24.01.2022 Southern Primary School Basketball Tournament Lindisfarne North had two Grade 5/6 basketball teams compete in the recent basketball tournament held on 7 and 8 November. It was fantastic to see our students putting their basketball skills, game sense and understanding to the test against other schools.... The experiences gained by participating in such an event are immeasurable, and the improvement in our teams from game one to their last game was terrific. Hopefully we can have more students and teams competing next year as prior experience is not essential as there are a range of levels to opt into to play. A special thank you to Miss Evans who began organising and liaising for this event late in Term 3. Miss Evans and I would also like to thank Jonathan and Kate for preparing and coaching the teams, and Esther for refereeing. Thanks to the parents who ran the bench with scoring and supported all the players so wonderfully. Rob Christie PE Teacher

24.01.2022 What beautiful weather for a walk to school! Part Way is Okay will be leaving from our Granville Avenue meeting point tomorrow morning by 8:40am. Just a reminder that parents dropping off their children are asked to park on the straight section of the road, rather than the curved, for visibility purposes.

23.01.2022 4/5/6 Incursion Yesterday we had Todd Sculthorpe from Aboriginal Education in to visit the 4/5/6 classes. Students learnt how Aboriginals have sustainably used natural resources over time. Todd explained how Aboriginals were the first engineers, scientists and mathematicians in Australia and how they developed innovations such as stone tools, the woomera and kelp water carriers to support their way of life. Students explored how Australian Aboriginal lifestyles have changed over time and adapted to new technologies. Students in 4/5/6 classes have been discussing the war on waste and climate change, and were able to reflect on how Australian Aboriginals have lived sustainably for thousands of years. Todd discussed the importance of country and how important it is to respect the natural environment we have - never taking more than we need.

20.01.2022 A Visit From Olympic Athlete Susan Andrews Some students in grades 5 and 6 were extremely lucky to attend a running workshop with Olympic athlete, Susan Andrews, today.
