Principal’s Report
It has been another quiet week on the school front.
There were no sporting events this week, though we
congratulate our students who participated in at the
regional
swimming carnival last week.
Year 5 and 6 students ventured to the high school this week
to
take part in science experiments using circuits and
electricity.
Thankfully they all returned to us in one piece, and saying
how much they enjoyed the opportunity to work in the labs.
Year 3 and 4 students participated in a Healthy Soils
Healthy
Farms workshop this week looking at how important soil
management and conservation is to the overall health of the
environment.
To maintain a high standard of teaching and learning our As-
sistant Principals are working again this week with teaching
staff to conduct lesson observations and offer support
around
teaching and learning programs. It is a credit to our staff
how
willing they are to work with their line managers, and
peers,
to improve their professional practice.
Have a great weekend
Jonathan Harvey
Principal
