Ardross Primary School

Zucchini pie anyone?? Check out the size of these zucchini’s our students harvested from our kitchen garden this morning! 👏😲

Classroom lessons looked a little different today as we celebrated Outdoor Classroom Day 2024 🌳📚📝

We are excited to announce that Ardross Primary School has officially become a sister school with Pi Thnou Primary School, as part of the Angkor Project!

Our teachers Catherine Riley, Blythe Maley, Auriol Heary and Nicola Rowden are buzzing with excitement and enthusiasm as they prepare for the 2025 Angkor Project Study tour in January.

As part of our school Lapathon last Friday, we had our first Angkor Project fundraising event - a sausage sizzle, with all proceeds going to our sister school in Cambodia.

We would like to thank the parent community for participating in this event. We raised over $1500! 👏

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to The Good Grocer Applecross. Their generous donation made this sausage sizzle possible. Patrick and his team were lovely to work with and were extremely helpful.

We also wish to thank all the parents who helped us make pop corn. We love the team spirit!

A reminder that all Lapathon money is due by Thursday 24th Oct. Students receive 1 raffle ticket for every $4 raised 😊

As we begin our final term for the year, let’s not forget the outstanding performances that were on display at our Athletics Carnival in Week 9 last term. Congratulations to the overall winning faction for 2024 - Waylen 🤩🏆🤩

As a reward for reaching 1500 PBS cards for great behaviour, students from Pre-Primary to Yr6 are welcome to wear ‘Pyjamas and Sneakers‘ to school this Friday - what a fun & comfy way to end the term 😊

Room 9 Yr1/2 students have completed their scarecrow entry for the 2024 Perth Royal Show School Scarecrow competition. The theme is ‘Agriculture in Children’s Rhymes & Stories’. Can you tell which nursery rhyme they’ve chosen?

Congratulations to our Pre-Primary students who performed their ‘Pup Pup Boogie’ dance routine yesterday. Thank you to all the parents and carers who came along to support them. We think you’ll agree…..it was Paw-fect! 🐶

Our students expanded their drawing skills earlier this term when we had manga drawing expert, Kenny Chan, conduct sessions with our Yr2-6 students. During the sessions, Kenny shared his knowledge of Japanese Anime and Manga while demonstrating some of his drawing techniques.

And that’s a wrap on Book Week 2024….we kick started with the amazing parade last Monday, Miss V ran a colouring competition for the launch of her new book ‘Cristy Creates’ (congrats to the lucky prize winners!), our Pre Primary students had a fun night time book reading event in their pyjamas and we were fortunate to have two incredible authors visit our school - Briony Stewart (2024 CBCA Award Winner!) and the very talented Sean Avery 👏

The light drizzle certainly didn’t dampen our Book Week parade yesterday. The quadrangle was full of amazing, creative costumes and plenty of smiles….what a fantastic way to kick start Book Week 2024 and celebrate the magic of reading! ✨

The rain held off yesterday for our runners who participated in the Interschool Cross Country Carnival at Brentwood PS. All of our Ardross PS runners came out of the gates strong, giving 💯 effort with a number of students achieving impressive personal bests.

As a school we finished overall in 3rd place, an improvement from 5th place last year.

Congratulations to our medal winners:-

Yr 4 Girls - Charlotte T-N (2nd place)
Yr 4 Boys - Rory O (3rd place)

And an astonishing clean sweep for Ardross PS in the Yr 6 Boys race:-

Yr 6 Boys - Bentley N (1st place)
Yr 6 Boys - Harlan J (2nd place)
Yr 6 Boys - Liam P (3rd place)

Congratulations to the entire Ardross PS team! 👏
