We commence the activities for Term 3 in Week 3, on Monday 12 Aug 2019. These will run for 6 weeks, finishing in Week 8, Friday 20 September 2019.

Your child/children from PP to Year 6, are welcome to participate in an Extra Curriculum Activities (ECA) at their respective ELC or 3 – 6 campus (see attached list of activities). It is important that children understand that they must commit to the activity for the whole 6 weeks. When school finishes, there is a short afternoon tea break so please pack something healthy for them to enjoy. Parents, please be prompt when collecting your children in the afternoon.

Registration and Activities will be open for student enrolments on Wednesday 26 June at 6.00 pm.

Places are limited for each activity so please only enrol in one activity. Allocated is on a ‘first in’ basis. It is important that your child commits to the activity for the full 6 weeks.

Many activities have a limited number of places, so if a club is full, please continue to register your name on the wait list.

Children’s University

Children’s University, run in Western Australia by Edith Cowan University (ECU), encourages children between 7 – 14 years old to be self-directed learners through activities such as sport, dance, reading, drama, arts and holiday activities. The hours students complete are recorded in a passport and after a minimum 30 accredited hours, students are invited to a formal graduation ceremony on ECU’s campus to receive their award. The program is a great way to demonstrate the pathways that are possible for further and tertiary learning and provide opportunities to build self-esteem.  Students are rewarded for participation, rather than academic achievement. The program is completely voluntary and should be driven by the interest of each child.

Further information about the program is available on the website: www.childrensuniversity.com.au or

social media: https://www.facebook.com/childrensuniversityaustralasia 

The Children’s University ECU team spoke to students during the assembly on Friday 21 June.  Passports and payment can be made through the Primary Office.

Connecting In Conversations

In our latest Connecting In Conversations session, a few parents raised the point that it might be beneficial for parents to attend subject information evenings that are aimed at specific Year groups in the Secondary School. While we understand that our Primary students are still a number of years away from making decisions about their Secondary School journey, we also recognise that, as parents, you may like to have a deeper understanding of what that process might look like. With that in mind, we would like to extend an invitation for you to attend the upcoming Subject InformationEvenings, each of which will have a focus on a different age range.

Below you will find a short description of the events, which have simply been adapted from the letters that were sent to the related Year groups. I do apologise about the short notice for the events, but they had already been planned before the suggestion was made that Primary parents may wish to attend.

• Year 9 and Year 10, 2020 Subject Information Evening

The Subject Information Evening will be held on Monday 17 June 2019 in the Theatre starting at 6.30 pm. This evening will provide an overview of requirements for WACE Graduation, presentations about elective subjects, and the opportunity to ask questions of Heads of Learning Area. Parents and students are invited to attend.

• Information Evening and Curriculum Handbook for Year 11 (2020) 

On the evening of Tuesday 25 June, the school will host a Subject Information Evening for Year 11 (2020) students and parents, commencing at 6.30pm in the Theatre. This is an opportunity to hear about future pathways, subject offerings, and to discuss queries with Heads of Learning Area.

• Subject Information Evening for Year 12 (2020) 

You are invited to attend the Subject Information Evening for Year 12 (2020) students and parents, to be held on the evening of Tuesday 25 June, at 7.00pm in Cousins Hall. This is an opportunity to hear about post school pathways and WACE graduation, and to discuss any questions with Heads of Learning Area.

Lost Property in the Primary

Attention parents: We have numerous items in Lost Property that are unnamed. We will keep these items in the trolley until the end of this term and then they will be passed on to the Uniform Shop to sell.
Please ensure your child’s uniform is labelled, as this helps us in returning it to them when it is found.

Surprise! Book Fair has come to the Primary Library this week!

Mr Hegland and his band of ‘Boy’s Book Club’ members that regularly meet on a Monday at lunch time, got a ‘sneak – peek’ at the Book Fair today. About 15 – 20 boys regularly meet with Mr Hegland, to discuss what books they are reading, sharing recommendations and ideas including trying new genres. I managed to catch a couple of boys having a laugh with Mr Hegland at some new titles in the Book Fair before the end of lunch time today.
