Week 3 Update
Mark Greenwood
Last week as a school we were very lucky to receive a visit from renowned WA author, Mark Greenwood. Mark is a prolific writer and he has written numerous books based on historical events in Australia, with a particular focus on Western Australia. Mark spoke to our senior students, sharing his love of writing and explaining how he builds and develops his stories. Under Marks guidance, our Yr 6 students then had the opportunity to plan their own story. Looking forward to reading the finished stories! Big thank you to Mrs Whisson for organising the incursion.

Lot of excitiement in the Yr 6 classrooms this week. The Yr 6 students will be heading off on their school camp this coming Wednesday, to Swan Valley Adventure Centre. The teachers have organised a full three days of activities that the students are very much looking forward to., I’m looking forward to hearing about the camp on their return. Big thank you to Ms Coppins, Ms Oliver and Mrs Chia for giving up their own family time to enable the students to go on camp.
