  Good afternoon! We had a fantastic carnival on Friday with the Year 4's representing their factions so well, they cheered hard and swam their little hearts out.  Our character strength for this week is a great one and quite timely I feel.

Creativity is thinking of new ways to do things.  It involves producing ideas or behaviours that are original and useful. There are two essential components to Creativity- originality and adaptiveness.  A creative individual generates ideas or behaviours that are interesting or unusual and make a positive contribution to the individual's life or the lives of others.

Swimming Trials: We will be completing these this Tuesday 25th October. We will be leaving school promptly at 8.45am so if you can please make sure that your child is on time on this day. Students are to wear their sports uniform. Your child will need to bring the following: Bathers - worn underneath their sports uniform with plenty of sunscreen already applied. Rashie - This is not optional - all students  MUST  wear a rashie as we will be swimming in the outside pool. If your child doesn't bring their rashie on Tuesday, they will need to swim in their sports short which makes life difficult for when they get back to school. Towel Goggles Thongs - to be worn to and from the pool School Hat Recess and plenty of Water - We will be back in
