St. Joseph's Primary School, Junee

Last week in Bush Kindy our little adventurers ate Wattleseed Ice-Cream. It was a huge hit! Some even went back for seconds and even thirds.

Nearly half way Miss Bradley!

Now available on SchoolTV - ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental condition that affects how children regulate attention, impulses and activity levels. While many children can appear restless, distracted or forgetful at times, ADHD involves ongoing patterns that may impact learning, behaviour, organisation and relationships. These challenges can sometimes lead to frustration at home and school, particularly when a child is trying hard but struggling to meet expectations.

For families, understanding ADHD means recognising that these behaviours are not simply a matter of effort or discipline. ADHD is influenced by a combination of neurological, biological and environmental factors that affect how a child’s brain processes information and manages self-control. With the right support, structure and strategies, children with ADHD can develop the skills they need to succeed and thrive.

This edition of SchoolTV explores how families can better understand ADHD and support children to build confidence, strengthen emotional regulation and navigate everyday challenges more successfully.

Kinder have been enjoying the creativity of Bush Kindy!

They have been designing mandalas using elements from nature and making their very own paint.

After digging up dirt with sticks, mixing in flour with their hands, adding water and a tiny dash of washing up detergent, it was time to paint. They chose to add some food colouring - red (bottle brush/ earth), blue (sky/water) yellow (sun/wattle) and green (grass/trees) - all colours of nature. They used pine cones, twigs, pine leaves and hands to create their artwork and were are amazing little artists, presenting their pieces at the NAIDOC assembly last week.
