Work Hard Play Hard
Fri, Nov 29th, 2024
Year 4 have been in the thick of assessments this week, working so hard on their 20 minutes of Danger! Narrative. We have also started a 'House Cup' to encourage teamwork and participation during games and activities this week too!
Welcome to Week 8!
Beach Safety (PDHPE): Students will participate in a Beach/Water Safety Program at Greenmount Beach. This involves all students from Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 travelling to the beach on Monday and Friday in weeks 8 & 9. The students will be taken through beach safety talks (flags, signs they will see, how to identify rips, what to do if they get in trouble, simple beach rules), and participate in beach games. They will participate in structured water activities in the shallow water between the flags. All information is included in the Compass Notification. Dates: Monday 2/12, Friday 6/12, Monday 9/12 and Friday 13/12. Check out the social story in the parent resource tab for some extra info on how the day will run!
Beach Safety Parent Helper Roster: A big shoutout to everyone who has volunteered to help our Week 8 and 9 Beach Safety program. We have attached the roster for volunteers in the 'parent resource' tab. If you’re unable to attend on your allocated day, please notify the school as soon as possible. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated!
Step-Up Day: On Tuesday, 3rd December, our students will participate in Step-Up Day, spending a morning in Year 5 as part of their transition for 2025. This will be a morning filled with fun and allow the children to meet their new teachers and become familiar with their new classroom for next year.
Christmas Carols: Our annual Christmas Carols will take place in Week 9 (December 12th).
Swimming Carnival: In week 9 we are also looking forward to our Swimming Carnival at the Kingscliff Pool. We have a flyer in the parent resource tab for more information.
