News from the Principal
Dear Parent, Guardians and Carers,
Thank you once again for your ongoing support with remote learning. The mental health of our families is paramount at this time, so please go gently with yourselves, allow time for some fun activities with your children and make the most of the warmer weather expected this week.
At this stage we are unsure of what next week will look like, so in order to allow some certainty for those families who are essential workers we will send out the link for next week’s onsite supervision with this newsletter. Please complete and return prior to Sunday 3pm when it will close. Any requests after that cut off time can be made to the school on Monday morning. Please remember to send through the updated permits as well.
Onsite Intention Form 6th -10th September
Two of our grade 4 students have showcased their art talents in a nationwide competition conducted by Zart Art. Chelsea and Amelie joined 4000 students from around Australia and created an artwork on the theme: Our Celebration of Australia.
Amelie’s artwork was entitled ‘Wildlife in the Outback’. Amelie attends art classes at a local art studio and also enjoys doing online watercolour courses with Torquay artist, Natalie Martin. Amelie said “I got my inspiration from local artist Celia Rosser’s artwork, she draws a lot of native plants so I thought it might be a good idea to do a banksia. The banksia looked plain by itself so I decided to add a black cockatoo to contrast the banksia”. Amelie’s art was one of 20 pieces in her category to be included in the short listed section for final judging and she received a $50 voucher as recognition.
Chelsea created an artwork entitled ‘‘Kookaburra.’ Chelsea also attends art lessons locally outside of school and her art instructor supported Chelsea by providing her with the materials to complete her art piece which she painted in her free time at home. Chelsea completed the art over a 4 day period, spending several hours each day working on her creation. Chelsea chose a kookaburra for her art as she felt it was a great representation of Australia. Chelsea painted her art using acrylic paints.
We are very proud of both girls and the beautiful artwork that they have created. It is wonderful to see our students pursuing their interests and developing their skills and talents.
