Dear Families

It’s been a really busy last few weeks. All families will receive report cards on Thursday next week. If you have any concerns please take the opportunity to discuss this with the class teacher.

We welcome a number of new students to our school who have enrolled in the last few weeks. Thank you to the students in the various classes who have supported and made them feel welcome.

Camps

Year 3 students will get the opportunity to participate in a 1 night/1 day camp at AFL MAX.

Classes will attend the camp from Tuesday 2nd September – Wednesday 3rd September (Term 3, Week 7).

Further information will be distributed once numbers are confirmed. It’s great to provide these opportunities to our students and be received in such a positive manner.

Facilities

We have finally installed the new drink fountain next to the canteen. This was partially funded by winning a competition held by Port Plaza in 2024. It looks fantastic. Thanks to everyone who contributed to supporting our school at Port Plaza.

Next week we have the opportunity to move new furniture and resources into our new learning spaces in building 3. Students will not be able to access the building until next term, however the year 4-6 teachers will be busy setting up.

This is a great space for our older learners. Staff will be working with our students about the values and expectations that will be required when they move in.

We expect the lift and the main entrance to building 3 to be available when school returns in Term 3.

We can’t wait to open the doors and for you all to see the amazing learning spaces we have created.

It’s been an exciting start to the year in Performing Arts! Across all year levels, students have been exploring music, drama and dance through fun and hands-on activities. We have focused on building rhythm and teamwork skills using body percussion, clapping games, cup rhythms, ukulele, recorder, xylophones, drums and singing. In some classes, students have begun developing their drama skills through roleplay and movement activities, with lots of creative ideas and plenty of laughs along the way. It’s been great to see everyone getting involved and growing in confidence.

Outside the classroom, there’s been plenty happening too! Our new school choir is up and running for students in Years 4, 5 and 6, with performances at the Reconciliation Week assembly and a visit to our local kindy to sing with the little ones. Another highlight this term was our Year 6 students performing a bucket drumming routine at assembly—what a fantastic way to showcase their hard work and rhythm skills!

Instrumental music lessons are going strong, with students learning a range of instruments including flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone and percussion. We will be holding a mid-year intake for percussion students, so please get in touch if your child is keen to start lessons. Some of our instrumental students have also joined the Hub Band, rehearsing with other local schools in preparation for a combined performance later this year under the Orb outside the Entertainment Centre—what an opportunity!

We’re really proud of all the creativity and effort students have shown this semester in Performing Arts!

Year 6’s Take Over The Library

Well what a different first half of the year it has been for the Year 6’s! While our old classrooms have been getting renovated both Year 6 classes joined together to call the library home for two terms. Although it was a tight squeeze, it has been a great first half to the year and we have all enjoyed our time ‘taking over the library'. It didn’t come without challenges, but all the students are to be commended for their resilience and ability to adapt to a very new and different situation. As the term comes to a close, we sure are all very excited to be moving into our brand new classrooms next term!
