25.01.2022 Kinder Transition this Friday 27 November 2020 - note the different times 1 pm to 2.45 pm. BUDDY PICNIC for Kinder transition. Kinders can bring their drink bottle and something little to eat to transition this Friday (we will supply the icy poles). It’s meant to be a HOT one so we’ll have our picnic indoors and spend the afternoon getting to know our buddies. Our buddy program is fabulous and the Kinders often form a really lovely bond with their Year 6 buddy that lasts t...he whole year. Year 6 buddies will assist their kinder students in the first weeks of school. We have some very excited Year 6 students who have been waiting their whole primary school life to be a big buddy!! We are looking forward to seeing everyone again Mrs Brown & Mrs Paterson

13.01.2022 NAIDOC Week is about acknowledging and celebrating the histories, languages and cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This year’s theme is Always Was. Always Will Be, recognising over 65 000 years of First Nations’ peoples caring for the land. All students at Springdale Heights Public School have been engaged in learning activities this week that looked at different aspects of Aboriginal languages and cultures. We also had the privilege of looking afte...r some of the art and artefacts lent to us by one of our families. Year 3 student, Lily Crupi, enjoyed speaking to all of the classes about her father’s beautiful artworks and the meaning behind them. The students were able to ‘feel’ the different textures on the paintings as some had sand, kangaroo fur and emu feathers. It made it very special for all the students. Well done Lily and thank you to the Crupi family! See more
