With five weeks of Term 3 already behind us, time is certainly flying! It has been wonderful to see our students engaged in deep learning experiences and our teachers working alongside them to prepare for upcoming assessments.

Year 6 Interschool Sport

Congratulations to our Year 6 students on a very successful first day of interschool sports last week. Feedback from most sports indicated that the students demonstrated great sportsmanship and support for each other which was really nice to hear. 

Book Week – Book and Adventure

This week our Prep – Year 3 students enjoyed the much-anticipated Book Week Assembly, held on Thursday 21 August at 9:00am in the school hall. It was wonderful seeing all the imaginative costumes inspired by this year’s theme, Book an Adventure. Sincere thanks to Mrs Everett and Mrs Trend in the Discovery Centre for their planning and preparation here.

Bullying NO Way

Last week the school engaged in Bullying. No Way! Week. Across the school, students participated in activities focused on kindness, respect, inclusion, and the importance of speaking up. These lessons are vital for building empathy, confidence, and strong peer connections – all key qualities of what it means to be a proud Baringa SPS learner.

School Musical

The weeks ahead are shaping up to be action-packed. A major highlight will be the opening of our ‘Wizard of Oz’ musical in a few weeks’ time. This exciting production has been brought to life through the dedication of our talented cast and crew, along with the tireless efforts of our staff, P&C, and community volunteers. I can’t wait to see all their hard work shine on stage.

Parent / Teacher Interviews

In Week 8, families will have the opportunity to connect with teachers during our Parent Teacher Interviews. Booking details have been provided, and we encourage all families to take part in these valuable conversations about learning progress and goals.

After School Routines

A reminder that students should only use playground equipment after school if supervised directly by a parent or carer, as this time is essential for teachers to continue planning, preparing, and supporting families. The school takes no responsibility for any injuries that occur to students using the playground equipment after school has concluded for the day at 2.45pm.

Finally, I’d like to extend a thank you to our students, staff, and families for making Term 3 such a positive and productive journey so far. It’s a busy time, but together we continue to create a supportive and inspiring environment for every learner at Baringa SPS.

Have a great week

Mick
