It has been a busy time over the last fortnight! The older children were treated to an Indonesian cultural performance recently and by all accounts was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Many thanks to our Indonesian teacher, Ashley, for coordinating the visit.

Swimming lessons was a full on week but a number of children managed to pass levels and I was very proud of their participation and behaviour over the course of the week.

Students in classes 4-6 had the opportunity on the last day of swimming to attend a rehearsal of the WA Symphony Orchestra. It was a fantastic opportunity to experience a behind the scenes look at the work that goes into a performance as well as to be treated to such beautiful music. Many thanks to our violin specialist, Mike Hyder for securing this opportunity for us.

We have had a number of students away this week due to illness. A reminder to please keep children at home for 24hrs from the last time they vomit before returning to school to help prevent the spread of illness. A gentle reminder too about our dress policy.  Students need to wear clothes coloured in simple rainbow colours with logos no larger than that of thier fist, long hair (longer than shoulder length) needs to be tied back and jewellery minimal.  

A very successful P&F meeting was held last week. Thanks to the efforts of Penny Goodwin and Teresa Stockdale for getting this off the ground. They have an event scheduled for November 30th - a “Hands in the Earth” Day. Visit their Facebook page for further details.
