On Monday 1st of March students from a number of grades participated in a water safety workshop. The workshop was led by Royal Life Saving NSW and provided students with safety skills which help keep them and others safe around water. Students enjoyed the sessions and received a CPR magnet along with a certificate for completing the workshop. 

Year 6 students were trained in CPR during their leadership training session. Each participant was provided with their own mini CPR Anne pack which they will be able to use when sharing their learning with peers. A special thanks to Royal Life Saving NSW for providing this vital workshop to our students. 

 On Thursday 18 March at 10 am our school will be joining hundreds of schools across NSW to break the record for the most students crunching vegetables simultaneously.

 But we need your help to make it a success!

 On Thursday 18 March, please pack your child a container of vegetables (not fruit this time) for them to crunch on.

 Need some ideas?

• carrot, celery, cucumber – cut into sticks or left whole.

• capsicum – cut into sticks or wedges.

• corn – raw baby corn spears or a cooked corn cob.

• broccoli or cauliflower florets - raw or lightly cooked to keep their crunch.

• tomatoes – small cherry tomatoes or a large tomato that can be eaten like an apple.

• beans or snow peas - raw or lightly cooked to keep their crunch.

• mushrooms – sliced or left whole.

• if fresh veg isn’t possible, try canned or frozen vegetables instead.
