A message from our Principal

Welcome back to Term 2!

We have certainly hit the ground running with our Athletics Carnival on the

first day back. Congratulations to all the students who did their best on the

day and thank you to all our parents and friends that volunteered their time

running events and at the canteen. The winning house was Wattle. It was

also great to see new records set on the day.

State Representatives for Swimming

Our students (pictured above) represented the Riverina region at the NSW

PSSA Swimming Championships. We are very proud of our team and their

achievements to represent at this level.

ANZAC Day

Our students (pictured over the page) represented our school community in

the annual ANZAC parade during the holidays. This is such an honour for our

school to be a part of this significant event.

Riverina Dance Festival Success

Our students have been selected for a consecutive year to perform at the

Riverina Dance Festival which will be held in Griffith on Friday 21 June. This

is such an incredible achievement for our girls. They have been practicing

their dance from Term 4 last year and their hard work and dedication has

paid off. Tickets are on sale Monday 13 May. Please contact the Griffith

Regional Theatre booking office on 69628444 or

Learning @ SWPS:

Showing Empathy

Next week we will be focusing on

developing our skills of empathy.

Empathy involves caring for other

people and understanding that I may

feel differently to others about

something. Student thinking may

include:

I will aim to put myself in other

people’s shoes to help me

understand their perspectives.

I will respect other people’s

ideas a comments, even though I

may not agree.

I will pay full attention to others

and listen to them.

I will try to understand other

people’s emotions and thoughts

behind their words.

Through being empathetic, SWPS aims

to bring students closer together,

reduce conflicts and open student’

eyes.
