School Environmental Management Plan - Landscape Update

Over the school holidays another phase of the school’s landscape project was completed. The bottom grass was replaced with a synthetic grass surface with a soccer pitch marked out. Along with this a wet pour area was also included to create a safe and even space as well as another play area. This will be eventually marked with lines for handball courts and or racket games. The students have loved the new space and are very excited to utilise the new area.

Planning is already underway to explore what is feasible for the next school holidays. 

Don’t forget to gather votes from family and friends on the Community Grant. Every little bit will help to complete all the works.

Support from the P & F

New Sports Cage

Thank you to our generous parent community and the P & F, with funds pledged to the school this year we have been able to update and purchase sporting equipment. We have converted one of the cages between the year 6 rooms and toilet block to house our Sports equipment. We have made it weatherproof and have added sturdy shelving too. Thanks to the sports captains who helped me to relocate our sports equipment from the basement room. 

New School Tent  

We have also purchased a new school tent. We were lucky enough to receive it the day before the athletics carnival and therefore it has already been put to good use.

Thank you to the P and F for the funding to support the purchase of the equipment and completion of the project.

Sporting Schools Grants

This term we have received another grant to support the students of our school. This term all students will be attending Gym sports for 4 weeks which we thank Sporting Schools grant for covering the cost for each of the students this term. We were also able to purchase 17 new basketballs with the residue from the basketball grant last term.  Mrs Kirra Calvert

Morning Supervision

Dogs in the Playground

A reminder that due to our duty of care and the safety of others on school grounds, dogs are not allowed onto school property. The only exception would be a certified therapy dog. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Professional Learning - Leadership Conference

Last week Miss Groves, Miss Treble and myself had the privilege to see Dr Brene Brown give a workshop and talk focused on daring leadership. She was inspiring and great to listen to. Her learnings are applicable to leadership but also to every day life. Her theme was Courage over comfort.
