Celebrating Student Learning

Feast Day Celebrations - Kaboom Sports

Last Friday, Kaboom Sports and a Subway lunch provided an exciting, all-school event. Students demonstrated incredible engagement in all of the enjoyable activities that Luke, Sam, and Tara offered.  We were quite fortunate that during our Kaboom celebration, the sun shone through, and the rain held over.  We appreciate all our friends and family members who came with chairs and picnic blankets so they could watch the events and eat lunch together. An excellent way to cap off the week while honouring our Feast Day. 

Book Week

Each year, across Australia, the Children’s Book Council of Australia brings children and books together celebrating Children’s Book Week. Throughout the year, the CBCA works in partnership with authors, illustrators, publishers, booksellers and other organisations in the children’s book world to bring words, images and stories into the hearts and minds of children and adults. On Friday, August 23, we will have our Book Week Dress Up Day. All students and families are invited to dress up in their favourite book character. We are having a special assembly commencing at 9:00 am in Allen Hall, and families are welcome to attend.

Student Feedback

Congratulations to 2EM on your participation in our Healthy Harold session. You participated well and were engaged throughout. It was great to see the connection between the Safety Rules sessions and our Resilience Project lesson this week.

Fantastic work to all students for their enthusiasm and participation in Kaboom Sports. It was great to see you all having fun, showing great team work and enjoying working with students from different levels. 

Awesome job to all the Year 6 leaders who led all the Kaboom activities. You displayed great leadership and role modeling by encouraging your team to have a go and do their best! Fantastic work!

Great work to all the Write a Book in a Day team for going around this week to all the classes during your eating time to run your Lucky Dip fundraiser. You did a great job promoting this great cause and taking the initiative to raise money for our Write a Book in a Day event. 

It was terrific to see Year 3 soccer boys helping each other during playtime. You showed empathy and followed the school rules. Thank you Year 3 boys!  

Well done to the Year 5 students for supporting and encouraging the younger students in our KABOOM sports. It was terrific to have other students share how you showed leadership during this event.
