Term 4 - Week 6 Thursday 17 November 2016

On Friday 11 November the school captains, Marissa and Arwen represented our school at the Remembrance Day service at St Matthew’s Church in Albury. They were joined by students from many schools and organisations from around the district who laid wreaths to commemorate the signing of the Armistice to end World War 1 in 1918.

Compliments and Opportunities Over the past few weeks our Year 5 & 6 students have been given lots of opportunities to be involved in some wonderful experiences outside the classroom. Our senior students went to Canberra on the Year 5/6 excursion for three days. Some student recounts below:

Our senior students have also participated in the Durakar Leadership Day, NAIDOC celebrations involving the NRL and today the Year 6 students went to the Durakar Sports Day. Our Year 3 & 4 students are going on their excursion to Wymah next week and they are very excited about what is on offer for them. Lots of activities have been organised and the chance to share some time together away from the school setting. For some students this is their first holiday experience and a very exciting time for all. We believe our staff and students are wonderful but it has been humbling to receive some positive feedback and comments from outside the Springdale Heights community. Our staff have been praised for their professionalism, flexibility, organisation skills and the caring attitude towards our students. Our students have been praised for their dress, manners, behaviour, involvement and enthusiasm to participate in all activities that have been on offer. Springdale Heights Public School is the place to be!

Mrs Louise Purss-Semple-Assistant Principal

Durakar Leadership Day Last week Springdale Heights Public hosted the annual Durakar Leadership Day. This day was represented by the Durakar Learning Community made up of Lavington East, Jindera, Lavington Public and Springdale Heights Public Schools. Leaders from each school came together to participate in various activities throughout the day. They enjoyed activities such as NRL sport with Dean from the NRL Leadership Program, a Leadership video presentation and a guest speakers from Murray High School the Department of Education and a local identity. They enjoyed a wonderful lunch which was prepared supplied by Alison from our canteen. All children were very happy with the day and the chance to meet up with each other—as they will move on together and most likely meet up again when they move on to High School. Each student received a Participation certificate.

HSIE Unit—Familiar Environments Lavington East Public School, Kinder students, visited our school recently to look at familiar environments, as they are learning about Local Buildings and Local Businesses. They had to work out what was the same and what was different about our school compared to theirs. Our Kinder and K-1 students enjoyed playing with their new friends and having lunch together.
