18.01.2022 Active School Travel Scooter Month This month the focus of the council’s Active School Travel program is the amount of students who scoot to school.

Which class will be the winner???

18.01.2022 This Thursday is our junior athletics carnival. Students in Prep-2 can wear their house colours. Unfortunately due to COVID restrictions we are unable to have spectators on the school grounds.

16.01.2022 Just a reminder that this Friday is a student free day! We hope you enjoy the long weekend.

15.01.2022 The show will go on!! It looks like by showtime the bulk of the rain will have passed. We will see those families attending tonight’s performance soon.

15.01.2022 Our new courtyard / learning area is starting to take shape.

13.01.2022 We are only half way through #nationalscienceweek2020 but already our students have experienced Ocean Life interactive touch tanks, guest speakers, parent experts, buddy activities, project expos and competitions. It’s been amazing to see the students interactions with all the activities.

12.01.2022 We have a wonderful group of teacher aides that support our students. Our school would not be the same without you. We hope you enjoyed your treats today and awards on our virtual assembly!

10.01.2022 2021 Years 2 & 3 stationery packs are now available for collection at the school office, thank you.

10.01.2022 Stage 2 of concreting is underway!

08.01.2022 Happy Birthday Mrs Perkins! This week saw a very special birthday and equally special celebration!

08.01.2022 And that's a wrap on Book Week! Our final activity was a session for our grade 3 - 6 students with a truly inspiring Australian author, Samantha Wheeler. Samantha spoke about how she became an author an how she goes about turning her book ideas into a reality. It was refreshing to hear that just like our students, she has to edit her work many times before it is ready for publishing. Her love of animals and reading was certainly evident and well received by our students. Mrs Youngman might have also been just a little bit star struck and thrilled to hear about Samantha's adventures in researching and writing the story 'Mr Cassowary'!

07.01.2022 Which house will win the hampers of hope competition tomorrow??? Please bring your items to the undercover area in the morning before school.

06.01.2022 Our lucky Prep - 2 classes were treated to a live performance of 'The Greatest Discovery' as part of our Book Week celebrations today. Thanks to our teachers for familiarising their classes with the shortlisted books 'Hello Lighthouse', 'Tilly' and 'Goodbye House, Hello House'.

06.01.2022 Some of the scooter crew from 1RC who won the scooter session with the highest percentage of students scooting to school the last fortnight! Congratulations and Happy holidays.

06.01.2022 It's a 'hard' day in the classroom for our Years 4 - 6 as they enjoy the water and their Surf Lifesaving Carnival today!

05.01.2022 Wow what a Book Week parade! Thanks so much to our wonderful students who dressed up to celebrate our love of books. A huge shout out to all the parents and friends who were able to make it - the students just loved seeing your smiling faces as they took a spin around the oval. It was also a treat to see our buddy classes 'feasting' on a good book at the 'Reading Picnic' after the parade. It's so true that sharing a good book is one of life's great joys!

05.01.2022 Just a reminder that today is cupcake day!

03.01.2022 We’re very excited to bringing you the Twilight Christmas Carols tomorrow afternoon. The event starts at 3:00pm, children will start singing at 4:00pm and we’ll conclude and start packing up at 6:00pm. The P&C has been working closely with Mrs Rehm and Mr Perry to ensure that we bring you a Covid Safe event in line with the Department’s guidelines. With that said, we have some small differences which we have outlined below.... We will have ONE entry and exit point to the school. Please use the double gates at Signal Row. Upon entry, we ask you to ‘check in’ via the QR code. We will also have hand sanitiser available to use. We ask that immediate family members only attend this event this year. The oval will be marked out into a 2mtr x 2mtr square grid. One household per square. Each ‘square’ has a gap of 1.5mts between to ensure that we are socially distancing between families. We are still able to have our sausage sizzle BBQ and Bar, however, these have been moved off the oval and onto the raised seating area, to ensure adequate room for people lining up. We will be selling Christmas Hamper raffle tickets and have soft drinks/juice/water available to purchase also and lolly bags & snow cones for the kids. If you prefer contactless sales, all our stalls & raffle tickets will have eftpos facilities. As always, these events are best run with the support of the community and we’re looking for parents who are able to spend 30mins at a stall (drinks, snow cone, lolly bag) to assist with sales. If you can assist there will be an open roster for you to choose a time. We look forward to a lovely relaxed afternoon and look forward to seeing you all tomorrow! P&C

02.01.2022 Learning a language isn't just learning to read or write the language but also about the culture of the country. Class 3WF have been making origami flowers in their LOTE lesson.

01.01.2022 This week is Support Staff week in schools. We would like to acknowledge the excellent work that Mrs Farrow and Mrs Shepperson do in our office everyday. From band aids to paying bills and everything in between we say... Thank You!

01.01.2022 After being given the all clear from the wonderful staff at Brighton Veterinary Surgery, our rescued tawny frogmouth was released. From all reports he was reunited with his parents & has learnt his lesson about straying too far! Thank you Mrs Youngman, Clover, Matilda & Mr Eden for helping him find his way home.

01.01.2022 And congratulations must also go to our wonderful staff here at Shorncliffe. From caterpillars to a pair of Lorax (or is that Loraxes or Lori?) we had it all. Just wondering though if Mr Donnelly found the wardrobe to go with his Lion and witch......
