Dear Parents and Carers,
The week ends with two very positive pieces of information about our School, which I must share with you.
Registration
The first bit of good news is that the registration inspector, with whom my colleagues and I spoke at the end of last week, were more than satisfied with the documentation that we provided and the conversations we had to support this.
Dear Parents and Carers,
The last few days have certainly been something of a roller coaster of emotions and experiences, not least because several of us attended the funeral service, on Friday, of the Reverend Doug Murray. We also had involvement in the Music Festival, WA Surfing Championships, Science Week and registration preparation.
How to help your child reach their potential
All parents want the best for their children and hope that they will grow up to be the best they can possibly be. While reaching potential is certainly aspirational, it’s important that the focus is firmly placed on the individual.
Five backyard experiments to encourage a love of science
Science plays an increasingly vital role in our lives. It helps us to understand the world, drives innovation and new technology and promotes environmental conservation and positive change. Science also harnesses a child’s natural curiosity and so enhances a zest for learning that can be applied across all subject areas.
Dear Parents and Carers,
A week of wet and windy weather has certainly created a frisson of energy and activity in the week just past.
The School Photograph
The weather certainly contributed to the variety inherent in a photo day, with an attempt at a whole-school photo outside abandoned as the wind and hail overcame even the most stalwart souls.
Dear Parents and Carers,
August already and some wintry weather the likes of which I left Scotland to avoid! Nonetheless it has not detracted from the many good things that can be recognised in our community.
Canberra Camp
One of these ‘good things’ were the experiences gained on the Canberra camp, which were documented on SEQTA in the daily ‘blog’. Both Ms Gregory and Mr Clayton (to whom thanks are due for running the trip) waxed lyrical about the responsible and engaged behaviour of the Year 9 students, who enjoyed a richly varied programme.
