Dear GSK Community,
Welcome to Week Seven!
Last week was another busy and exciting one for our school at the Catholic Schools Performing Arts Festival Congratulations to Year Five students Jolyn and Sebastian, who sang a duet in the Vocal section of the Festival. Their joyful rendition of Count on Me was wonderful, and they should both be very proud of their fabulous performance.
On Friday, the students in Years Three, Four, Five and Six all performed in the Choral section of the Festival and should be incredibly proud of their achievements. The adjudicator was very impressed with the fine performances of all our choirs, reflecting the hard work and dedication the students have put into their preparation. Thank you also to our families for ensuring the students looked so smart and presented themselves beautifully in their uniforms on the day. Your support is greatly appreciated.
The Creative Edge Team brought an exciting week to a close on Saturday morning at Curtin University. The students participated in both an impromptu challenge and a prepared presentation and should be very proud of their excellent efforts in both sections. A big thank you to Miss Guazzelli for her hard work, encouragement and support in preparing the students.
Monday morning will see our school abuzz with the excitement of the Book Week Parade! The students will participate in the parade in the undercover area at 9.00am. Families and friends are warmly invited to come along and join us as we celebrate the joy of reading and books. Younger siblings are also very welcome to dress up and join in the fun!
On Tuesday, the Book Week celebrations will continue, with all classes attending a Book Week incursion — another wonderful opportunity to celebrate the joy of books and literature.
We wish Year Five student Seth all the very best as he participates in the Speak Up Final on Tuesday. Reaching the final is a wonderful achievement that Seth should be very proud of, and we look forward to another opportunity to celebrate his public speaking talents. Good luck, Seth!
On Wednesday, the Year Three and Five classes will attend an interesting excursion at Kings Park, while the Year Four class will attend the annual Dance Showcase at Lumen Christi College. We hope all classes enjoy their exciting days out.Families are reminded that the URSTRONG Language of Friendship Online Family Workshop will be held this Wednesday evening at 6.30pm. This is a great opportunity for families to spend some time together learning and sharing some important friendship strategies. Please refer to the emails that have been sent to families, which contain the Zoom link to attend the workshop.
Friday will be another busy day, beginning at 7.30am with our Father’s Day Breakfast. Dads, grandads, uncles and other significant men in the lives of our students are warmly invited to join us for breakfast in the undercover area.
During the morning, the students will also have the opportunity to visit the Father’s Day Stall and purchase a special treat for Dad to enjoy on Father’s Day. A big thank you to the hardworking team of parents for coordinating the stall and helping to make this special event possible.
We are also delighted to share that the Year Six class has been invited to perform in the Shield Play-Off for the Most Outstanding Primary Instrumental Ensemble at the Catholic Schools Performing Arts Festival. The students will visit Trinity College on Friday afternoon for this exciting performance. Congratulations to the class on this wonderful achievement and recognition of their hard work and musical talents. We wish them every success!
Our busy week will conclude with the Year Five Assembly in Ward House at 2.00pm on Friday. We look forward to another wonderful week of learning, celebration and opportunity at GSK.
