Great start to Term 2 

 We’ve had a busy and productive start to Term 2. Students returned from the holidays settled, focused, and ready for a big term of learning and growth. Staff are currently busy gathering evidence of student learning in preparation for reports and parent–teacher discussions later this term.

Congratulations Oliver & Sam

Big congratulations to Oliver Elphinstone and Sam Aitken who represented the North West at the State Athletics Carnival last week. Sam ran in the 400m and managed to place 6th in the state for his age and Ollie's shot put result was a throw of well over 6m, which is an excellent effort ! We are very proud of your efforts in your events. Well done boys!

Well Done Abbey

Abbey recently returned from Orlando, Florida, where she competed on the international stage with the Wynyard Wildcats Cheerleaders. The team of 12 girls, aged between 6 and 12, impressed the judges—and even surprised themselves by taking out the top prize in the Youth Novice division at Nfinity’s FINALS cheerleading competition, an international event that draws teams from around the world. An incredible achievement—well done, Abbey! What an unforgettable experience!

Ditto visits Boat Harbour Primary 

This week, our Early Childhood classes participated in Bravehearts’ Ditto’s Keep Safe Adventure Program—a fun, engaging, and trusted personal safety education session. Designed for children in the early years through to lower primary, the program is curriculum-aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework and the Australian Curriculum. Through songs, storytelling, and interactive activities, students learned important messages about personal safety, including how to recognise warning signs, trust their feelings, and seek help when needed.

Biggest Morning Tea 

Thank you to everyone who supported the SRC in hosting the Biggest Morning Tea. Between the SRC event and the staff morning tea held earlier in the week, over $1,000 was raised for the Cancer Council. This is a fantastic effort and a wonderful contribution to such an important cause.

Farm Land Advisory Group 

We are looking to draw upon the expertise and experience within our school community to help shape the future of our school farm land. By forming a group of individuals who can provide valuable advice, guidance, and input, we hope to explore a range of possibilities that support student learning, community engagement, and long-term sustainability. If you’re available, please come along on Monday evening and join the conversation.

Cross Country 

We are looking forward to holding our first assembly for Term 2 in week 4 on Thursday 22nd May.  The whole school assembly will start at 9.10.  As soon as assembly finishes, we will head out to start the Grade 6 Cross Country. Students in Kinder – Grade 2 will run one lap approx. 1km and students in grade 3-6 will run two laps, approx. 2km.  

We are lucky enough to have Coffee Van ‘Choo Chew Brew’ on site during the Cross Country for parents and students to purchase drinks and snacks from.  

The Cross Country is encouraged for all, with participation a key priority.  Students are welcome to run, jog, walk, or a combination of each.  Like all school-based activities, students are encouraged to try their best.  Walking and completing the course can be fun and still earn points for their House. We are having a practice run/walk on Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th, so please ensure your child has a spare pair of clothes, shoes and socks for this and on the day.
