Living our Values
We are motivated and engaged!
This week in the primary school has been Science Week!
We were so lucky to have a special assembly with the Surfing Scientist!
A note from the principal
A very warm welcome to Term 1B and a new feature in our weekly newsletter. It has been a wonderful week in Primary, with some very exciting happenings across the school.
On Tuesday, we were delighted to welcome back our Tiny Tigers after a break of two years. At our first session, we had 12 lovely young learners join us and they thoroughly enjoyed exploring their new surroundings and making friends with our turtles!
We were also amazed by the work of our budding atomic Scientists, as supported by our special visitors Ruben and Ian. It has been an action-packed Science Week, which has included a parent workshop, assemblies, coaching for our Science advocates and high quality Science lessons for our students.
Proud of you Patana!

Loi Krathong- 8th November

Smart Watches
We encourage children to wear a watch to school, to help them keep track on time and develop independence. However, many smart watches allow for phone and message contact, internet access, online games, and other features that they do not need in school. Access to games via a smart watch distracts children from other social play activities and conversations. Messaging or calling home during the school day distracts your child from listening and learning.
If your child does have a smart watch, please talk with your child about which functions can and cannot be used in school.
Please set your child’s smart watch to block these functions whilst at school, including ECA time.

Please ensure any snack or Birthday cakes/doughnuts that come into school are nut free. This is to ensure we are keeping all our students safe as ewe have some students in the Y3/4 Building who have severe nut allergies. Thank you for your help with this.
