Learning for all at Morgan Street Our first assembly last week saw us celebrate the first full week of learning for 2019. Teachers have reported that all students have settled into their learning well and embracing the challenges that a new school year presents.
Today has greeted us with what is forecast to be our hottest day of the school year to date. We will manage the heat in the best way we can to ensure our students stay cool and well hydrated. Tomorrow is forecast to be cooler. We appreciate your support to ensure that your child comes to school each day with a full water bottle and a school hat.
Next week looks like being a week full of events. Monday will be SRC elections for Years 2 - 6. Students who are nominating will write their application during class time with their teacher’s support. Tuesday evening will be our Meet & Greet Expo. Timetables will come home this week indicating when your class meeting will be held. Wednesday will be a Mufti Day fundraiser in support of two Morgan Street dads raising money for JDRF Australia (research and support for Type 1 Diabetes) by doing a 24 hour bike ride. Students can come dressed as their favourite Sports Star to promote a healthy and active lifestyle. Thursday is our school photos before the holding of our annual swimming carnival on Friday 1st March. A week full of wonderful opportunities for our students and community.
Just a reminder for the beginning of a new school year to ensure we are following road rules at drop off and pick up times. This includes ensuring that we are parking in the right areas and not blocking driveways or parking too close to crossings. I know that Police will be monitoring the school areas quite closely. Have a wonderful week of learning!

6 STEM ACTIVITIES
Every Tuesday morning our Year 6 classes will
be joining together with Ms Muir, Miss Porter
and Mrs Gibson to participate in team building,
collaboration and problem solving activities.
Last Tuesday their challenge was to build a
tower of plastic cups using only string and a
rubber band. No student was allowed to touch
the cups with any part of their body. All cups
had to start the right way up. All students in the
group had to help.
Once successful they then had to dismantle the
tower. Some groups even tried it with all team
members except one having their eyes shut .
The best part was the talk. The students
encouraged each other so much. There was a
constant stream of voices telling team mates to
lift or stay steady or pull the string harder. There
were cheers when they were successful.
We look forward in seeing what other
challenges are in store for our Year 6 students.

Congratulations!
HOUSE CAPTAINS Last Friday the Years 3 - 6 students elected their 2019 House Captains. It was
wonderful to see so many Year 6 students keen to nominate. It was also great
to hear so many of them say that the qualities that make a good House Captain
include team work, encouragement and participation. We wish our captains and
vice captains a successful year ahead as they lead their teams in the school
carnivals.
