We had our first assembly for the year last Friday, in addition to our school leaders being presented with their badges. We had asked our School Captains and Vice Captains to prepare a speech for the assembly. Students wrote the speeches themselves and spoke extremely well. It was great to hear from each of them. We all learned a little bit more about these leaders, what their values are and what they are hoping to achieve this year. They are all a great support for our students. It is going to be a great year. An addition to our weekly assembly is “Mystery Person”. Each week a mystery person observes all classes and selects the class that is being most present (sitting beautifully, listening and following instructions) on assembly. The “Mystery Person” will announce the class at the end of the assembly and that class will get to sit on our VIP chairs the following week. Classes were very excited with this feature last week. Congratulations to Prep B who were chosen to be our very first VIPs next week. It was an extremely tough decision for our Mystery Person as all classes were amazing. This Friday, our Rotakids will have their badges presented by special guest from Rotary.

STEM day

I had the pleasure of spending some time at the STEM day last week. All our Year five and six students were amazing and the presenters commented on how engaged in the activities our students were. I got to have a sneak go of the VR googles with a group of our students. The googles enabled us to be right down the bottom of a mining pit where the dump truck are loaded (virtually). This technology enabled students to see what they would not be able to see in the real world. Congratulations to all our year five and six students and their teachers for showing our community how amazing you are.

Dress Code

Each week I am highlighting a component of our school Dress Code.

This week I am highlighting the considerations that were considered when writing our dress code. Please see the dot points on the image to the right that has been extracted from our Dress Code Brochure.

Hats

Before school and at each break we have multiple students coming to the office and the SLAWC (Student Learning and Wellbeing Centre) asking for spare hats. Can we ask that all students come to school with a hat so they can enjoy outside play?
