Celebrations and achievements
Term 3 is flying by, and we've had some wonderful experiences for our students. Last week, we celebrated NAIDOC Week, where students participated in a variety of activities. The Colour Fun Run was certainly one of the highlights of the week, bringing joy to both the young and the young at heart.
We are thrilled to see our students excel in various sports, showcasing their diverse passions. Last month, Year 6 students Isla and Tara represented the NT in the School Sports Australia Games Swimming Championships for 10-12 years at the Gold Coast Aquatic Centre. Competing in over six individual events and multiple relays, both girls achieved personal bests and demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship. Isla was also honoured with a sportsmanship award, one of only five athletes selected for this recognition. Congratulations to both students!
Additionally, Year 4 student Emily and Year 6 student Sophie are two of six gymnasts selected for the NT Gymnastics State Team. They will be traveling to Tasmania in September to compete in the Bigham Cup. We wish them the very best of luck!
As we move forward in the term, we will continue to provide opportunities for students to engage in school activities. I am particularly looking forward to the Book Week Parade next week and can't wait to see the creative costumes our students will bring to life. We are also excited that the cast of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory – the new musical, which contains a number of Year 5 and 6 students, will perform at Assembly in Week 5. We hope you have all booked your tickets to the show!
