Last Thursday, Year 1 visited the Rocks area as part of our History Unit “The Past in the Present” Firstly, we visited the Museum of Contemporary Art and our students compared the different features of the buildings in the past with the new building in the present. Once inside we discovered lots of fun and creative artefacts and artworks.
We ate our lunch sitting on the very old Cumberland Place Steps next to Susannah Place.
After our lunch we visited Susannah Place. Did you know that Susannah Place is a terrace of four houses built by Irish immigrants in 1844? For nearly 150 years these small houses with tiny backyards, basement kitchens were home to more than 100 families.
The parents’ bedroom with a baby cot and the older children slept together in the other bedroom.
Our Year 1 Students playing a game of Quoits in the tiny backyard.
We also visited the Corner Shop and we wore aprons to do our shopping.
Our student discovered a world with-out electricity, water, bathrooms and no toilets. Our guide told us that the children did all the chores around the house.
It was very dark inside Susannah house and in the past the windows and candles were used to light up the house.
Our students sitting in the main room of the house called the Living Room.
We were all happy shoppers and had an informative and extremely enjoyable day.

Principal’s Message
Hi everyone, Welcome to our first fortnightly newsletter. The end of term is near and the next two weeks will fly. Can you believe there was no rain at the Stage 3 camp last week? (see photos in this newsletter) The students and teach-ers had a wonderful time at the Broken Bay Sport and Recreation Camp. Big thanks to the teachers for organizing a wonderful camp experience for our Stage 3 students. Years 1, 2, 3 and 4 all attended excursions last week to the Rocks where they considered Sydney’s history. Thanks to all the teachers for their commitment and organization. Every week the teachers attend a communication meeting and a professional learning meeting. Teachers are par-ticipating in training on the national literacy and numeracy progressions this week. During Term 2 teachers will be using the progressions to improve students’ writing and understanding of number. Next week there are parent –teacher interviews being held everyday. It’s not too late to make an appointment with your class teacher. It is a great opportunity to discuss your child’s academic progress and social/ emotional life at school. See booking details in this newsletter. I hope you can join us for Grandparents’ Day next Wednesday morning and the Walkathon at Bronte Beach the following week, finishing off with the Easter Hat Parade on the last day of term. Have a good week! Catherine Ryan Principal

Our Vision Statement
We Look After our World
At Bronte we:
Know many different ways we can look after our world: by refusing plastic bags

repurposing objects in creative ways and recycling as much as we can.
Respect our home, school and community environments and acknowledge how
fortunate we are to live near such a beautiful gully and so many gorgeous
beaches in Australia!
Truly appreciate the AWEsome world we live in and are doing our best to look
after our world for future generations.
