Year 5 Camp
Friday 30th of June, our SRC students are running a PJ/Casual Day to raise money for Hope Village. The SRC are super excited to see everyone wearing either their pyjamas or casual clothing for those who don’t want to wear their PJs to school.
Remember, it is super chilly and wet at the moment, so think about wearing warm clothing and sensible footwear to allow all students to play at recess and lunch. Check out the flyer below for all the details. The SRC thank you so very much for your participation and support of their fundraiser.
God bless you,
Deb Clifford
Deputy Principal

Last week the Year 5’s went on camp to Woodhouse Activity Centre in the Adelaide Hills.
Despite the weather (record amounts of rain), we still had a great time. The students were placed in 3 groups and rotated through activities. Some activities needed to be modified or changed to keep us out of the rain as much as possible. They took on activities such as rock climbing, geocaching, tube slide, team challenges, ice blocking (sliding down a small hill on a block of ice), making fire and Challenge Hill!
Everyone had their own highlights – many students loved racing down the tube slides, either on the curved slower slide or the straight speed slide. Some of the funniest moments involved watching students choose to attempt to swing across a small creek via 4 ropes, and usually fall in!
In a very pleasant surprise, the food on camp was first rate! Items such as marinated meats, apple crumble, bacon and eggs and lasagna really hit the spot on a cold winter day!
It was a great group to take on camp, even though it was the first camp experience for most of them. If the students were anything like the staff and parents who went, they would’ve been very excited to get back to their own bed and have a big sleep!
This year, NAIDOC Week celebrations will be held across Australia on July 2 – 9 July, which is our Term 2, Week 10. This is an annual observance to celebrate and recognise the history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
The theme for 2023 is “For Our Elders”
Across every generation, our Elders have played, and continue to play, an important role and hold a prominent place in our communities and families.
The Learning
In week 10, the whole school will be involved in learning experiences using a range of resources and creative expressions from ELC to Year 6.
Sharing the Learning
During Term 3, Week 2, each class will share their learning with a part of the school community such as a class from another year level. Students will be encouraged to express their learning to develop their agency and understanding.
Congratulations to the following students who have completed the Premier's Reading Challenge.
