Principal's Message - Kim Fraser

Our amazing Environmental Officers braved the rainy, freezing cold morning yesterday to participate in the City of Stirling school verge planting venture. The students planted trees along the verges on Mountainbell Road and Campus Way. Huge thank you to Ms Samsa for organising the children, to the volunteer parents and grandparents, Rotary, Councillor Proud and to Candice Le Roux and her team from Stirling Council for the exceptional organisation of this event, what a great community, team effort!

The Executive Team would like to give a very big thank you to all the parents who support us while doing crosswalk duties these past 2 weeks. It’s been really nice to greet you all as you enter and leave the school with your super friendly greetings that make our day!

We are pretty excited to have begun the planning with the Community Focus Group for the Oval Creative Play SpaceThis link will take you to an overview of the project.

The P & C are always so generous by providing the school with financial donations that supplement our many cost centre learning areas. Committees have been using this extra funding to provide further resources. 

The STEAM/Robotics team have purchased:

  • Materials to make new robotics mazes for our RobocupJr program,
  • New trolley to store our robotic Lego kits,
  • A range of additional robotics sensors and parts to further extend our capabilities.

Thank you P & C, the equipment is most useful and has allowed us to support up to 6 competing teams in the RobocupJr this year as opposed to two last year.

There has been an increased amount of issues with poppets, fidgets and Pokémon cards. The children have been ‘trading’ these items and as you can imagine causing a few robust discussions between kids on ownership rights! To curb this, children will no longer be able to play with these while at school. We are totally aware that some children with sensory issues may use these during recess and lunch as part of their engagement plan and this will continue to be managed by the teachers and parents of these children. There has also been an increase of toys dangling from many school bags – some of these items are being taken or lost which causes a lot of distress for the children. We would greatly appreciate it if you could please support the message of ‘no toys at school rule’ and reducing the toys on their bags. 

STEAM/Robotics new resources! Planting Trees - Learning is so much fun!
