Harmony Day and Ride to School Day

What a fabulous day!  Children rode bikes and scooters, wore orange and celebrated being fit and healthy, and the diversity in their classrooms and community.  The staff and children enjoyed being part of the ride around the school event and doing different activities in their classrooms.  A huge thank you to Mrs Nerelle Phillips and Mrs Carol Perry who did an amazing job of getting everything in place for the day.

Interschool Athletics

Next week selected Year 3-6 children will represent the school at the Interschool Athletics Carnival against Currambine, Connolly and Beaumaris primary schools.  The event is being held at Beaumaris Primary School.

Monday is the morning of jumps and throws and Thursday will be running races and team games.  If your child is competing, please come along and cheer for the school.  Remember that the children in the teams need to be at school at 7.30am so that we are ready to leave at 8.00am.  Please meet in the undercover area.  

Winning faction 

On Wednesday we will be giving out icecreams to the winning faction.  At this point in time, Blue are in front but Red is very close behind.  If your children are hoarding faction tokens at home or they in the bottom of their school bag, please encourage them to bring them to school.  Green and Gold have some ground to make up!

End of the school day

Please remember the end of the school day is 3.00pm.  There are some times when families are going to be late (which we get) but the office is getting an increasing number of phone calls about children who need to go home minutes before 3.00pm.  We make every effort to locate children and have them at the office but it is unrealistic if the arrangements are last minute or so close to the siren that we can’t locate them quickly.  Please only pick up children if there is a legitimate reason.

ANZAC Day ceremony

Joondalup Schools will be holding their ANZAC Day ceremony on Wednesday 21 April 2021 at 9.15am.  Please mark your diary and come along.

Tug of War

On Wednesday we did our faction Tug of War and it was lots of fun.  It was great to see the Year 6s in their last Tug of War event and the staff finished off the day with a show of strength.  Congratulations to all of the children who participated, cheered for their teams and displayed excellent behaviour.  The results of the Tug of War will be announced at the Faction Carnival in Term 3 as these points will be added on at that event.
