13.01.2022 Winter walk and ride to school.

13.01.2022 Next week we begin our new acknowledgement system. Teachers will be looking for students showing safe, respectful and learning behaviours on the playground. They will be given a token. Student tokens will be collected by school captains. The aim is to increase the amount of tokens collected by students each week for a great whole school reward. Don't forget to ask your children about it next week.

10.01.2022 Did you know 1/3 of all edible food produced globally is wasted - thrown in the bin. Food waste produces methane in landfill a powerful greenhouse gas. What do you do with your food waste? Why not put it in our compost at school. We had one family bring in a Weet-Bix box full today - straight in the compost. All vege scraps are welcome (cant take meat, dairy or citrus sorry). Weve also had a family drop in coffee grounds and staff have been collecting tea leaves. The more we have in our compost the more nutrient rich soil we can create. Feel free to throw your veg waste directly in the school compost. We are currently adding to the compost bay closest to the library - pop it in there. Many thanks from us and the environment

10.01.2022 Did you know today is world scissors, paper, rock day? Weve found our class champions and after lunch today we will find out who is the school champion! Watch this space https://click.mythesquiz.com.au/

03.01.2022 ACT Health is warning Canberrans about the potential for a thunderstorm asthma event in the ACT region today (Sunday 22 November) and tomorrow (Monday 23 Novemb...er). The warning comes as we see elevated pollen levels and the possibility of severe thunderstorms over the next two days, increasing the risk of a thunderstorm asthma event. People who suffer from hay fever or asthma are encouraged to be vigilant for any worsening of their condition. Thunderstorm asthma can be sudden, serious and even life threatening for people with asthma or hay fever. Protect yourself, or someone you care for, from risk by: staying indoors with windows and doors closed staying in air-conditioned premises, and if possible, switching the air conditioner to ‘recycle’ or ‘recirculate’ to reduce the amount of dust entering the building avoiding all vigorous exercise, especially if you have a heart or lung conditions If you experience asthma symptoms which are unrelieved by their usual asthma treatment, seek urgent medical advice. In the event of a medical emergency call 000. If it is safe to do so, check on elderly neighbours or people who you think might need extra help. For more information visit health.act.gov.au/public-health-alerts

03.01.2022 Big crowd from Cook shops this morning for winter walk and ride to school.

02.01.2022 ICAS English is tomorrow at 9am. If your child is participating please remind them to be at school on time. The sitting window is short for English so children who are away are unlikely to have an opportunity to sit the test later. Thanks
