We appreciate everything you are doing for your children in this very challenging time with the NSW State Covid Lockdown. We will keep you informed when the Department of Education notify us with updated information.
Well done to all our competitors at the SRPSSA Athletics Carnival which was held on the 28th July. Thank you to all parents for helping the students attend on an extremely cold day!! Special mention to Jesse Cheney in the 11 years discus, where he was placed second, with a throw of 17.48m! Great work also to our relay team, Caitlin, Charlotte, Jesse and Milly who came Third in the PP6 Norm & Elizabeth Austen Relay.
All students have enjoyed their first 2 sessions of Bluearth. Students program activities included:
- Everybody’s it/memory tag/memory ball
- Tennis ball coordination
- Aeroplane Pose – focus on being really aware of self and noticing what we are doing to help with our balance e.g. looking at something still, being quiet, blocking distractions.
Thank you to the P&C for organising a Pie Drive. We appreciate everyone who has supported this very successful fundraiser. All the orders will be delivered on Thursday 26th and Friday 27th August and are to be picked up at school or the Henty Bakery.
