25.01.2022 Thank you room 16 for your lovely thank you letters . I could not photograph them all clearly but they are all up in our Science Room. I did not know that you did a lab at Scitech. Mrs Hearman said it was very good!

23.01.2022 A big thank you to all the parent helpers to Scitech last week. We could not have done it without you. Two mums helped two days in a row. Massive thank you!

22.01.2022 There will be letter coming home today with the eldest student regarding cyber safety. You may have seen media coverage over the weekend regarding a Western Australian Police investigation that has uncovered a series of online grooming offences against young people in the wider community. Charges of this nature are unsettling and we want to make sure that all parents/carers remain aware of the importance of cyber safety. I also want to reassure you that there is no indication... that any of these grooming offences have taken place at a school. I know you are best placed to talk to your children about cyber safety and there are many resources to help guide you through this on the Department of Education website. Other online resources are available on the eSafety Commissioner website. The weekends story may lead to children being more aware of these types of offences and wanting to disclose information. The Departments parent helpline, 1800 882 345, is available for you to call if you have any questions or concerns, and is staffed by psychologists, child protection officers and principals. The phone line is available from 8.00am to 4.00pm this Monday to Friday. If you have any general concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me on 92783700.

22.01.2022 Just back at my desk after an awesome Room 1 and 2 assembly about 'little red hens.' They had lots of words to remember and it was obvious a lot of practice was done to remember them. Well done everyone for a great performance. This weeks Besties winners were Gracy (Room 15), Trent (Room 8) for being Kind to themselves, Jeramy (Room 12 ) for being the Achieving Kind and Suhayb (Room 10) for being the Learning Kind.
