LAST Monday Allan Skippen was named as the recipient of the NSW Foster and Kinship Carer of the year at an awards ceremony in Sydney.

We are very fortunate to have Allan as our chaplain and this is a marvellous acknowledgement for this very humble and caring man and his quiet and long term commitment to young people.

Year 3T

The stage two, year three classes have been learning about night and day in their science primary connection unit this term.

Mr Evans and 3T formed a circle to demonstrate how the Earth rotates and how the sun castes shadows at different times of the day.

The students placed blocks in a variety of areas around the school to record the movement of the sun.

Another learning activity was to make a sun dial with blocks and string.

The students of 3T said that it has been a wonderful learning experience.

K - 6 assembly

Our next K - 6 Assembly will be this Friday from 2.45pm and will be hosted by KN.

If you can make it please come along and support the students and you will be entertained by our talented students.

Positive Behaviour for Learning

Members of the newly formed PBL team, with assistance from our captains, have been in the playground with our proposed values and expectations sign.

This is given our community the opportunity to consider the values they think are important.

Buddy and Friendship Bench

A big thankyou goes to Bunnings for donating a Buddy Bench to the students of Westdale Public School.

Our Student Representative Council has also purchased a Friendship Bench, for our playground.
