Dear Parents, Caregivers and Community Members,
Attendance:
It is hard to believe that we are almost at the end of Term 3. This term
has been busy with our students being able to participate once again in 88%
extra curricular activities such as R-5 swimming and school camp for our
Year 6/7 students at Wallaroo. Thank you to all of our amazing, dedicated Week 8 & 9
staff for organising these experiences for our students. We appreciate the
extra time and effort that you so willingly dedicate to making these weeks run
smoothly.
Next term we have a number of whole school events which will be held, however they will be adapted
to accommodate social distancing requirements due to COVID. Please see details of these events
below:
Book Week will be held in Week 2 of Term 4 (19th- 23 October) with a theme of Curious Creatures and
Wild Minds. Staff have agreed to hold our annual Book Week Assembly on Friday 23rd October in gym
however parents will not be invited. Classes will post pictures to parents via Seesaw.
Sport’s Day will be held in Week 5, Term 4 (13th November) which is PE Week. We will be holding a
normal Sport’s Day however parents will not be able to attend due to physical distancing restrictions.
End of Year Concert will be held in Term 4, Week 8 during school time. Videos of class performances
will be sent via Seesaw platform to families.
Once again thank you for your continued support during these challenging times. We appreciate
everything that you are doing to ensure that all of our students and school community remain safe.
Parents are invited to participate in a department-wide survey with a focus on parents’ engagement in
learning. You can find more information at www.education.sa.gov.au/parentsurvey

At the end of this term, we will farewell Jen Locke who has been an Intervention and Breakfast Club
SSO for the past two years at our school. Jen is returning to work in the Disability field as a Community
Liaison Coordinator with the Royal Society for the Blind. We will all miss Jen but wish her well in her
new endeavours. We will also say goodbye to Ms Jane Rochfort who will be taking Maternity leave to
have her second child. We wish Jane and her family well as they welcome a new family member. Jane
will be replaced by Mrs Naomi Ellis.
I hope that you have a wonderful holiday with you children spending some time outside in this
beautiful spring weather that we are experiencing.
Kind regards
Catherine

Wild Times at Wallaroo for Christies Campers
On the 7th - 9th of September the year 6/7 students from Christie’s Beach Primary School went to the active
education campsite at cu @ Wallaroo to indulge in new learning opportunities and team building activities. On this
extravagant event the year 6/7 students were accompanied by the magnificent staff from Christie’s Beach Primary
School, namely Mr. Marcus, Mr. Currie, Miss. Baxter and Jen L.
Whilst at the campsite the Christie’s kids and staff participated in a range of activities that included wood oven pizza
making, disco with florescent body paint, orienteering, survival bracelet making and teambuilding. The pizza making
involved getting in to different groups that participated in making a variety of different pizzas, to accommodate the
variety of diets to suit the needs of students and staff. The disco was lots of fun and we got to put glow in the dark
body paint all over faces and white t-shirts whilst also celebrating the 26th (????? ) birthday of one very special Mr.
Currie. The birthday celebrations included a rather delightful birthday cake. The boys participated in a hilarious
dance battle with the girls which culminated in Manaia falling on his face trying to jump over the boys {the girls
won}.
Further activities included a quiz night, orienteering and squiding in which Zion caught a small squid, however this
was rather inadequate because we had to feed 58 students. We also had a surprise visit from Miss V who helped
decorate Mr Currie’s cake and showed off her waitressing skills by serving the students their dinner.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the staff from Christie’s Beach Primary School for accommodating
our ‘wonderful’ behaviour although Mr. Marcus did release his inner Sergeant Major with his hair raising, blaring
voice at the boy’s cabins on the last night of camp.
