A message from our Principal Learning SWPS

Imitation

Next week we will be focusing on

developing our skills of imitation

Imitation involves learning from

other people by copying their

actions

Student thinking may include

I can learn by watching other

people

I can picture myself doing

that

I think your strategy will work

for me

I will learn from other

peoplersquos ideas

Through imitation SWPS aims to

help students learn from each

other

Tournament of Minds

A group of students have been working hard this term perfecting their performance for Tournament of Minds This year their challenge was to rewrite The Wizard of Oz in the context of their own town state or country This is an exciting opportunity for students as they develop many collaborative and performance skills Well done to our team who performed at Sturt Public School on the weekend

Our boys team travels to Sydney to compete in the AFL PSSA competition on Monday We have made the top 4 in the state We wish the boys and Mr Livio the very best in the upcoming competition Thank you to our parents who are supporting their travel

FC Cup

Both the boys and girls teams participated in the knockout last Monday The boys were outstanding having to play most of the game a goal down The game proceeded into extra time and then a penalty shootout The girls fought brilliantly for the full game and were unlucky not to come away with the win

Electricity Safety Week This week was Electricity Safety week Our students were very fortunate to have a visit from Julian and Darren who work with Essential Energy They reminded us just how important it is to pay attention to where power lines are when wersquore outside and to make sure we are aware of where we use electrical products in our houses The men brought along some of the special clothing they need to wear to help them to stay safe when working with electricity and impressed the school with the 13 metre height of the bucket on their bucket truck Thank you Essential Energy
