Arts & Academics Frenzy!
What a great start to the week! We have been extremely impressed with our students’ participation and enthusiasm so far at our annual (and much anticipated!) Arts & Academics Festival! We look forward to the many more events on our calendar this week.
Term 2 Running Club
All students in Kindy to Year 6 and their families are encouraged to join Miss Uglow on the Primary Green every Thursday morning to run as many laps around the Green as you can! 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.
We will meet on the Primary Green every THURSDAY morning from 8.00am – 8.25am. Come dressed in your sport uniform or normal school uniform and running shoes. You can still participate even if you are not dressed in your sport uniform! Everyone is welcome – you do not need to sign up to participate in this club. Run at your own pace and come and go as you please. Parents/guardians and younger siblings are encouraged to join in too.

RUNNING CLUB MILESTONES
We are very excited to announce that we are introducing milestone badges to celebrate individual student contributions and achievements in the Primary Running Club. These exciting new awards will recognise students who have shown outstanding commitment and dedication over a long period of time. A bronze badge will be awarded to a student who has completed 500 laps, a silver badge will be awarded for 700 laps, and a gold badge will be awarded to a student who has completed 1000 laps.
Congratulations to Caleigh Schoeman (2H) for achieving a ‘Bronze Award’ for completing her 500 lap milestone. Outstanding effort and commitment Caleigh!
OSH CLUB RUNNERS
Students who attend OSH Club on Thursday morning are welcome to come along to Running Club too. Please advise the OSH staff if your child would like to attend running club and a staff member will walk them to our club on the green. Thank you.

Children’s University – Monthly Challenge
CU often posts a Monthly Challenge on its online learning portal. This month, the challenge is called “Window Wonders” and here are the details.
This year’s June Challenge is brought to you by our amazing CU member, Allie! As we cozy up this winter, let’s embrace the beauty outside our windows.
Here’s how to join in:
- Describe the view: Find a comfy spot and look out your window. What’s the light like? What’s the weather doing?
- Draw what you see: Grab some paper, draw a frame as your window, and then create a picture of what you see outside.
- Make a suncatcher: Add some colour to your room by making a suncatcher. Let the sun create beautiful patterns in your space.
You can submit your evidence online or bring it to me at the next passport signing session. There are only five more passport signing sessions before the 2024 Graduation deadline. They will be in the primary forum from 8.15am on the following days:
- Thursday 27 June
- Thursday 1 August
- Thursday 15 August
- Thursday 29 August
- Thursday 12 September
Please keep in mind, the last few often get quite busy with people trying to get all their hours logged in time for graduation.
