April - May 2024
Year 4 to 6 students recently participated in the annual inter-house Cross Country Carnival. Students are congratulated for their comradery, their team spirit and their outstanding behaviour on the day. The winning house with the most points accumulated from student participation, is Dhagun and it is my pleasure to announce our 2024 Cross Country Age Champions: Hugo and Isabel (9 Years); Ava and Toby (10 Years); Jenna and Flynn (11 Years); Ellie and Lucas (12 Years); Chloe and Zac (13 Years).
At the end of Term 1, our annual swim-a-thon was held in partnership with the P&C. Students in Years 3-6 were challenged to swim as many laps as they could in their PE lesson, as a celebration of learning at the end of their Term 1 Water Safety and Swimming Education unit and with the aim to raise money for the P&C's fundraising goal of purchasing a new heater for the school pool. HPE Teacher, Mrs Singh reported that the total number of laps swum for the week was an impressive 9,785 laps, that's 244.625 kilometres! Classes who swam the most laps in their lessons were 3C in their one hour lesson, and 6A in their half hour lesson. Well done to all students who swam in this year's swim-a-thon and thank you to all families who contributed to the P&C's fundraiser.
I look forward to welcoming parents and caregivers to our Open Day on Thursday, 23 May. The Open Day will be held in the school's MPB (hall), commencing at 9am and concluding at 10:30am. 2025 Prep enrolment packs will be available for collection at the MPB and families are able to join a tour with Senior students. More information is available on the school's website.
Warm Regards,
Joanne Nicholls
