Swimming and Dance

Specialist Programs of Swimming and Dance have commenced. Our students are very fortunate to have skilled teachers in both of these specialty Learning Areas. Here are some photos of the Dance and Swimming Programs in action. 

Kindy Visit 

On Tuesday 12^th October we had a visit from the Kindergarten Educator Little Ducks Fortitude Valley, Souter. This is part of the work of our Early Years Network. Souter enjoyed visiting classes to see how we do transitions, Read Write Inc, writing, Dance, eating and play. She was amazed to see the growth of students she remembers from Kindergarten. During week 9, the Prep Teachers will be visiting Little Ducks to observe the Kindergarten program and consider further strategies for our transition to Prep supports. This Early Years Network is also organising a free parent session on Mental Health and Wellbeing, presented by our own Guidance Officer Jo Minto, on Thursday 28^th October. See the flier attached to this newsletter for further information.

2022 Prep Open Morning

On Thursday 14^th October we held our Prep Open Play Morning. It was attended by approximately 70 children. Our future Prep students had the opportunity to do construction, draw, cut and paste, play, meet our Prep staff and make some new friends. Our future Prep parents had the opportunity to meet each other, find out some information about Jabiru, and have an hour to themselves. Welcome to our wonderful school community new students and parents!
