Week 6 Term 2, 2025

SAPSASA AFL – Year 6 students

Congratulations to Sid C, Tom P, Hamish S and Bentley C who participated in the SAPSASA AFL competition last week in Adelaide. The Northern Areas Team won 1 game in the competition. We commend these students for their selection in the team and are proud of them all for taking part.

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

Congratulations to all of our students who have been participating in Jump Rope for Heart program so far this term. We will be hosting a “jump off” morning soon for our students to showcase their skipping skills. Keep an eye out on the next newsletter for a day and time.

Well done to all the students who have taken on the initiative to raise vital funds for the heart foundation online. So far students from our school have raised over $1500.

UNIFORM COMMITTEE UPDATE

The Uniform Committee recently met to continue discussions around the next steps in our ongoing review process. It has become clear, following feedback and reflection, that there are a few items within our current uniform that require closer examination.

At this recent meeting, we were fortunate to explore a range of sample pieces from various suppliers. While these initial samples were helpful, we still have more 'research' and comparison work ahead of us before we are in a position to make any recommendations or decisions to share with the broader parent community.

A special thank you must go to Judy Walkington for the time and effort she has already invested in this process. Judy has made numerous phone calls to suppliers and uniform representatives and will continue to play a key role as we move forward.

We appreciate the community’s patience and support as we work through this important process and will continue to keep families informed as it progresses. A reminder that any changes will not come into effect until 2026 and there will be a transition period.

In literacy this term we have been learning about information books – books to teach your reader. We have explored lots of different information books on a range of topics and have been thinking about things the authors do in each one.   We know that authors use headings, contents and index pages, and page numbers to organise their writing, and sometimes use diagrams to show the different parts of something.

We have been working on our own information books on the following topics:

Isla C – Minions

Darcy – Minions

Bambi – Rainbows

Jamie – Cricket

Andrew – Sea animals

Eddie – trucks

Charlie – Ninjini

Zephyr – Dinosaurs

Ava – Evalyn

Macy - Minions
