Kapture Photos
We are very close to receiving our Kapture photos. They have been proofed, and approved for printing, and I am hopeful we will receive them in the next couple of weeks.
Interschool Cross Country
Congratulations to Malachi and Karan who have made it to our Interschool Cross Country Team. Malachi and Karan will be representing the Joondalup Campus, which is amazing!
NAIDOC Week
Last week our Campus celebrated NAIDOC week. All classes learned about and celebrated the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. See further on in our newsletter for some photos.
Junior Playground & Sensory Rooms
We are beautifying our school! Our junior students are loving all the new activities and role play opportunities in the junior playground. Students can create music, camp, pretend they are running a household or work together to create things in the sandpit. We are also expecting to have some new mud kitchens arrive shortly. Our boat will be repurposed and become a garden area to make room for the kitchens.
Our sensory rooms have been painted by local artist Paul Deej and was recently featured on "Streets of Perth". They look absolutely beautiful, and shortly we will receive our sensory pod that will go into our room.
