Plympton Primary School

Some of our older students have been busy exploring the exciting world of 3D printing in the library! 🖨️✨

Thanks to the initiative and dedication of Sandi, who, with a special helper, took the time to learn how to use our 3D printer, interested students now have the fantastic opportunity to get hands-on with this technology twice a week during lunch times.

It’s wonderful to see students experimenting, creating, problem-solving, and building new skills with emerging technology. A huge thank you to Sandi for making this opportunity possible and inspiring our students to explore, design, and innovate! 👏

🍎 What a fantastic day of learning beyond the classroom! Today, students from Rooms 13.2, 13.7 and 13.8 are enjoying an incredible excursion to Lenswood for apple picking in the beautiful Adelaide Hills.

With sunshine, fresh country air and plenty of hands-on experiences, our students are exploring the journey from paddock to plate, learning where their food comes from and gaining a real-world understanding of food production, sustainability and life on a working orchard. Of course, the apple picking this afternoon will be a definite highlight! 🍏☀️

Experiences like these bring classroom learning to life in meaningful and memorable ways, helping students make authentic connections with the world around them.

A huge thank you to our staff and volunteers who helped make this wonderful learning opportunity possible!

What a wonderful morning we shared at our Mother’s Day Morning Tea today! 🌸

We were delighted to welcome around 40 mums, along with some of their children, who joined us for coffee, tea and a delicious snack. It was such a lovely opportunity for parents to mingle, connect and get to know one another in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

A very special thank you goes to our Events Committee and to staff for all the preparation, organisation and time they generously gave to make the morning such a success.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing mums, grandmothers and special women in our community — we hope you have a beautiful weekend celebrating! 💐

🏀🎾🏐 What a transformation!

Swipe through to see the incredible progress of our brand new basketball, netball and tennis courts—from where we started to where we are now. It’s amazing to see this space taking shape and nearly ready for action!

With completion just weeks away, our students and staff are definitely looking forward to making the most of these fantastic new facilities in Term 2.

We can’t wait to share the finished result soon! 👏

It's the last day of term and to celebrate we are holding a casual day. Please bring a gold coin. Funds will go towards wellbeing initiatives.

Also, please remember our early finish. School finishes at 2:15pm.

Our Receptions in Room 2 took advantage of the huge amounts of rain out the front of their classroom and were given the challenge of trying to make a boat that floated across to the other side! With just a piece of foil, the students had a great time seeing how far they could send their boats.

Congratulations to Barker for taking out the overall Sports Day win, led by Anthea and Chad! 🎉 A big cheer also to Light for winning the Relay Cup under the leadership of Lara and Saanvi. What an outstanding achievement!

It was truly an exceptional day, with every detail thoughtfully planned by Mr Worden, right down to the team colours painted on the oval at each event. The atmosphere, organisation, and school spirit were incredible.

Events like this simply wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our staff and the amazing support from our parent community. Thank you to everyone who helped with set-up and pack-up, and to the many parents, grandparents, and siblings who came along to cheer on our students. At times, it looked like the adults were just as eager to join in as the kids! 😄

We’d love to hear your thoughts, if you have any feedback about the day, please email [email protected]
