It’s been another dynamic week where teaching and learning experiences highlight the inclusive, creative culture and high expectations we have for every student. Stage 3 students attended an excursion to the Royal Botanic Garden where they investigated a wide variety of local native plants integral in the life of the first Australians. Students had the opportunity to take a self-guided tour with their teachers and enjoyed creating scientific diagrams.

Homework review – Stage 1, Stage 2 & Stage 3 This year our school is conducting a review of homework practice (homework trial) to determine fu-ture directions in relation to homework policy for the 2018-2020 School Plan cycle. The School Lead-ership Team is currently reviewing feedback surveys collected from students, parents and teachers regarding the trial. As part of our commitment to improving homework practices we will share this feedback with our school community and finalise our new policy and practices, in Term 4. In the in-terim, homework will continue to be in a combination of traditional and alternative formats for Stage 1, 2 and 3. Cantabile Music Festival Members of our choir will be performing at the Sydney Opera House in the Cantabile Music Festival on Thursday. We wish all our students attending a wonderful and enjoyable experience. This is valua-ble learning as student academic and social success is strongly linked to accessing rich and diverse extra‐curricular opportunities. We thank Miss Zuccali, Miss Healy and Mr Debnam for their dedica-tion and contribution to performing arts at this high level. Welcome back Mrs Prouty We welcome Chris Prouty back from leave this week, we’ve missed her, and her work in connecting families and community to the school.

Stage 3 Excursion On Wednesday Stage 3 went to the Botanic Gardens. We investigated the differ-ent environments in which plants live and the adaptations that help them to survive. We also participated in an Aboriginal Garden Tour and learnt about plants that Aboriginal people used for survival. Our tour guides were Terry and Sumatra and they were very knowledgeable. They showed us a plant that could be used like a whistle to scare snakes away, trees that could be used as medicine, to clean skin or to catch fish. We also got to explore aboriginal weapons for hunting and experience their dance culture. It was a very educational day that helped us un-derstand traditional land management and modern sustainability better. By Winona and Juliet
