Allansford and District Primary School

Yesterday, our Year 5 and Year 6 students attended the Primary Performers production of 𝒞𝒽𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝒞𝒽𝒾𝓉𝓉𝓎 𝐵𝒶𝓃𝑔 𝐵𝒶𝓃𝑔.

Students thoroughly enjoyed this engaging and high-quality musical performance, which provided a valuable opportunity to experience live theatre. 🎶✨

A particular highlight was seeing our own Chiara in a leading role, demonstrating confidence and strong performance skills on stage. 🌟

We commend our students for their exemplary behaviour and the respectful way they represented our school. We also extend our thanks to staff for their organisation and support in providing this enriching experience. 🙌

Congratulations to our Regional Cross Country runners from Tuesday. Once again, there were big fields and tough competition. 🏃 👏

Harley finished 28th, an excellent result for someone who just turns up and runs.

Emmett has once again qualified for States this year after placing 6th in his group.

Well done to both boys, and we look forward to cheering Emmett on later in the year. ✨

Yesterday, our Community SALT team organised a special “Hoodie Up for Autism” day to recognise individuality and celebrate the diversity within our school community.

This year’s theme, Diversity in Our Community, encouraged understanding, inclusion, and acceptance of the many different ways people learn, think, communicate, and belong within our school environment. 🌏✨

Students were invited to wear a hoodie or comfortable clothing of their choice as a way of showing support and celebrating what makes each student unique. 💙

As part of the day, students completed a classroom activity that will contribute to a whole school display with the message: “We All Fit Together.” 🧩🤝

We are proud to celebrate a community where everyone belongs. 💛

Yesterday our Year 3 to Year 6 students had the opportunity to meet and chat with Geelong AFLW players. 🏉

The players delivered a small presentation, and students had the chance to ask questions and learn more about their experiences. The visit finished with plenty of fun on the top oval, including kick to kick, handballing, and active games together.

Thank you, Bridie, Jacqui, Katie and Nicola, for visiting ADPS and inspiring our students through sport and shared experiences. 👏

On Friday, our students and staff participated in National Walk and Ride Safely to School Day. 🚶‍♀️🚴‍♂️

Students were encouraged to walk or ride all or part of the way to school, promoting healthy habits and an active lifestyle. In doing so, they also made a positive impact on reducing traffic congestion around the school as there were less students being dropped off by parents. 💪

Our Healthy Moves SALT supported the event by counting participants, analysing whole-school participation data, speaking at assembly, and presenting prizes. 🏆📊

Congratulations to all students and families who took part and helped make the day a success. 👏

Remember: be active, be safe.🚦

Tuesday, we held our Busy Bee Brunch, where we were delighted to meet potential 2027 Foundation students and their families. 🐝✨

Everyone enjoyed a quick tour of the school and our facilities before the children participated in a range of fun activities, including arts and crafts, science, colouring, and Play-Doh construction. 🎨

Guests also enjoyed the ‘Bee Bop’ performance by our Year 5 students, as well as a video created by current students showcasing why Allansford and District Primary School is such a wonderful place to learn. 🎶

We were also excited to welcome a special visitor, Ted the Bee, who buzzed around adding to the fun and friendly atmosphere. 🐝😊 🐝

Parents had plenty of opportunities to ask questions and chat with staff throughout the morning. 🏫

We are incredibly proud of our Year 5 students, who were outstanding hosts and shone throughout the morning with their friendliness and kindness. They ensured the activities ran smoothly and engaged all of our visitors in a fun and welcoming way.👏

A big thank you to our wonderful Year 5 students and our fabulous Parents’ Club for preparing the delicious food for the brunch. 💛💚

Congratulations to Billy, Remi, Keeda, Bonnie, Isla, Emmett, Ollie, Jordy, Harley, and Morgan on their efforts representing our school at the Division Cross Country event on Friday. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👏

With each race featuring up to 75 competitors, the day was certainly busy, navigating the course while working through the heavy traffic.💪

A special congratulations to Emmett for placing 3rd and Harley for placing 9th. Both have progressed to Regionals on the 26th of May!🏃‍♂️
