It was wonderful to see so may students and staff dressed up as their favourite characters. A big thanks to all the staff who coordinated book week activities and organised the book fair.
‘Wattle building’ redevelopment
This year the school council has applied to use school funds to refurbish the old Wattle Building, now known as Green Pod. Existing classrooms will be redeveloped along with the addition of two new classrooms and will include some collaborative spaces for parents and students to work together. All classrooms will have access to the outdoor play spaces, which are also being redeveloped. Construction on this is due to commence at the end of Term 3 and works should be complete January 2019.

Classrooms in Action
The school offers the successful ‘Classrooms in Action’ mornings for parents and carers of our students.
These events provide an opportunity for parents to understand in more depth what and how we teach, as well as having the opportunity to visit and see the classrooms in action and also receive clarification around the Speech Pathology and Occupational Therapy service provided at WAS. The dates of the 2019 Classroom in Action events will be posted here in the future.
