2023 Parent Information Sessions

A huge thank you to all the parents who attended the Parent Information Sessions in classrooms last fortnight.  It was lovely to see so many parents within the school learning about their new classroom environment, their new teacher and also their child’s new curriculum expectations.

Keeping our Children Safe

Just a gentle reminder that school drop off and pickups are to take place accessing the carparks along the road on the outside of the school.  Please encourage children to use the pedestrian crossing/ school crossing when possible.

Halogens National Young Leaders Day

The Student Council representatives attended the Halogens National Young Leaders Conference this week. We heard inspirational stories from guest speakers including Anthony 'Harries' Carroll, Hilary Rogers, Bryson Klein and Gretel Bueta, and identified key lessons and ideas from the speakers that relate to young leadership. Key themes of inspiration throughout the conference were finding your joy, leaning into your strengths, being brave and giving back. 

Student Councillors enjoyed meeting the guest speakers during break times, and even learnt a new dance move or two!

Legacy Committee Workshop

Last week, students in year 6 came together to begin their Legacy Committees for 2023.  Students collaborated on and committed to values and actions to make a positive difference to our school in the areas of wellbeing, sustainability, outdoor learning and play, and curiosity and creativity.

Our Legacy committees provide an opportunity for all student leaders to contribute to school improvement and enact change.

Each committee spent some time generating some ideas for their Wildly Important Goals (WIGs) for the year.  These goals are still being finalised by the committees, however the wellbeing team like the idea of promoting wellbeing and mindfulness across the school.  The Curiosity and Creativity committee are working towards sharing and growing knowledge around technologies and the arts in our school. The Sustainability crew are wanting to re-create the much-loved kitchen garden. The Outdoor Learning and Play committee are working towards a goal to make outdoor learning a regular occurrence so that students and teachers can engage in a curious space.

We look forward to great things ahead!
