Year Six Kalgoorlie Camp.

We have just returned from a very successful camp to Kalgoorlie. The students had a wonderful time and really enjoyed themselves. We all took part in gold panning, a historical visit to Coolgardie, a visit to the Kalgoorlie and Boulder Town Halls and the Royal Flying Doctor Service. We visited the Loopline Museum, played Two-Up and we went for a swim at the Goldfields Oasis Aquatic Centre. I would like to thank Mr Meachem, Mrs Lowther, Mrs Lavery, Miss McKercher and Miss Preston for all of their assistance.

Welcome to Miss McKercher.

Hello Parents and Caregivers of Room 26,

My name is Kirsty McKercher and I am in my third year of completing a Bachelor in Education degree at Edith Cowan University (ECU). I have been placed into Mr Sherlock’s and Mr Meachem’s classroom for my five weeks of professional practice. For me, the professional practice is what really cemented my passion and love for teaching so I am very excited to be working alongside Mr Sherlock and Mr Meachem for the remaining three weeks. I am also very eager to be accompanying the Year Sixes on their camp to Kalgoorlie as this will be a great educational experience for myself and the students.

STEM Project: Storm The Castle.

The students were given the task of creating a catapult that could fire a ping pong ball through a small window. The students drew designs, constructed their machines and tested the catapults accuracy.

Sports Team Dress Up Day.

The students dressed up in their favourite sporting team colours. Funds raised when to the Year Six Graduation gift to the school.

We conducted our learning journeys in the last week of team. A huge thank you to the parents for attending. It was great to see the students sharing their achievements with their parents and caregivers.
