Joondalup School Values.

2 Please encourage your children to care for our environment. Children who turn off

dripping taps, repair broken objects rather than throwing them away and use things

more than once, are showing how important it is to respect our environment.

What’s Been Happening

Joondalup Learning Community’s Cross Country Cup Wednesday the 16th August saw Joondalup Primary School participate in the Joondalup Learning

Community’s Cross Country Cup, where students from year 3 – year 6 raced against Springfield

Primary School, Edgewater Primary School, Currumbine Primary School and Heathridge Primary

School, emerging 4th overall.

Well done to all the students who were selected and represented Joondalup Primary School on the

day. If there was an award for effort, Joondalup Primary School would have easily finished first

place.

Congratulations to the year three boys and girls who finished 1st overall as a team, for their year

group. You have proven yourself to be an extremely committed and athletic group of role model

students.

Congratulations to our place winners on the day Mason 1st, Kayden 2nd, John 3rd, Kiya 3rd and Liam

4th.

It was remarkable the way students worked together to encourage one another across the finish

line. During their race, students worked as a team and often Joondalup Primary School was the

most vocal in showing support for their fellow students, creating an incredibly positive

atmosphere.

Thank you to all the parents and guardians who came and supported the students. Your

contribution of time towards cheering on Joondalup Primary School greatly adds to the feel of the

community. We would like to highlight Rebecca Carstairs for her wonderful volunteer work on the

day as well as Mr Hahn for organizing the students in the bay.

Leading up the the event, students trained three times a week with fitness expert, Sue Egan. Sue

was instrumental in the coordination of the student’s preparation and completed much of the

behind the scenes work. A very big thank you to you Sue from Mr Lee and all the students

involved.

If you would like to compete in more cross country events, please contact the Joondalup Little

Athletics Centre on 0424 068 141, via e-mail admin@jlac.org.au or by visiting their website at

What’s Been Happening The Andy Griffiths Kids’ Writing Competition

CALLING ALL KIDS!

Each year Dymocks and Pan Macmillan invite Australian kids to get

creative and enter a writing competition that’s judged by the one and only

Andy Griffiths.

To celebrate the release of The 91-Storey Treehouse, Dymocks and Pan

Macmillan are calling all Andy fans to knock their socks off with their

imaginative short stories. Stories must be between 200-400 words and the

competition closes on 2 October 2017.

As part of the Intensive English programme, the Year 5 and Year 6 students have been busy

illustrating, planning and writing their own short stories for the competition. The students started

their planning by illustrating their own treehouse and from here, their imaginations blossomed

and their short stories have grown.

The one major prize winner will receive their story framed with illustrations by Terry Denton. The

top 5 entries (including the winner) will each WIN* an Andy Griffiths book pack containing 14

books each supplied by Pan Macmillan.

Science Enrichment Program, Term 3 2017

Joondalup Primary School offers a science program that aims to inspire young people to

be science leaders.

The program is designed to cultivate and pass on a sense of wonderment and

scientific curiosity by engaging students in a variety of hand-on investigations that

explore all the fields of science as taught in the Australian Curriculum.

Students are selected by their classroom teachers to participate in a six week

Science Enrichment Program after school. The selected students embark on a

scientific journey through the solar system, explore the chemical structure of ice-

cream and bubble gum and finally take a microscopic look at plant and animal cells.

To further enhance and extend the Science Enrichment Program, students are invited

to attend an excursion to Belridge Secondary College Science Laboratory.

Congratulations to the following Year Four students who were selected to participate

in the program for Term Three 2017; Jude, Holly, Isabel, Cameron, Irish, Charlotte,

Adeena and Kayne.

A special mention needs to be given to James from Year Six, who completed the

program in Term One and has volunteered to be a science assistant this term. His

passion and interest in science are a welcome addition to the program and James is

taking another step towards becoming a science leader of the future!

Settling in!

Yesterday afternoon I was able to help at our Moorditj T-shirt

painting session after school which was enjoyed by everyone.

Well attended by students, parents and staff, it was an artistic

adventure and a lot of fun! Students and parents painted beautiful

bright colours onto their T-shirts and showed great artistry! I am

sure you will hear more about it from Bev-so stay tuned.

I have just started to spend time playing games with some of our

ESC students during recess and lunch once a week, to assist

social interactions during play. More beautiful and enjoyable

moments and I look forward to working with ESC students later in

the term with a BUZ Social Skills program I will facilitate.

From next week you will find me in the library on Thursday

mornings helping out with JPS reading program. I visited this

week - what an amazing school!

Stay tuned…
