Dear Parents/Caregivers

Our vision is to foster every individual’s academic and social development driven by high expectations for success and aspirations for them to become resilient, respectful individuals.

Kaya Families,

Last week students engaged in various activities learning about Reconciliation Week, and as a final acknowledgement our 6B kindy class hosted their very first assembly. They performed heads and shoulders in Noongar and taught the school an Acknowledgement to Country. We presented our Aussie of the Month award to Benjamin from Room 8.

Behaviour Focus

Our behaviour focus for Week 8 is:-

Value Focus: Responsibility

• We speak to a duty teacher if we need support, or someone is hurt at recess and lunch

Students Late to School

If your child arrives late to school, they are missing critical morning routines and learning activities. The school day begins at 8:40am and students will be considered late if they do not arrive by this time. If your child arrives after 9:00am you are required to enter through the front office and provide us with a reason for the lateness. A late slip will be printed for you to give to the class teacher.

Not Feeling Well?

If your child is not feeling well before school, please keep them home and notify the office by phoning 6206 4200, sending an SMS to 0437 480 486 or emailing somerly.ps@education.wa.edu.au.

Late Collection of Students

Somerly Primary School has a student finish time of 2.45pm each day. If your child has not been picked up before 3pm, you will be required to come to the front office to sign them out.

Waste Wise Schools

Gardening Club

Kaya Somerly community,

Due to the wet weather last week we were unable to get into the garden.  We did however have our annual “It’s Cowabunga to be Green” challenge. Participating classrooms had to pick up rubbish around our school on Wednesday and Thursday. The class that collected the most rubbish won the challenge. Our students picked up enough rubbish to fill two 140 litre bins!

Our Challenge winners were:

Don’t feed the fill!
Be the Change!

Thank you to all our staff, students, and community for continuing to support our Containers for Change challenges!

Congratulations!

2023 Total 51526 containers!
2024 Goal 60000 containers!
Our current total is 22815 containers!

Congratulations - as a whole community we collected 7722 containers for our Green House Challenge and Lily’s family won the $50 Bunnings voucher!

Our next challenge and final challenge for term 2 will be our Environment Day Challenge:

Our Land our Future!

We have some great prizes for our students, parents and teachers.

Bring in your 30 containers to receive a ticket into the draw for a $50 Woollies Voucher!  This will be drawn in week 11 at our Monday morning communications meeting!
