27th June—Term 2 Week 9 2018

WALAWAANI NJINDIWAAN (Welcome everyone)

Girls basketball team goes down 46-21

Today was a tough day for our girls basketball team who played to the best of their ability

against an extremely talented Nowra Public School team in the fourth round of the state

knockout. The first quarter was a fast paced up and down game with points being scored

quickly on both ends. Sanctuary Point got off to a good start and shared the ball on offense

with Jasmin Grant showing a great touch around the basket. Nowra Public had a clear

height advantage which saw them grab most of the rebounds for not only the first quarter but

the whole game.

The halftime score saw our girls down by 9 points. During the third quarter the SPPS girls

showed great character and resilience and started to play a tight defense. Agnus Dann

came away with an abundance of steals allowing for her sister and teammate Priscilla to

make some fast break away baskets. Maddy Murton also came up with another steal and

was fouled on the shot, making her second free throw.

The last quarter was where Nowra began to shoot even better and making it very hard for

our team to score. The end result ended up being 46-21, but the score doesn’t do justice for

how tough the game was for both teams.

Mr Slater would like to congratulate the girls for making it to the fourth round of the State

Knockout and for showing great sportsmanship by playing fair with a great attitude. Also a

further thank you to parents who helped out with the transport and Georgina and Mrs Brown

for coaching, we greatly appreciate it.

We are all very proud of your efforts girls, well done!

PRINCIPAL REPORT

WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THIS WEEK

What an exciting time was had in 4 Djunnga this week, as their classroom was turned into a

spaceship and they all spent the day immersed in the world of space travel. The smiles and

pleasure the students had I’m sure went a long way to helping inspire lots of creativity when

it came to doing some creative writing. It was an experience that the students will remember

and talk about for years to come. Well done Mr Slater for being so imaginative and raiding

everyone’s black sheet collection to make it happen.

SCHOOL REPORTS

We are coming up to that very exciting time of the year when our half yearly reports are sent

home. This Friday your child will be given their report to bring home, I’m hoping that all

parents have been able to make a time with their child’s class teacher to have a 3-way

learning conversation, if you haven’t done so yet, this is a reminder to book in. I really en-

joyed getting to read everyone’s report and learn a little more about each of the wonderful

children we have in our school. We have many students in our school who are working very

hard and trying their best every day. Big congratulations to all our students who have

worked hard this semester.

OUTSTANDING STUDENTS

Any students who receive a 5 for effort or an A on their reports, will be receiving an

Outstanding award for all their hard work. This will be given to students at a special

assembly followed by a morning tea, that will be held early in term 3.

NAIDOC WEEK CELEBRATIONS

Next week is the last week of term 2 and the school will be holding our Naidoc week

celebrations. We will begin on Monday with a school assembly, Kindergarten and Year 1

assembly will be at 10.15am. A longer assembly will be held for the 2-6 students at

12.15pm. Parents are invited to attend and join in our celebration assembly. On Friday the

whole school will be involved in fun activities for the day and it will be a mufti day, students

are to wear the colours red, black, green, blue, white and yellow and what a great way to

finish off the school term.
