YEAR 6/7 AQUATICS

Over the last two weeks, the Year 6 and Year 7 students have all attended a

day of Aquatics at West Lakes. It was a really fun day with lots of interesting

activities, like sailing, snorkelling, kayaking and surfing. We learnt about

water safety rules for the beach, the lake and in a boat.

There were three important acronyms to remember:

WET: Check the Weather, have the right Equipment, Take someone with you

and Tell someone where you are going.

HELP: Check for Hazards, identify safe Entrances and emergency Exits, use

Landmarks to check your position, make a Plan for safety.

STAY: Signal for help, stick Together, be Aware and Alert, stay with Your boat

and Your equipment.

Everyone enjoyed themselves and learnt something new, and we are very

grateful for the opportunity to participate in such a wonderful day out!

THE BEST PART OF ME

Inspired by award winning photographer, Wendy Ewald, and

author of “The Best Part of Me” picture book, the Year 5

students in L7 engaged in powerful discussions about body

image, self-esteem and diversity. Students responses were

honest, at times humorous, but also deeply moving and

personal. It became an empowering exercise to express

gratitude for our own bodies and their intricate, functional

aspects of particular body parts but at the same time also a

touching reminder of the beauty within and worthiness of us

all.

Small excerpts from student work:

“My heart helps me to be considerate.” - Anon

“My eyes help me see the beautiful world.” - Anon

“My mouth can give a smile to someone in need or send out

comforting words.” -Anon

“My heart pumps blood to my entire body. I love my heart and

my heart loves me.” - Anon

“I really like my ears so I can talk to my friends and family. I will

always be able to listen and to help sort out problems.” - Anon

Providing a quality lifestyle

Parking Around Schools –

No Stopping versus No Parking

No Stopping Drivers must NOT STOP during indicated times for any reason in an area marked No Stopping,

No Standing, as a Bike Lane or a Bus Zone or anywhere marked with a solid yellow line.

No Parking Some schools have drop of and pick up

(kiss n drop, kiss and ride, pick up/drop of)

zones.

These are No Parking Zones during certain

times that can be used for immediate

drop of and pick up of passengers if these

conditions are adhered to:

• The driver must always remain within 3

metres of the vehicle

• Drivers are only permitted to stop for 2

minutes to drop and pick up passengers

• No Parking is only for the times indicated

and outside of that time it is unrestricted

parking unless otherwise indicated

• In the afternoons, arrive after the bell

has gone and allow time for your child to

reach the No Parking Zone. If your child is

not waiting to be collected DO NOT STOP,

instead continue to circulate around and

approach the No Parking Zone again.

• If you need to walk your child into school

then you must park elsewhere.

“No Parking” Zones provide a

safe place for children to be

dropped of and picked up

and allow for high turnover of

vehicles. It works, if everyone

follows the rules and does the

right thing.
