Our Visit to Cringila Public

28 students and parents led by teacher Mrs Chris Askew went on an excursion to Cringila Public School, near Port Kembla. The purpose of the field trip was to receive some further inspiration for the school’s proposed vegetable garden, which is expected to get under way later this year.

Official Opening of "Jax Place" (Shelly Park)

The students in the Senior Choir and students in the SRC assisted in the official naming of the playground at Shelly Park in recognition of Jackson Stubbs. Jackson sustained extensive injuries in a car accident which also left him an orphan. He was subsequently raised by his grandmother who earned an OAM for her tireless efforts to improve the lives of people with disabilities. Jackson’s grandmother and representatives from Sutherland Council attended and gave speeches.

For your information Shelly Park Playground has been specifically designed as an 'equal access' playground which provides an inclusive environment for children and adults of all abilities to participate in community recreation activities in the Sutherland Shire.

Our students sang "We're All in this Together"

An Easter Parade occurs annually with students from ES1 and S1 participating. Students from Stage 2 and 3 participate in a Design and Make Competition involving decorating eggs and submitting them in a particular category. The Eggshibition is put on display in the Library. The school community is invited to both events and a monster egg easter egg raffle is run by Year 6 students to raise money for their end of year celebrations.
