Principal’s Report
Art Gallery Exhibition
Earlier this week we held the annual Student Art Gallery Exhibition. Many thanks to local artist, Michael Kay who attended to officially open the exhibition. Students and school staff have worked hard to prepare art for installation in the gallery. Selected student work has been framed and on display through the corridor of the administration building. All other student artwork is displayed in class sets. This wonderful work brings our building to life – well done everyone!

Forestry Education Foundation Excursions
Year 3-6 classes travelled to Hollybank Reserve last week, as a part of their studies in HaSS and Science, to explore the forest and learn about living and non-living things. Students discovered how producers, consumers and decomposers all play an important role in nature. Students walked through the forest and spotted a variety of forest elements and got creative building animal habitats.
Remembrance Day
Students and staff participated in Remembrance Day Services on Monday. Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. Our Year 5/6 classes both played pivotal roles in the services, working collaboratively as a class to write poems to share for the commemorative ceremonies. 5/6A attended the Beaconsfield RSL Service, whilst 5/6B led the service at school for our students in P-6.
Year 6 Orientation Day – Exeter High School
Year 6 students will travel to Exeter High School on Wednesday, 20 November to engage in a full day program aimed to help students transition to Year 7 next year. Information has been provided to students about this day.
Schools Triathlon Challenge
Best of luck to students participating in the Schools Triathlon Challenge next Friday 22 November in Devonport. Students will participate as individuals or in teams to complete a swim, ride and run in the event. Thank you to families for supporting their children to take part in this activity.
