healthyStudents in 4/5K are getting to know classmates and keeping our minds fresh and on the job through interactive games, and recognising the importance of fitness for a healthy mind and body.

Jahkai is the student of the week, he is turning 9 this year. He likes hanging out with his friend Leroy and his favourite game is playing football with his brothers after school. Jahkai has a puppy named Jasper and he enjoys eating macaroni pasta with a lemonade while relaxing in his lounge room. When Jahkai gets older he would love to work at a recycling centre where he can fix old mobile phones and laptop computers. Jahkais’ height is 125cm and he is an awesome worker.

Swimming Primary cost updateMr Taylor has made a decision to pay for all pool entry from Week 8 to Week 11, Term 1. For those families who have paid in full, the $12.00 will be adjusted in our new finance system, which will sit in advance for future payments. Please call us if you would like to discuss this further.

Hi to everyone. So much for goodbye to winter. Today was another hot day. The kids don’t seem to care about that and still like to play football and run around. We are approaching the holidays and I hope our families can find a few outdoor things to do. I took the grandkids to the new Italy Bike Park on the weekend and boy was it fun. The tracks start off very easy and you can loop back to the carpark and ride at a level which is suitable to your family. Great fun and it is free. A BMX could ride it easily on the tracks near the car park.Our value this week is HONOUR and the PBL lessons are around behaviour in the toilets.We have been focussing on playground behaviour this week, with an emphasis on Safe and respectful play. When we don’t think that is happening we will sit them all down and talk about the expectations at every chance.

That’s all I have this week. Mr Michael Taylor, Principal.
