money for Mrs Wain, Ms

Longley and Ms Doyle to

support teachers to

implement the WA

digital skills coming to

classes next term!!

Last but not least, we

wish Miss Cotton all

What a fantastic end to

Term 2, with some

amazing events being run

to showcase the dance

and athletic ability of

Caralee kids!! All term,

our Year 6 students,

supported by children

from other year groups,

have competed in

football, soccer and

netball. All teams have

had success over the

course of the term and

our Fever Cup netball

team will be competing

for the cup this Friday

against Riverton PS who

are also undefeated for

the term. We wish all

out teams the best of

luck. The

dance skill on display at

the Caralee Dance

Concert were again

fantastic. Ms Longley and

Taylah worked hard all

term to provide fantastic

lessons based on The Arts

(Dance) WA Curriculum.

Our kids embraced the

lessons and put on a

fantastic show.

Teachers and Education

Assistants have been

working hard across all

areas of the curriculum

this semester and this is

reflected in the

wonderful progress I

have read about in all

school reports going

home this week. It is

important for parents to

note that the concept of a

‘C’ grade or ‘Satisfactory’

has evolved since we

went to school. A ‘C’ or

‘Satisfactory’ grade

equates to your child

knowing and

demonstrating ALL that is

required and expected

for a child of that year

level in terms of the

material covered. Parents

and children receiving

these grades should be

pleased with this

achievement. Equally as

important are the marks

given for ‘effort’ in each

subject areas assessed

around trying your best. I

look for which children

are consistently working

hard in these areas.

As we head into the

second half of the year,

there are some exciting

projects that will

commence around the

school. Part of Peter

Tinley’s election

commitment was to

provide a Nature Play

space for our Early

Childhood area, given our

senior children enjoy daily

the Nature Play provided

by the P&C.

Our P&C continue to

support our school with

Hi Parents and Caregivers

Here's a great article with some really useful insight into some effective ways we can help our kids.

Parenting can be a very challenging task at times, and some information from others, who have gone before us, can be a great support. Happy reading!
