It has been another exciting and productive week at Plattsburg, filled with rich learning opportunities, special events, and celebrations of our wonderful school community.
Our Stage 2 excursion to Glenrock was a massive success! It was fantastic to see our students so engaged, curious, and eager to participate in this excellent learning experience. The smiles, teamwork, and enthusiasm from the day truly reflected the best of Plattsy spirit.
A big thank you to Miss Chrystie for helping coordinate our new Student Representative Council (SRC) program. We are looking forward to seeing the enthusiasm from students who are keen to take on a leadership role and contribute to our school’s decision-making and activities. This is an exciting opportunity for our young leaders to shine.
In classrooms, we continue to make great progress with our Sounds Write program. All our K–2 staff have been speaking so positively about the impact it is having on student learning and engagement in literacy. I’m also looking forward to our 3–6 staff completing their professional learning in the program, ensuring a consistent and high-quality approach to literacy across the school.Next week is shaping up to be another busy one at Plattsburg:
- Jump Rope for Heart begins, promising a fun and active day for our kids while also promoting fitness and heart health.
- Our Spelling Bee will be held – thank you to Miss Anne for coordinating this exciting competition that encourages our students to challenge themselves.
- We welcome our newest families at the Kindergarten Orientation Picnic, marking the start of their Plattsburg journey.
- Water Safety talks will be delivered to students – thank you to Miss Jasmine for organising this important program to keep our kids safe and aware around water.
As always, if you have any questions or would like to know more about what’s happening at Plattsburg, please contact our school office.
