Assembly - TA 8
A very active and busy term two is rapidly coming to a close. This term we have had numerous activities and events happening including: swimming lessons, social dance lessons, interschool sports, library book fair, chess club, year six transition program at Greenwood College and walk to school breakfast to name just a few. Term three will be just as active with Scitech, Australian Mathematics competition, class restaurants, music performance at Crown Theatre, school photos and athletics carnivals all scheduled.
ASSEMBLY This morning our assembly was hosted by our year six students from TA 10 with the theme ‘Be Yourself.’ The students created and performed six different skits around this topic. There were some clever ideas and certainly the audience were left in no doubt as to how they should feel and act! This was further enhanced with the whole class singing the Cyndi Lauper classic ‘True Colours’; very apt! Way to go TA 10 students, Mrs Hudson and Mr Sturmer! Everyone was further entertained by our advanced singing ensemble under the direction of Ms Pinakis with their versions of ‘Una Familia’ and ‘Hallelujah’. These were also the songs that the advanced singing group performed so well at the Joondalup Eisteddfod earlier this term. Certainly a very talented group. Well done also to the many students who received certificates this morning.
SOCIAL DANCE Tuesday was a wonderful day and evening for all students and their families involved in the social dance finale. It was terrific to see the large number of parents and grandparents who were able to attend and participate in each of the class demonstrations. This really did create an excellent atmosphere where there were plenty of laughs and smiles all round. The evening was also a great success with a huge turnout of families which again made for a most enjoyable night. My congratulations to the individual year level dance winners on the night. Once again this program, which has been running at Dalmain Primary School for many years, has been a resounding success. My thanks to Todd, Olivia and Tiffany from Humphreys’ Dance Studio for their terrific work with our students across this term.
SCHOOL WEBSITE Have you looked at our school website recently? There is an enormous amount of important information for parents and visitors there about our school. This is constantly being reviewed and updated throughout the year. The latest format, which is still being worked upon, now includes additional information about some of our school initiatives undertaken including Wastewise, Nature Play and the DUG. Please take the time to have a look around this excellent information resource.

Dalmain Netball Club
Pre Primary and Year 1 Net-Set-Go 2017
It was an absolute pleasure to teach the Pre Primary and Year 1 Net-Set-Go girls in Term 2. Some of the
girls had never played netball before. Their enthusiasm, fantastic listening skills and awesome
development meant that by the end of our 8 week programme all of the girls could do a chest pass, and
catch, most could successfully pivot, some could shadow, lead, land and defend and we have a few star
shooters in the making.
Everyone enjoyed learning the positions in netball, having scratch match and Golden Child, Rob the Nest,
Piggy in The Square and the Shooting Cone Game were amongst the favourite games.
We were very grateful for all of the awesome parent help and loved our
special thank you gift. We hope the girls continue to develop their skills
and we hope to see them back in 2018!

Dalmain Primary School are the joining
the PLASTIC FREE JULY Challenge!
Plastic Free July is an initiative of the Western Metropolitan Regional Council (WMRC) Earth Carers Program. Plastic Free July aims to raise awareness of the amount of plastic in our lives by encouraging people to eliminate the use of single-use plastic during July each year. It started here in Perth in 2011.
Next term all students and staff at Dalmain will learn about single-use plastics, and how they impact the environment once they are discarded.
Students and staff are encouraged to choose to refuse single-use plastic for the month of July or longer! Single-use includes plastic shopping bags, plastic cups, straws, plastic containers and packaging... basically anything that’s intended only to be used once and then sent to landfill.
Through the whole school focus students and staff will investigate solutions and behaviours to avoid products in plastic packaging, reducing where possible and recycle what cannot be avoided.
