It has been a busy time at Joondalup with lots of events happening over the next few weeks. Last week was the P&C school disco which was well attended by students across the whole campus. There was a session for everyone, and the music, fairy floss and glow sticks were definitely a hit!

A huge thank you to the P&C for organising the event.

Science Week

Last week some of our upper primary students entered a robotics competition being held at Belridge Secondary College. They travelled with students from Joondalup Primary School to enter the robot they had created. Please see Miss Brough's article further in the newsletter.

Sensorium

Sensorium is at Joondalup! Our middle primary students will be engaging in a session each week on ”Ten Tiny Things” a story written by Western Australian Authors Kyle Hughes-Odgers and Meg Kinlay. Sessions are a live interactive performance by the talented actors at Sensorium. Students have the freedom to join in, move around and be part of the performance. Performers from Sensorium will be with us each Friday for four weeks.

Book Week

We are celebrating Book Week this week, and tomorrow is dress up day! Come to school in your favourite character. We will have the chance to see everyone’s costumes when we have a huge parade on the oval. There will be activities happening throughout the week.

Faction Carnival

Faction carnival is coming up! Some information has been sent out on SeeSaw about the day, and is included below. Students have been practising for the events, and have had run offs to determine which race they will be in on the day. They are also practising long jump, throws and tug of war, as these all take place before the big faction carnival held on Friday 1 September.

On Tuesday 5 September Senior students (Years 3 – 6) will participate in the Education Support interschool carnival. This will be held at Beldon Education Support Centre. The junior carnival (Year K – 2) will be held on Thursday 7 September at Creaney Education Support Centre. This year families are welcome to come and watch on the day. The carnival has been spread across two days because of the number of schools and students attending. Beldon and Creaney are able to prepare activities and the day for these age groups.
