Mrs Patterson is on leave for another week, soaking up the sun in Fiji and hopefully getting some well-earned rest. We look forward to her return in week 8.
The students have been very busy for the past couple of weeks working on semester two assessment tasks and consolidating their learning for the term. The teachers have been in full swing of marking those assessments and writing student reports. It is a very busy term, so if the staff are looking a little frazzled, you can understand why.
Swansea PS is participating in the “Swap it” program that will continue throughout next term. The program provides our teachers with weekly lessons to help the students make good decisions about swapping junk food for healthy options. Every child has been given a pack with a drink bottle and ice pack and a booklet of good food suggestions.
Thanks to Mr Lowe for providing our students with another fantastic opportunity in participating in the Premier’s Sporting Challenge last Friday. The program aims to have more students being more active and more often - the students did come back looking tired but happy so I think the day was a great success.
Last week Swansea PS hosted the Bullying Prevention Acrobatic Show. A big thank you must go to the P & C, who fully funded the show for our students. The message given to the students was that bullying is never okay, if you see something, say something.
We are all looking forward to another fabulous week of learning at Swansea Public School.
