TA9 are enjoying their new class!

Once again we have had an extremely busy, eventful

and positive term at Peg’s Creek.

Please take the opportunity to reflect on some of our

achievements and celebrations for the term. Most

recently, we managed to get our beautiful school back

in order after Cyclone Veronica. We survived the

chaos of interm swimming lessons, our student

leaders recently attended their annual leadership day

at the Leisureplex, we celebrated the National Day of

Anti-Bullying with a successful whole school read and

Buddy Class activities, took time to acknowledge

Harmony Day by wearing orange, we held another

extremely successful Easter raffle raising funds for

the Year 6 camp to Broome next term.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my

amazing staff. I know many parents have taken up an

invitation to meet with their children's teachers during

the term. From these meetings you will be aware of

the complexities each class has, the time the teachers

take to plan their curriculum to engage, enthuse and

progress each individual in their care. Please continue

to communicate closely with your child's teacher,

either in person or via emails and telephone calls. Our

support staff also work tirelessly behind the scenes

ensuring that staff, students and parents are always

supported to the best of our abilities at Peg’s Creek

Primary.

EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AND LEARNING LEADERSHIP

CYCLONE VERONICA CLEAN UP

I would like to thank our school community for their

amazing patience and understanding with the closure

of our school after the cyclone. Unfortunately, we

cannot open if there are any safety concerns. Due to

the age of our school, we always have debris from our

beautiful trees. Thanks to Northwest Tree Lopping and

Turf Guru. We were able to salvage part of our

beautiful mahogany for the students to enjoy. A huge

thank you to our amazing gardener Andy Bradshaw

who has done an awesome job in preparing our school

to reopen.

YOUNG LEADERS DAY

This year our Leadership Day was held at the

Leisureplex on April 1. Our Prefects and Faction

Leaders attended the conference where they worked

in teams with the student leaders from all other

Karratha schools.

Thank you to Mrs Nichole Smith, who accompanied our

school team.

Our school will be holding a special ANZAC Service on

Friday 12th April commencing at 8.30am. Class

The Prefects will also be representing our school at the

City of Karratha ANZAC service on April 25th. The
