Student Success:
We have had a lot of student success over the past two weeks. The Stage 2 excursion to Sydney was a wonderful learning opportunity with students enjoying the day. Year 2 have had an amazing time at swim school over the past week and will continue to progress in their swimming ability this week. Our Year 5 students visited Warners Bay High last week to experience the Year 7 for a Day program. It is wonderful that we had so many students in our community over the past two weeks and all of them were wonderful ambassadors for our school.
Connecting to Country:
Last week we had several staff members participate in the Connecting to Country training. This training, held by the Kumaridha Aboriginal Education Consultative Group is an authentic opportunity to connect with the local Aboriginal culture and bring that understanding into our school.
Check In Assessments:
The Year 6 students participated in the Year 6 check in assessments today. These assessments, in literacy, numeracy and writing, provide us with important information on how students are progressing with their learning. Year 3, 4 and 5 will complete the assessments early next term.
PBL Reward Day:
This Friday our students will have their PBL Reward Day to recognise all students who have received gotchas over the past term. There are many activities for the students to choose from, including games on the field, handball, karaoke and dancing, art, board games, dodgeball, craft activities. For those who have received 20 gotchas, they will be invited to a pizza party.
Holidays:
This Friday is the last day of Term 3. I would like to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday break. We look forward to seeing you on the first day of Term 4. Students will return to school on Monday 9th October.
