A Message from the Principal
Limelight Art Exhibition
Congratulations to Abel, Jason, Billy and Alex whose artwork was selected by Gene to be dipalyed in the Limelight Art Exhibition this year. The exhibition will showcase artwork from schools across the ACT and students from Preschool to Year 12 will be represented.
Preschool and Courtyard Works
In week 10 of Term 2 the works to replace the uneven concrete in our Preschool commenced to reduce trip hazards. During the holidays the paving in the courtyard was also fixed. We thank everyone for their patience while this was occuring.
Learning Showcases
In the past, we have held a whole school Learning Journey event. This year we are adjusting our approach to align with points in the year when students have significant learning to share and to ensure we are COVID safe. In place of Learning Journeys we will now have Learning Showcases. Parents will be invited to visit classrooms during the semester as students are ready to share their knowledge and skills. These events will be ticketed through SZapp to ensure we are compliant with room capacity limits. Stay tuned for more details throughout the semester!
NAIDOC Week
Last week was officially NAIDOC week however our school is celebrating NAIDOC week this week. The NAIDOC 2021 theme – Heal Country! – calls for all of us to continue to seek greater protections for our lands, our waters, our sacred sites and our cultural heritage. It is an opportunity for all Australians to come together to celebrate the rich history, diverse cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the oldest continuing cultures on the planet.
Celebrating Excellence
Our school wishes to congratulate Dev R in Year 1 for his outstanding achievements in world chess. Dev has demonstrated a huge commitment to developing his skills at the highest level, working his way to the top of under 7 and under 8 age category in Australia. In the under the 7 years category, his world ranking is at No.12 & No. 5 in Asia. Well done on all of your hard work Dev!
