Principal's column
Welcome to our Week 7 newsletter – I am amazed at how quickly time has flown this term and towards the final few weeks of the year. There are a number of fabulous end of year celebrations on the calendar and we will be posting a regular up-date of events via Facebook and Instragram so that you are kept informed about what is happening for the remainder of the year.
2023
I am delighted to announce that I will return in Term 1 as Principal of our amazing school. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know our wonderful staff, students and families over this short time and I am working with our Leadership Team and staff to ensure that 2023 starts strongly and that we continue to focus on achieving the very best outcomes for our learners.
Sensational Science!
I had a special visit from class 2W recently, who have been learning how we use materials for different purposes by investigating properties of various liquids, solids and gases, such as sugar, oil, essence, coconut, choc chips etc.
They made predictions about adding these to water and followed these with written observations using scientific language, knowledge and understanding!
For their assessment they completed predictions and observations about assorted toppings they had added to ice-cream and then shared their findings with myself and Ms Marszalek.
Then …. they had the pleasure of devouring the experiments! Winning!
Day for Daniel
It was a delight to see so many families helping to raise awareness of child safety in our community. Thank you everyone.
