25.01.2022 In 2020 our Waratah (Grade 5-6 class) would normally have gone on a school camp but this year that was not to be. The class made the most of the alternative activities. A visit to Supaworld, T shirt decorating, BBQ dinner, marshmallows around the firepit (Thank you Paul for the new area) and a film with popcorn just in day 1. Day 2 was spent at the beach, watching movies and activities in the classroom after an egg and bacon breakfast. Thank you Miss J for organising lots of fun things for us to participate in.

20.01.2022 LiL cancelled this Friday 11th September. Unfortunately LiL will not take place this Friday 11th September. Apologies for any inconvenience. We will hold an extra LiL session the following Friday 18th September in the Kinder between 1.40pm and 2.40pm. As this is a shorter session than usual, we wont have a fruit and veggie break in this time. Pre-Kinder will still take place on Friday 18th September between 9.30am and 11.00am. This will be the last Pre-Kinder session before the school holidays. Please make sure that your uniform orders for 2021 are given to the school office by this day. Friday September 25th will be the last session for the LiL group before the school holidays.

19.01.2022 Due to the changes in school practices in response to COVID-19 we are suspending Launch Into Learning sessions for the rest of term 1. We will review the situation at the start of term 2. Jenny has plans to work with Anita to create some resource packs which will be available for families later next week. We will let families know when they are ready for collection. For parents who would like touch base with Jenny during the down time, she can be contacted at school on Fridays in the time that was previously set aside for LiL on 62399126. Stay safe and positive everyone and we look forward to catching up with everyone when LiL resumes.

17.01.2022 South Arm Primary remembers with gratitude and respect in 2020.

17.01.2022 Dear Parents and Carers, IMPORTANT UPDATE - This morning the Premier announced that from Monday parents should keep their children home from school if they can be supervised and supported in their learning. Following on from this advice, Department of Education directive is that school sites will remain open and operating next week for children who can not be supervised and supported to learn at home.... Next week, learning opportunities for South Arm students will continue to be provided as they have been this week. A small number of students have attended for learning on site with all other students being supported and supervised to learn from home with either online or offline resources. This will remain the case unless otherwise directed by the DoE. Parents of our Kindergarten class will have been spoken to by Wendy today regarding arrangements for next week. Any updates over the weekend will be posted here. Stay safe everyone. Maryanne Picone Principal

11.01.2022 In Acacia we have started a unit on freezing and melting. The first experiment looked at how matter can change from a solid to a liquid when heat is applied. First we looked at the properties of materials such as ice, chocolate, honey, plastic and metal. We then predicted what would happen when heat was applied to them. After heating we assessed the results. It was fun.
