As we approach the middle of the term, the weather has certainly begun to change,

greeting students with cool, wet and windy conditions on Friday. Regardless of the

conditions, the activities across the campus continue to increase with the swimming

program continuing and the dance program being undertaken on Monday and Tuesdays

by the students from Pre Primary to Year 5. The dance concerts will be occurring on

Monday 25 June and Thursday 28 June, beginning at 2.00pm.

Parents are reminded that our School Development Day is on Friday 1 June (this

coming Friday) and it will be a pupil-free day. Students are not to come to school on that

day. Please also note that Monday 4 June is a public holiday (WA Day) and the school will

be closed. School will begin again on Tuesday 5 June with pyjama day for a gold coin

donation.

Our older students have been working hard practising in a number of sports in preparation

for the upcoming sporting carnivals, including the League Tag carnival, the Eagles Cup

fixtures and also the Winter Carnival. Mr Brooks, Mrs London, Mrs West and Mr Smeed

have been out there training and helping the students to hone their skills.

Meanwhile our choir continues to practise regularly, as they prepare for the children’s

“Act, Commit, Belong” music festival being held in the Octagon Theatre at the University

of Western Australia later this term. Mr Davey has the choir working enthusiastically as a

team, developing their confidence and their skills in the lead up to this annual event. We

wish them well. They will be performing on 13 June and after their choral performance

they will have a relaxing lunch in Kings Park. It is wonderful to have a choir that provides

our students with musical opportunities and the chance to perform in front of a large

audience.

Congratulations to all the Honour Award winners at the Senior Assembly last week, which

was one again led by our talented and confident student leaders. I am always proud and

pleased to see our leaders in the school doing so well and completing these tasks with

aplomb. Similarly, I have been impressed with our hardworking sports leaders who work

closely with Mr Brooks every day to help prepare resources and playing areas for our

physical education classes.
