Premier’s Reading Challenge

Ethan and Susannah represented Golden Grove Primary School at the Premier’s

Reading Challenge Reception for 2019. Our school was selected for achieving

outstanding participation in the Premier’s Reading Challenge.

The Reception was held at The Sanctuary, Adelaide Zoo. Susannah and Ethan

received a school certificate and selection of books for our school as part of the

presentation from the Premier Steven Marshall and the Minister of Education John

Gardner. They also got to meet PRC Ambassadors such as South Australian author Phil

Cummings.

PRC medals and certificates will be presented to students in Week 7.

Thank you to all the students who participated and Teachers, Parents and Caregivers

for their support. Lorna Crisanti

Congratulations to our 2019 Children’s University

Graduates. We had 26 of our Year 4 to Year 7

committed attitude to pursue their interests and

extra hours of learning outside of school.

The graduation is a celebration to

acknowledge their efforts.

Backpacks for SA Kids

Our school has been a supporter of Backpacks for SA

Kids in recent years - you may remember our huge

collection of goods in 2016.

Two of our students recently put further support behind

this organisation by asking their friends to donate

goods in lieu of birthday presents when they held their

joint 6th birthday party. The generosity of the party

guests was overwhelming and Jack and Charlotte

were able to present the charity with a range of goods

to support children across SA.

Well done Jack and Charlotte!
