Uniform
Week 10 and Week 1 of next term are changeover weeks for our school uniform, a time where students may wear either summer or winter uniform depending on the weather. All students should wear their full summer uniform from week 2 of Term 4, Monday October 20. A reminder again that our school uniform expectations include the correct socks and school hat.
Canberra
We wish our Year 6 students a wonderful time in Canberra next week as they participate in an overnight excursion. Students visit The National Museum of Australia, Parliament House, Questacon, The National War Memorial and National Portrait Gallery as well as playing Zone Bowling. A special thank you to our staff Miss Jackson, Mrs Tracey, Miss Mawdsley, Mr Harton, Miss Calizar and Mrs Luscombe who are all volunteering their time to accompany the students. Without staff volunteers, the camp could not run, so we really appreciate their generosity and willingness to participate.
Debating
A group of nearly thirty, Year 5 & Year 6 students, have been involved in debating this term. Next week we start the North Sydney Debating competition where we will debate against other schools in our network - St Michael’s Lane Cove, Blessed Sacrament Clifton Gardens and Marist North Shore. On Monday, Sacred Heart will host the competition, in Week 9 some of our students will travel to Clifton Gardens and in Week 10 to North Sydney. We wish our teams all the best as they debate their given topics.
Swimming
Next term, students in Kindergarten to Year 4 will participate in swimming lessons at Lane Cove Aquatic Center. Our Blue classes have lessons each day in Week 4, 3rd - 7th November and our Gold classes have lessons each day in Week 5, 10th - 14th November. Permission notes will be shared closer to the event.
Our Year 5 and Year 6 students participate in the ‘Sea Australia’ surf education program, which teaches students about safety at the beach and in the surf, including how to look for ‘rips’ and use a paddle board. Year 5 is scheduled for Thursday 4th December and Year 6 on Friday 5th December.
