Keeping Our School Healthy

Thank you to those families who have supported the health and wellbeing of our students and school community by keeping students who are unwell at home.

In the last week, we have had students displaying symptoms of gastroenteritis (such as vomiting and diarrhoea). Parents are asked to be particularly mindful, and if your child is displaying these symptoms, or cold and flu symptoms, to please keep them at home. This assists in children recovering sooner and helps to reduce the spread of illness within our school.

Premier’s Reading Challenge

The Premier’s Reading Challenge is a literacy engagement program which aims to encourage students to read more books for enjoyment, and to improve literacy levels.

Reading helps children make sense of the world around them. It builds curiosity, enhances their imagination, and is a wonderful source of entertainment. By making time each day to either read with your child, or by encouraging them to read, parents/carers are making a difference to their child’s literacy.

The challenge is to read and log twelve (12) or more books before Friday 27 June. Each week, students who log their reading will automatically go in the draw to win a prize.

Our school encourages all students from Kindergarten to Year 6 to participate in the Premier’s Reading Challenge. You can help your child sign-up, or update their details, via the website – www.premiersreadingchallenge.wa.edu.au.
