Reconciliation Week - Visual Art with Mrs Lindsay
Over the last few weeks, Year 2 and 3 students viewed and explored the artwork, Bridging Now to Next by Bree Buttenshaw for National Reconciliation Week 2025. Students learnt that the leaves symbolise resilience and adaptability of Australia's native flora. The leaf motif embodies the theme of growth and renewal, emphasising the importance of looking towards the future while acknowledging the past.
Room 6 students were inspired by Bree's artwork and created a class collaborative artwork for Reconciliation Week. Each student designed and painted a gum leaf. The other Year 2 and 3 students painted a Banksia using 'wet on wet' watercolour technique and then added imaginative details with Posca pens. A selection of these artworks are currently on display in the glass cabinet near the hall and in our library.

Semester 1 Reports
Semester 1 Reports are currently being prepared.
In these reports, teachers will provide a professional judgement on each student’s level of achievement against the achievement standards outlined in the Western Australian Curriculum. This is done considering the curriculum taught and assessed during the semester.
Families are reminded that grades in Semester 1 reports demonstrate achievement at this point in time. Information on the WA Curriculum, and the Achievement Standards is available here.
In addition to learning area grades, teachers will provide a general comment covering your child’s engagement in learning, areas of strength/growth, and on your child’s social/emotional progress and development. Please be aware that it is not possible to comment on all outcomes – teachers will focus on the aspects of learning which are most important.
Semester 1 reports will be available to parents/carers through Connect on Thursday 26 June.
2026 Enrolment Intentions
As we move into Semester 2, our school will begin planning for the 2025 school year. To do this effectively, we are asking families to provide information on their enrolment intentions for next year.
On Monday, families with children currently in Pre-Primary to Year 5 will be contacted through Connect and asked to provide information on their enrolment intentions for next year through an online form.

Just a friendly reminder, that if you need cupcakes delivered to your child’s classroom for their birthday, please give us enough notice. As the canteen is only open 4 days a week, and supplies only ordered once per week, we really would like a week’s notice. This gives us time to get all the ingredients we need, as well as work it into our schedule. We can deliver Tuesdays through to Fridays, but unfortunately not on a Monday. If you want to place an order, please email us at como.cookout@gmail.com
Roster
Our roster for Term 2 is still almost completely empty and without your help. We are simply not able to operate at full capacity.
You don’t need amazing cooking skills to be able to help, we will guide you through your tasks and you will be a pro in no time. Volunteering in the canteen is also a great way to get involved in our amazing school community and gives you a chance to have a chat and meet new people. The kids simply love seeing their parents at the window and as a thank you, we will also give you a free lunch voucher you can use. If you can spare 2.5 hours somewhere over the next 8 weeks, please head over to Signup.com and put your name down.
