This week, our Year 3–6 students took part in an exciting incursion delivered by Computer Xplorers. Students had the opportunity to explore a range of hands-on STEM experiences, including game design, 3D modelling, robotics, and coding.

It was fantastic to see students problem-solve, collaborate, and develop their digital technology skills in such an engaging and interactive way.

We are also excited to share that Computer Xplorers will be offering an after-school club next term for students who would like to continue building their skills and interest in coding and digital technologies.

This term, our students participated in an exciting workshop led by professional visual artist Dan Elborne. During the session, students created individual artworks that will contribute to the neighbouring Springleaf Avenue public art installation, part of the new Springleaf Recreation Reserve.

It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to express their creativity while contributing to a meaningful community project. We are incredibly proud to know that the voices and ideas of our students will become part of a public artwork that our community can enjoy and explore for many years to come.

A BIG thank you to Mrs Page for all the hard work she has put into organising this project. What a special experience for the Turrun community!

On Wednesday, our Grade 5 and 6 students enjoyed an exciting excursion to Scienceworks, where curiosity and discovery were brought to life!

Students had a fantastic time exploring interactive exhibitions, participating in hands-on science investigations and engaging with live demonstrations designed to make science fun, exciting and meaningful. Throughout the day, students were encouraged to ask questions, challenge their thinking and discover how science connects to the world around them.

Knowledge is power, and our students are building it every day!

Today we celebrated our incredible Education Support staff for Education Support (ES) Staff Day, recognised each year on 16 May.

At Turrun Primary School, our ES staff are the heart of our school. They support students, teachers, and families in so many ways, through classroom learning, administration, wellbeing, inclusion, and by helping create safe and supportive learning environments for everyone.

Their dedication, kindness, patience, and care make a lasting difference in the lives of our students every single day. We are so grateful for the passion and commitment they bring to our school community.

We are excited to announce that we are about to launch the Dogs Connect program at Turrun Primary School. This is a whole school wellbeing program which will see the introduction of a wellbeing dog in our community. Our school wellbeing dog will become a much loved and important member of our community.

The Dogs Connect program will support us in implementing this very gradually, thoroughly, and considerately. At this stage we encourage anyone who would like to know more about this program to look through the website link below:

https://dogsconnect.net.au

We are very excited to be introducing our wellbeing dog in the near future. We have a team of staff who will lead this program. We look forward to sending more information in the coming days.

We would also like to assure the community that this program will not involve anyone who does not wish to be involved. We know that this work will have a really positive impact on many people in our community, and we acknowledge and respect that connection with our wellbeing dog will be offered on a great variety of levels.
