Swimming Lessons

It has been a big week of swimming lessons! Although the weather has not been ideal for swimming, students and staff have braved the cold for some fun in the pool, while learning lots of water safety, awareness and swimming strokes.

Our school bus made its maiden voyage with students to and from swimming each day, and is very popular as it has a TV on it, and students have been watching Frozen on the way to and from lessons.

Children’s Book Week

This year’s theme is ‘Reading is Magic’ and magic always happens on dress up day. All students are invited to come to school on Wednesday dressed as their favourite character or item from a book. There will be a parade on Wednesday from 9:00 in the undercover area. Families and friends are welcome to the parade.

There will be a P&C Association meeting on Wednesday 4 September 2024 from 7.00pm in the staffroom. 

Don’t forget the annual P&C disco is happening Friday 30 August 2024. It’s free but you must register your children so that we know who is coming. Please see the P&C section of this newsletter for futher information.

Sports Carnivals

We have a busy few weeks of sporting events at Joondalup. We recently had our mini Olympics which was a great day for everyone. It gave students lots of practice at running, cheering, getting ready for their race and tabloid activities. Many organisations came in the afternoon for our upper primary students and ran lots of come and try sessions. Huge thank you to Mrs Smith and Ms Martin for organising this. Please enjoy Mrs Smith's article and photos from the day in this newsletter.

On Tuesday 27 August students in Years 3 – 6 will be competing and participating in an interschool carnival at Beldon Education Support Centre. On Thursday 29 August, our Kindy B – Year 2 students will be going to Creaney Education Support Centre for their interschool carnival

Friday 13 September is the date for Joondalup Schools faction carnival. Families and friends are welcome to join all carnivals.
