Dear Parents and Carers
Thank you to Room 8 for such an informative and entertaining assembly this morning. It continues to both impress and amaze me at how articulate our students are. Thank you to Mr Clarke and Miss Bennett for getting the students ready and for teaching them about government in such a fun way.
Thank you to the families who continue to observe the parking and road laws around the school. It is still incredibly busy in the afternoons and your patience is appreciated. I thank our primary school families for not using the staff carpark to pick up or drop off your children. Please keep our children safe by not performing U-turns on Beatty Avenue. Backing into traffic and small children crossing the road is dangerous. Our neighbours across the road are getting frustrated with the number of our parents parking in their driveways – please keep our neighbours’ driveways clear.
Cheerleading Girls
The school have been entertained over the past few weeks with groups of girls teaching themselves some cheerleading routines. We have had fun rehearsing, making pom poms and costumes. Thank you to Joh-anne, Bade, Lara and Shannell, along with their manager Fatima for a brilliant performance yesterday. It was so much fun!!
Basketball Court
After numerous delays our basketball court has been handed over to us. We received $160 000 as an election commitment in the 2021 state election from Hon. Hannah Beazley, MLA, Member for Victoria Park and along with the addition of school funds the basketball court was installed over the recent Christmas holidays. The line marking was completed last weekend. Students and staff are enjoying this very welcome addition to our playground facilities. It replaces our old basketball court, known as the cheese grater. Many a student in the past have had hands and knees scraped on the old court, something that will not be happening on our beautiful new hard (smooth) surface.
Students and staff have been enjoying the new facility.
