Scotts Head PS District Swimming Team
Congratulations on a fantastic carnival, we appreciate the team spirit that you have shown our school. Thanks to Bu Anna and the parents for supporting our students in their sporting endeavours.
Peer Leadership Camp
On the 12th and 13th of February year five and six students went on a leadership camp at the Scotts Head Youth Centre. They did all sorts of activities. Everyone’s favourite activity was ghost crabbing. Followed by Harry Mitchell, one of Mrs E’s students she taught who she invited back to tell the year 6 students about high school and the adventures he had when he was at Scotts Head Public School.
Then the third favourite thing was cooking the dinner on the barbeques with Mrs E and Mrs Stuart. All the kids loved being taught by Mrs E and seeing her. The kids worked great together to clean up they also went to the rock pool for a swim. We had and new record at our leadership camp not only did everyone pass the exam but everyone got 16/16 which is an awesome achievement.

(INDONESIAN LANGUAGE & CULTURE ACTIVITIES) From Term 1, week 5 we will be commencing Indonesian Language and Culture activities (ILCA) on Friday afternoons from 2 – 3pm. First session is Friday 27 February. ILCA will consist of fun and motivating extra-curricular activities through which our students will engage with Indonesian language and culture. ILCA is also aimed to engage parents and the wider community with our Bilingual Program in a variety of settings and activities. We would love your participation! The note will come home on Monday for parents to indicate if they wish to help out with the activities. The students will be rotating throughout the activities in Peer Groups over eight weeks. A huge thank you to the parents who are volunteering for this program.

On Friday the 27th of February we are holding a Harmony Day Disco. You will need to wear as much orange as possible. The cost will be five dollars each and that will cover the barbecue, drinks, dessert, disco, prizes for the king and queen for each class and great music. Next week the SRC will be distributing a colour competition which will be judged on the night. A permission note will come home soon.
Bio-Dynamic Garden
Every Thursday between 2 and 3pm we have a class come to the gardens to learn vegetable gardening, Australian Natives or growing and harvesting bush tucker. There are few schools in NSW that offer this to their students. But we can't do it without the help of parents. We need only 1 person per week. Were we to have 4 people working on a roster basis each mum/dad would help once a month. If you can help, please leave your name at the office. Michael Blockey, Learnscape Co-ordinator.
