2024 Disco
Our youngest movers and groovers tore up the dance floor at this years disco, last Friday evening. Dancing to the latest hits, as well as some classics like the Macarena.
A huge thank you to all the Parent Reps who coordinated the disco, as well as the team of volunteers who helped ensure all those who attended had a memorable time.

There will not be a passport stamping session this Thursday as I will be away on Year 12 Retreat. The next passport stamping session will be Thursday 13 June.
In the meantime, here is an activity from portal to keep you busy.
Learn your name in Morse Code
Morse is named after Samuel Morse, one of the inventors of the electrical telegraph. What is an electrical telegraph? Think long-distance communication using sounds or signals as letters to send a code rather a physical message exchange. Morse code has been used for 160+ years but is quite different today from when it was originally developed by Samuel Morse.
For this activity, use your research skills to find the international morse code and then make a video of you and one other person communicating your names to each other using only a torch. Upload the video on the portal, email it to me or bring it to show me at the next passport stamping session.
This activity is worth a stamp and one hour in your Passport.

No matter what your ability is, come on down to earn House points, improve your fitness, build your confidence and run your way towards a healthier lifestyle.
Each participating individual will be given their own Running Club lapathon card to count their laps every week. Runners will earn 1 Running Club House Point for every lap they complete around the Primary Green. Running Club lapathon cards must be left with Miss Uglow at the end of each session.
