Week 5 - Halfway Point

Good morning,

 Welcome to Week 5...it has been such a busy term and the students have been handling themselves brilliantly. I am very impressed with the mature and responsible ways in which they are conducting themselves.

 Leadership Retreat - We enjoyed a fantastic day with Mrs Sue Barton who ran our Leadership Retreat on Wednesday. The students found the activities interesting and engaging and could see the connection to situations at school in which they could act as a leader. Sue played the students the song "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson which acted as a great reflection opportunity for the students. We have had the song playing a few times in class now...it seems to have become our anthem!

 There was a wide range of activities undertaken by the students in which they had a chance to show their personal leadership as well as enjoy the leadership of others.

 Thank you for the amazing lunch that you provided...the student felt very spoilt! There are a few platters and things here in class if you are still missing them.








Peron Reserve - On Friday Mrs Mary Hughes came in to speak with us about the important work being done around the preservation of Peron Reserve.




Every year the students from Year 6 spend an hour with Mrs Hughes learning about the Reserve and oiling the observation deck. This will be happening this year on the 11th March. A note will be sent home this week. You will need to sign and return the permission slip attached. Any parents that may be available to help would be warmly welcomed!

Good afternoon, Welcome to Week 6...I can't believe how quickly the term is getting away from us! Notes - Graduation Dinner, iMovie Night & Adventure World Thank you to those who have returned notes.

Term 1, Week 9

Hi Parents and students, What a great weekend to be down south! So special to be able to witness such a unique swell direction and see the whole coastline light up. Can’t wait for the next cyclone swell in 9 years! Affirmation of the Week: Camp: I am still on the hunt for some dad volunteers for the Year 6 camp. Let me know if you are interested. Chrism Mass: Please make sure your child has brought their permission slip into me tomorrow morning. Some children have suggested that they have misplaced their note. I have said to them to have Mum or Dad write a note that they give them permission to travel by bus, to and from St Patrick’s Cathedral in Bunbury. Please refer to the ‘Chrism Mass Blog’ for any other info. Holy Week: The Year 5’s and 6’s will be presenting their part of Holy Week celebrations on Wednesday morning at 9:00am in the hall. We will be looking at the events that occurred on Good Friday. This means we will be looking at all the Stations of
