24.01.2022 For our Children's University members... keep those brains ticking with lots of great ideas from CU. Your holiday packs will also come to your home soon

23.01.2022 Hi everyone... we hope everyone is keeping safe and is well...we are thinking of you all right now. Here is a lovely idea some of you may have seen already to help capture all those ideas ...it might be something you want to start in your home.

22.01.2022 Reminder for families that there is no school until Wednesday 10th of June because of the public holiday and pupil free day have a great long weekend everyone!

21.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day We hope today is as special as you all are!

21.01.2022 Two weeks ago we enjoyed a wonderful sports day on the oval. The students were so excited to have their families to finally be able to join us again on site. Despite everyone’s best efforts, the red team came out on top! A big thanks to Kamal, our P.E. and health teacher, for organising this fun and enjoyable event.

20.01.2022 Free parenting webinar available!

19.01.2022 Term 3’s whole school inquiry topic is ‘Communities impact local environments.’ Today the Juniors walked down to the River Torrens near Felixstow Reserve. Students discussed the ways that communities have impacted their local environments both positively and negatively. The students decided to make a positive impact by picking up litter along the way. Great job little ones

19.01.2022 2020, or the year of COVID-19, continues to twist and turn and be challenging! Each day, over the next few days, I’d like to connect and offer a few sensible ti...ps on how PARENTS and KIDS can look after their mental health during this 6 to 14 days hard lockdown. This post starts with you - the parent. Please think about putting your oxygen mask on first, before assisting others. Yes, it sounds counter-intuitive, but to be the best influencer for you kids, partner, friends and extended family, you need to consciously keep yourself in a good place. This is, "self-care". To do this - set a visible routine for the day so you and the kids have a structure to increase certainty and reduce anxiety. Plan times to do chores, play on screens (yes, more time than usual between devices and TV), exercise, rest (meditate or listen to music) and play together. Schedule in time to be together AND to be alone giving each other space is necessary, if you can manage it. When things go awry, and they will, try to 'go with the flow' rather than fighting it too hard. Keep talking and texting with likeminded friends. We’re all in this together, so it’s a big advantage to have a continuing dialogue with those who care and get you! Be kind and go easy on yourself!

18.01.2022 Felixstow Community School’s capacity management plan has been approved by the minister. This means that we will now have a zone. This will not affect current enrolments but changes to the process of future enrolments have been listed on our website (linked below) as well as registration of interest forms. Please have a look and contact the school with any queries you may have. https://www.felixcs.sa.edu.au/index/for-parents/enrollment/

17.01.2022 Felixstow staff would like to wish all of our students and their families a happy and safe Easter break. We hope that you find ways to keep busy but also find time to rest and enjoy the little things. We look forward to connecting with you all in term 2!

17.01.2022 Earlier this year, one of our year two students planned and held a lemonade stand to raise money for the RSPCA with the help of his class teacher Lauren. Last week he was able to share his project with RSPCA staff members and hand over the donations. Safe to say we are all feeling very proud!

16.01.2022 On Friday, we celebrated book week with some curious creatures and wild minds! Our students and staff enjoyed a parade outside and listened to some of the amazing storybooks in our library. What a wonderful way to celebrate language and stories.

16.01.2022 Backpacks 4 SA Kids INC. is a wonderful organisation who have a goal of supplying gifts to 5,500 kids entering emergency care this Christmas. They need some help. See their post below for ways you can contribute, by either donating cash, online purchase or delivering a gift to one of their drop off locations. (Or you can send in to school and we will make sure gifts are delivered) Some kids have never experienced the joy of receiving a present just for them. A simple gift will show them someone cares and bring some happiness to kids and families who are displaced at Christmas.

15.01.2022 R U OK? This Thursday 10th September is R U OK? day. The message this year is there's more to say after R U OK?

14.01.2022 Last weeks whole school excursion to The Karrawirra Parri (River Torrens) led by Aboriginal Elder Uncle Tamaru!

13.01.2022 Our tree is in the Parade Christmas Tree display 'Festival Gallery on Osmond' again this year! Let's see if we can win a second year in row! Make sure you vote by going to the original post on the Parade Norwood Facebook page and 'like' our tree... get sharing and let our little school be mighty again! This year students were inspired by our work with Uncle Tamaru. One side is the Karawirra Pari or the River Torrens, one side is Victoria Square or Tarntanyangga and the other two sides have all the students in the school handprints. Well done to all the students and staff who got involved again this year

12.01.2022 This is a really interesting article about the difference between home schooling and what we are doing now... being called 'crisis schooling' in this article. https://www.heatheranneworld.com//homeschooling-is-not-the

08.01.2022 Yesterday, Felixstow students went to the Adelaide Zoo! The students were able to explore the zoo, learn from a zookeeper and have a play on the playground. What a wonderful day!

07.01.2022 We are so proud to have had 64 students at Felixstow Community School participate in the Premier’s Reading Challenge this year A special mention goes to 2 students who received the ‘Hall of Fame Reader for Life’ award for 8 years of participation. Another mention goes to 1 student who rather than reading the required 12 books, read 36 books! All the students who participated received their awards at assembly in front of their peers. We can’t wait to see how many students participate next year!

06.01.2022 Just what we all need after a long term two

04.01.2022 On the 11th day of the 11th month Felixstow staff and students gathered beneath our flags to commemorate the end of WWI in 1918. Our students discussed the history of this day and made poppies to decorate our garden beside our very own poppy flower plant.

03.01.2022 Public schools, preschools and children’s centres will reopen to all students on Monday 23 November. While OSHC is able to operate as usual, families should check with their OSHC service whether it will run a service on Monday. We look forward to having children back on Monday!

03.01.2022 Last weeks excursion to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens with Trent Hill!

03.01.2022 Lenny came for his last visit for the term today and had lots of fun joining investigation with the Juniors and listening to the primary students work on their term reflections! He is a bit disappointed about missing out PJ day and hot chocolate tomorrow for the last day but he is looking forward to seeing you all again next term! Happy holidays from Lenny everyone!

03.01.2022 Congratulations to our 2020 Children's University Graduates! This year there were many challenges for graduates so we are really proud of the students who persisted through these challenges to reach their goals. While we weren't able to have our usual celebration at Adelaide University we would like to thank Luca from CU who came to school to present these students with their awards.
