Friday the 14th of November, our Parents and Friends have organised a Movie Night for our school community. This is always a special time for children and their families as we gather in our school yard. I would like to thank our Chairperson of the Parents and Friends Lina Sotiropoulos and the parents on the committee who are organising this event for all of us. I encourage you all to support this event.
Kind Regards
Frank Congedi
