25.01.2022 What an exciting first session for our Kindy 2021 Playgroup. They met the wonderful Mrs Blankley, sang songs, listened to stories, played in different activity centres and even got to explore the Early Childhood play area. We loved having you here and can't wait to see you next week.

25.01.2022 Good afternoon everyone, we hope you are all staying safe and sane during this time. The new Waikiki PS School Business Plan 2020-2022 will be available for you all to read very soon. We will let you know when it's been published on our school website.

24.01.2022 Students in Room 2 made some beautiful wreaths in honour of ANZAC day and Mrs Cullinane delivered them to memorials in Port Kennedy and Rockingham this morning. Lest we forget.

24.01.2022 Dear Parents / Caregivers, Over the past 2 days, principals were briefed by the Director General of Education. The briefing outlined our responsibility as a school and the seriousness of the unfolding situation around the world and more specifically here in Western Australia. Our staff are continuing to be resilient and committed to each childs learning, throughout these uncertain times. We are endeavouring to keep you up to date with any directives we received from the De...partment of Education and of decisions we are making at a school level. As a school, we will be implementing some changes, effective tomorrow 25th March. These measures are put in place to ensure the ongoing health and wellbeing of our students and staff. Effective tomorrow; Water fountains will be unavailable to students during break times. They will need to bring a drink bottle. Staff will assist and monitor refilling of bottles as needed through the day. In an effort to encourage social distancing measures, we request that students are brought to school as close to classroom opening times as possible (8.30am). This will allow us to reduce the number of students gathering before classrooms open. When bringing your child to school in the morning, please drop them at the door to minimise the opportunity for large numbers of adults and students being in a small area. If your child is unwell, we will be contacting you to pick them up from school. If they show any signs of being unwell, please keep them at home. We continue to minimise the number of non-essential visitors to our school. For this reason, we are still unable to accommodate parent helpers in the classrooms. We encourage all families to communicate with teachers and office staff via telephone or electronic means wherever practical. Please support our office staff by limiting the number of individuals in the office waiting area to two persons. Thank you once again for your ongoing support. Ms Greaves See more

20.01.2022 End of Term Reward - Friday 3rd July Room 14 students strongly believed that all students at Waikiki Primary School deserved a movie day for the end of term reward. They have all worked really hard on writing very convincing persuasive letters to Mrs Hughes, Ms Greaves, Mrs Rodrigues and Mrs Jackson, providing many reasons in support of their arguments. The letters were very persuasive and those, along with the excellent behaviour we have seen lately in the playground and ou...r classrooms has convinced us that all student deserves a movie reward on the last day of term! The movies will be held in the undercover area. There will be two sessions, for junior and upper primary students. The movies to be shown will be announced closer to the date. We encourage students to bring a pillow, cushion or picnic blanket from home to sit on during the movie. Thanks to Room 14 for their hard work (see them working hard below) and to all of our students for their improved behaviour this term.

17.01.2022 Good morning Waikiki families and friends, We have welcomed even more students back to school this week, while others have been embracing their online learning at home. We have really enjoyed greeting students each morning and seeing their smiley faces. It has been great to see how resilient some of our younger students have been when being dropped off at the gates and how they have taken everything in their stride, being very positive and happy as they head to their classroo...ms. I am pleased at how well this system has been working and appreciate the support that we have received from our parents and carers. This will continue until further notice while we wait for future advice from the Education Department. I hope you have a great weekend and for all the Mums out there, Happy Mothers Day. Louise Hughes Principal

11.01.2022 This year, the students here at Waikiki Primary School have been focusing on our W.A.P.B.S behaviours and making sure that we are Waikiki H.E.R.Os. This fortnights H.E.R.O focus was Howie, Have Respect; more specifically we wanted all students to be focusing on the rules and routines during break times. Each block has been focusing on different rules and routines for their age level. Block 1 focused on hand washing, packing away inside and outside, and lining up straight. Bl...ock 2 and 3 focused on sitting down at break times, working in groups, using inside voices and the playground rules, and Block 4 focused on sitting while eating, walking on concrete, wearing hats to be sun smart and not congregating around the bags. By doing this students and teachers have seen a massive difference in student behaviour and it has been a much more positive environment for all which was the goal. Thank you for reading, have a safe and wonderful day. -Ella and Sebastian [Head Girl and Boy] Our Media Technicians have taken some photos of students showing respect around the school.

07.01.2022 Hello parents. The restrictions on parents entering the school grounds, combined with wet weather at pick up times is making things a bit precarious in the back carpark.

We apologise if this causes any inconvenience. Ms Greaves
