Message from the Executive Administration Team

Dear Parents and Caregivers

We enjoyed beautiful spring weather for the annual Faction Athletics carnival last Thursday at the WA Athletics Stadium. All students participated and strived for personal and team goals with courage and outstanding sportsmanship while revelling in the opportunity to compete at a world class stadium. It was wonderful to see the strong parent and family support throughout the day. Many parents were balancing volunteering and supporting their children. Thank you, it was the best carnival yet!!

Teaching and Learning

This week our Kindy students participated in National Science Week activities with a fun morning of science investigations. Forty students explored eight learning stations with a sense of anticipation, wonderment and awe. We will also continue celebrating Science in Week 10 with our official school Science Week!

Students are continuing to explore the Deep Blue inquiry learning thread in classrooms. Year 2 students have been developing their descriptive writing skills in literacy, using visual stimuli to prompt their imagination.

In Art, Year 4 students have been creating mixed media collages with stunning results. We look forward to inviting families into classrooms for our showcase afternoon in the final week of term to share more of your children’s learning journeys.

Quality Learning Environment

Mental health and wellbeing remains a focus for all students and staff at Wembley Primary School; particularly in the current climate as our community recovers from the significant effects of a global pandemic. A range of embedded practices including; a whole school health operational plan that incorporates values education, mindful programs, cyber safety, Champion Life, physical, social and emotional health, protective behaviours and restorative behaviour management practices supports student wellbeing.

These programs are supported by the Student Services team; Classroom teachers, Deputy Principal Alan Ramsey, School Pyschologist Tracy Klonowski, Mental Health in Schools Officer (Department funded) Hannah Cox and School Chaplain Jane Sexton. If you have concerns around your child’s wellbeing please email the class teacher or relevant team member.

No Hat No Play – September to May

All students need to wear hats during recess, lunch and all outdoor activities from 1 September until 31 May 2021.  Please note, this Thursday 27 August is forecasted for 26 degrees, please ensure your child has a hat in their bag.

Yours in learning
