24.01.2022 This term Miss Gibson has thoroughly enjoyed teaching Drama. She was expecting some students to be reluctant to join in Drama activities because of the performance nature of this subject, however, she was thrilled to see all students taking part in whole class, group, pair and individual performances. We have certainly laughed and made some noise as you will see by some of these photos. Hats off to Stage One! They have, sung, danced, acted and created their way through thei...r unit "If the Cap Fits." Their 'Beckoning Hand' sculptures from air drying clay were fantastic. Stage Two throw some of the best dramatic tantrums I have ever seen! They made Danny from Danny in the Toy Box look like an amateur. Stage Three wrote and acted out amazing alternative story lines to their drama unit: Rapunzel. They certainly mastered the Tableau this term.

23.01.2022 Congratulations 2C on the assembly trophy AGAIN this fortnight! Well done to you all, what a way to show excellence at our school.

22.01.2022 The terracotta pots that our students have hand painted are stunning! If any of our amazing families have cuttings of small plants or succulents we could propagate, we’d love your donations to help us complete our vertical gardens project. Please have your child deliver any donations to Miss Madeley in KM. Thank you!

21.01.2022 Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring...only the APS staff with a jingle or two for our children and families to enjoy! All of the APS staff wish our beautiful children and their families a very Merry Christmas.

20.01.2022 Miss Madeley was lucky enough to visit Kinda Kapers today. Our preschool friends had a blast learning through play as they investigated how many objects they could place on their boats before they sunk.
