Great start to Term 1!

The students have settled remarkably well into the new school year, quickly adapting to their routines and classroom expectations. Their enthusiasm and engagement in class activities demonstrate a promising start to the new school year. Overall, their seamless transition reflects a positive outlook for their continued growth and success throughout the year. Parents, please feel warmly welcomed to inquire about your child's progress and learning journey. Our aim is to foster an open and supportive environment between home and school, with the assurance that you are welcome to seek feedback anytime.

Athletics Carnival

The Boat Harbour Primary School Athletics carnival is a wonderful day on the school calendar, bringing so many from our school community together.  The carnival is designed to encourage participation, with every student trying their best and having fun. A big thanks to the numerous parents who attended, cheering on our athletes with immense support. Additionally, we extend a special thank you to the dedicated high school helpers and parent volunteers whose invaluable contributions were instrumental in making the day such a memorable and enjoyable experience for all involved. The combination of running events and novelties allow individuals and teams to shine.  

NWPSSA Interprimary Athletics

Congratulations to the place-getters in Grade 3 to 6 who were selected to represent Boat Harbour Primary School at the NWPSSA Interprimary Carnival. Our students faced tough competition, encountering the coasts most skilled runners and athletes from neighbouring schools. Our students displayed unwavering determination and resilience, showcasing their talents amidst a field of talented competitors. Each member of our team is to be commended on the outstanding sportsmanship and encouragement for each other shown throughout the carnival.

Congratulations to the following students,

Good luck to Skye, Jayda, Jovi and Jack who have been invited to the Twilight Finals next Thursday. We wish you all the very best and well done for making it this far!

NAPLAN

Next week, students in grades 3 and 5 are participating in NAPLAN. This is just one aspect of a school’s assessment and reporting process- it does not replace ongoing assessments made by teachers about student performance. Throughout the year we capture student learning in many different ways to track their progress and share their achievements with you. It is important to remember standardised testing doesn’t measure everything- a student’s unique talents, creativity and resilience are just as important, if not more so! This is a snapshot of student learning on one day of the year and we just encourage students to have a go and do their best!

NWPSSA Student Highlights & Scores 

I went in the 100m and the 200m races at Penguin North West Interschool Athletics. I found it interesting how in the staggered start in the 200m, I was at the front, and then people passed me because I hesitated. Next year if I go, I will know more about how staggered starts work, and I will keep going without looking back. The ice cream that Miss Hayes made us the day after was delicious, it had sour lollies, ice magic, oreos and vanilla ice cream- Lachlan Wade

I went in the 75m and relay and because I came second in the 75m heat, I made it to the semi-final. In the Semi final for the 75m I came third. I enjoyed doing my race. I really liked that the day after at school got an ice cream from Miss Hayes. On my ice cream I had m and m's, magic icing and oreos and sour worms- Obie Coates 

Dear Parents and volunteers,

It is always a highlight to have volunteers and parents working with students across our school. It is now a requirement for all parents, service providers and volunteers to complete safeguarding training before they can volunteer and work with students in any school. Please click on the below link to access the training module so that we can still have you help and support our students.  This training will need to be completed before volunteers can help at our school athletics carnival that is next Thursday. It will be necessary to show us the certificate once you have completed the course.

The video training module can be found at Safeguarding Training.

Thank you,

Peter
