Kaya, Parents & Community Members,

The excitement around swimming lessons commencing this week has been palpable and the enthusiasm of our student from Pre-primary to Year 4 truly infectious.  The attitude and endeavour of those participating has been impressive.

This week we welcomed our new Student Wellbeing Officer to our school. Following a successful request, we have been able to access a Wellbeing Officer in-lieu of a Chaplain for the future.  Monique Crabtree, also known as Mrs. C, has worked in a number of schools, supporting children with a wide range of needs.  I know our community will welcome Mrs C with open arms and confident in the positive reception she will receive.

And finally, I look forward to seeing all families during our Learning Journey next week, i.e. Wednesday, August 23 at 3.15pm to 5.00pm.  A golden opportunity for your children to showcase the wonderful work they have produced in recent times.

Last week in Minecraft Club, students were challenged to build a Spaceship. Engaging in spaceship-building challenges within the Minecraft Club not only ignites students' creativity and critical thinking skills, but also fosters teamwork and problem-solving abilities as they collaborate to construct intricate and imaginative interstellar vessels.

Room 1 and 2 have been learning about Information Reports, in writing. We created line drawings to show our knowledge of the Quenda.

Mrs Murdock was impressed in these wonderful works of art.

Glengarry put in our usual great team effort against seven other schools in our district.

 Our team is always made up of a mixed group, mainly children who do not train in Athletics, so we are particularly proud to have so many, courageous efforts.

The Year 6 boys were drenched and some children found out just how hard they can push themselves.

 The race is always very fast due to the numbers of children who race regularly.

 We had three children with medallions for placing:_

 1st Alex K Year 6 Boys

2nd Willow L  Year 5 Girls

2nd Charlton W Year 3 Boys

Well done Glengarry Cross Country Team!!
