The end of each term seems to come around so much more quickly than the last and Term 1 2021 has been no exception.  The saying, 'time flies when you're having fun', would certainly seem to be true.  Some of the children were this week asked their thoughts about
Term 1:

Everyone makes you feel welcome every day. (Paddy)

I love being with my friends. (Damon)

I have enjoyed being a supportive learner to others in class. (Ollie)

I like coming to school because I learn stuff. (Chase)

I have enjoyed music with Dr Cuskelly because it makes me feel happy. (Jeremy)

I wrote a thank you prayer to my class which helped me appreciate what they mean to me. (Liam O'Dea)

I have learned some new strategies in Maths for doing calculations. (Sarah)

I am getting better at my times tables - but I still need to practise the 'divides'. (Gracie)

Year 6 has been challenging but exciting because we've had to take on more leadership roles. (Vayda)

I like how all the Year 6 students are in one class and that we have space to learn. (Olivia Favaro)

Going to the secondary campus for some of our lessons is exciting because it teaches me how that campus and the teachers work. It also helps us to be less anxious and more prepared for Year 7. (Sophie Roche)

The forthcoming holiday will hopefully provide us all with the opportunity to find refreshment in time spent with family and friends.  On Tuesday 20 April, students will return and engage in activities such as Life Education, NAPLAN, the Border District Eisteddfod, sporting events and a STEAM event in Toowoomba. I would like to express my thanks to all the staff involved with the primary students this term for their tireless work and commitment to each and every student. 

On behalf of the staff, I wish all the students and their families a happy and holy holiday and pray that you have the opportunity to reflect on the hope for all of us that comes from believing in the Risen Christ.

Assistant to the Principal Primary
