Incursions
On Friday 18th June we had our NAIDOC incursion for classes at the Padbury campus. Students learned about the Noongar language and culture through songs. NAIDOC week is in the upcoming school holidays, 4-11 July 2021. This week is held to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Permission slips and payments are due by Thursday 1st July. We have had huge success in the past with Edu-Dance and students thoroughly enjoy the dance lessons. The first session is on Monday 26th July, and lessons continue each week of next term.
School Development Days
The focus for our last School Development Day was Maths and Technologies. A school focus is increasing the capacity of staff to use STEM resources to develop students’ language and problem solving skills. Teachers are excited to apply this learning to the classroom. Please note that our next School Development Day is Thursday 12th August 2021. Students from the WCLDC do not attend school on this day.
