A note from the Principal
Dear Parents,
It has been a superb week here in Patana Primary with a range of exciting
events and activities! First up, some staff and parent sessions with consultant
Kim Scott on the benefits of play and playful learning. Then we were quickly
into our Sporting events, including our Sports Days and Swim Galas. On
Thursday, it was the Y5 Readers Cup and then we finished the week with
Friendship Friday.
A huge thank you to all the students who took part in
our recent Flip Grid competition on ‘what makes us special’. We received a
whopping 405 entries and special commendation is due to the Year 6 students,
who impressed us with a remarkable 122 video entries. Following closely behind,
the Year 2 students submitted an impressive 118 videos. To celebrate their enthusiastic
participation, both year groups have received the highly anticipated prize of
an extra playtime in a campus location of their choice. Here’s a small sample of the responses!
Hope to see some of you at the PTG Big Night Out on Saturday!
