3-6 Swim Carnival

The 3 – 6 swimming carnival was a huge success last week. Congratulations to all of the students who competed and a special congratulations to the winning house, Timae.

As always, these events wouldn’t run smoothly if it wasn’t for the support of our community, so a huge thank you to all who supported us on the day.

 

3- 6 Parent Morning Tea

It was great to have some of you in the village for morning tea today and to be able to discuss the Key reward system that we use to reward students in school. One of the big takeaways was how you, as parents feel that you can also use this at home to support and develop your child, and by this being shared at home and school, there will be a common language shared.

Over the next few weeks, we will share one of our keys with some examples of what we are looking for in the students in order to reward them.

This week we will start with the ‘Me’ key. This is where we want the children to understand their feelings and recognise their strengths and gifts. The image below shows examples of how they would show this.

 

School Worship -A Night of Giving Thanks

Please join us for our whole school Worship at the Carramar Sports and Learning Centre on Tuesday 4 April. This is an opportunity to gather as a whole school and give thanks for all that takes place in and through our school. We encourage you to attend.

 

ELC -Parent Morning Tea

Please join us after Worship this Friday for a morning tea. This is an opportunity for the community to come together and for you to meet the leadership team. We are looking forward to seeing you there.

 

ELC Swim Carnival

The ELC swim carnival is taking place this term. For this event to go ahead we are needing parent helpers to be in the water assisting with activities and to ensure that we meet the student / adult ratio requirements needed. If you able to help out on this day, please can you put your name down on the helpers list located at reception.

 

Harmony Day – 17 March

Across the Primary School, ELC and 3-6 we will be celebrating Harmony Day. Each student can wear something that represents their cultural background or something orange. Harmony Day is a very special day where we celebrate the rich and diverse community we have here at St Stephen’s School.

 

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.
