Housing Assignment Page

Our latest Unit of Inquiry assignment has been a great challenge for the children. The children have used a range of different methods to present their work and we want to share it with you.
Check out our page of assignments and see what has been accomplished.

Book Week 2013

Book week 2013 begins this week. This Friday the children have an opportunity to participate in the school dress up. While not officially mentioned in the school newsletter, Senior Unit students are able to dress in a costume of a book character.
The Senior Unit teachers discussed with the children what would be appropriate and what wouldn't. We reminded the students that jeans and a tshirt etc is not enough. (It isn't a casual day)
For those who want to participate, enjoy and we look forward to seeing great costumes.

A link below has been added that shows the books that have been short listed for 2013.

Extended Learning.

As part of extended learning in the Senior Unit some children have been involved in the $50 challenge. It is a great challenge for children to display some entreperneurial skills as they try to reach a goal of $50.

We hope to keep you updated as the children continue their ventures.

Crows Visit

On Friday afternoon we had a visit from an Adelaide Crows. Mitch Grigg came to the school and spoke about his first games, what it's like to be a part of the Crows and also answered some questions form the children.
It was interesting to hear about what it takes to be an AFL player.
Prizes were awarded to a class and a student for completing a food journal.
An informative way to end the week.
