Kaya, We have had a fabulous start to term two.

The weather is changing and the mornings and evenings are definitely getting colder. It is the time of year where students may wear jumpers and jackets to school, then take them off as the day warms up. Please make sure you have clearly named your child’s clothing, so it is easy to return it in the event it is left on the oval, or somewhere outside the classroom.

In the coming weeks several classes will be engaging in Sensorium Theatre Incursions. These will take place over four weeks at school. This year the incursion production will be “10 Tiny Things.” Two lucky classes are going on an excursion to the Wonderbox theatre production by Sensorium on Friday. More information about Sensorium can be found here. Home - Sensorium: Disability Theatre (sensoriumtheatre.com.au)

Last Wednesday Joondalup Schools held an ANZAC Service for students, families and staff. It was a very respectful service lead by our students. Michal, Sahar and Xander represented our school by speaking and laying wreaths. Thank you to Hwee Peng our School Board Chair for attending and laying a wreath too.

This week we have welcomed Sarah Riky to our staff team. Miss Riky will be with Joondalup ESC for the next year as Mrs Hampson has taken maternity leave and is ready to have a baby any time now. We welcome Miss Riky to our PP / Year 1 class, in Room 28.

In Term 4 this year we will be having our school review, which comes along approximately every three years. We are unsure of the date yet. Some families, board members staff and students and Joondalup Primary School are usually involved in this process.

Our new junior playground is open! Students are loving the new space, especially the water play and fresh soft sand. It has quickly become a really popular place to play.
