Little Athletics is a fantastic way to keep fit and builds the foundation skills of running, jumping and throwing, which are all transferable to other sports. If your child is interested in participating in Little Athletics outside of school, Joondalup Little Athletics Centre is a fantastic local club – https://www.joondalupathletics.com.au The WA Little Athletics season usually runs from October until March.
We look forward to seeing our students participate in the 2023 Interhouse Athletics Carnival!

Our “Buckets of Love” are back!
Starting Over Support (SOS) are an offshoot of People Who Care. They do not receive any funding and rely on volunteers and donations. They support individuals and families who have suffered domestic crisis. Once the consumers have been granted housing, SOS provide essential items for a functioning household, from the front door mat through to the back door mat.
Our Primary School will be supportive this charity organisation once again this year by putting together “Buckets of Love”. We would love for each Primary class to fill two buckets. Our Captains will be distributing buckets to all classrooms this week and we would appreciate if our generous community could donate any items from the suggested list . This fundraiser will close on 15 September. We thank you in advance for your donation.
Creating your “Bucket of Love”; fill it with any of the items listed below:
• Micro Cloths
• Toilet Cleaner
• Toilet Brush
• Sponges and Scourers
• Laundry Liquid
• Dishwashing Liquid
• Spray and Wipe
• Pegs
• Disinfectants
• Dustpan and Brush
• Mops and Brooms
