This deserves a spot on the grid 😂 our Year 5 teaching team struck gold with these outfits ⭐

⛏️ Year 5 Camp – Day 1 Done! 🤠

Our Year 5 students have stepped back in time and fully embraced life on the goldfields! From exploring the sights, sounds and stories of the 1850s to taking part in hands-on activities, it has been a fantastic first day of learning and adventure.

📸 1: Candlestick making
📸 2: Panning for gold
📸 3: Traps and Troopers vs the Miners
📸 4: Walking to dinner
📸 5 & 6: Underground mine tour
📸 7: Making Eureka Flag
📸 8: Gold pour demonstration

Today, students have been digging into history, discovering what life was like during the gold rush and creating memories that are worth more than gold! ⭐

We can’t wait to see what treasures Day 2 has in store.

The RNPS Junior School Council is proud to share that our school is taking part in the Big Freeze DIY to fundraise for FightMND.

In honour of Neale Daniher, the man who showed us “it’s not what you say, it’s what you do”, we proudly hold our first RNPS Big Freeze on the Green.

MND is a progressive and cruel disease slowly takes away a person’s most basic abilities, all within an average of just 27 months. It does not just affect the person diagnosed, it reshapes the lives of every family and loved one around them.

This year, we are putting FIVE of our brave (and slightly nervous) RNPS staff members on the line for the icy challenge! Cast your vote by making a donation through our page, and don’t forget to pop your chosen staff member’s name in the ‘Leave a message’ box when you donate.

Voting is simple: $2 gets you 1 vote, and $5 gets you 3 votes. The staff with the most votes face the freeze! Every dollar donated goes directly to improving care for people living with MND, funding research into more effective treatments, and one day, finding a cure. It only takes a minute, so get voting for the following brave nominees:

Bu Rumble
Mrs Love
Mr Trend
Mrs Hart
Mrs Nerantzoulis
Mrs Page
Mrs Trend
Mr Somerville
Mr O’Brien
Ms Said
Mrs Aiello
Mr Tibballs
Ms Costello
Mrs O’Kane
Mr Pryde
Elle
Will
Donna

We do this for everyone in our community who has lived, is living, or will one day be touched by motor neurone disease.

Together, as students, staff and families of Ringwood North Primary School, we can make a difference.

Together, we play on for Neale 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered their time, energy and support to make it all happen. We’re grateful for such a friendly, dedicated and supportive community. 😃

A special shoutout to Jodie for organising the Mother’s Day gifts through Eastland, allowing 100% of profits to go directly to the school. 🙌🏼 Thank you to our whole amazing PFA team for envisioning, coordinating and setting up the stall.
