🛠️ School Working Bee – This Sunday! 🛠️

We’re holding a School Working Bee this Sunday and would love some extra helping hands! Whether you can spare an hour or stay for the morning, every bit of help makes a difference.

It’s a great opportunity to help keep our school looking its best for our students and staff. Many hands make light work, so if you’re available, we’d love to see you there!

What a fantastic way to finish off last week! 🏐

Our Teachers vs Students Netball Game was full of laughs, teamwork and great sportsmanship. In the end, it didn’t matter who won or lost – what mattered was that everyone had fun, got involved, and enjoyed the game together.

Thank you to all the teachers and students who took part and made it such a memorable event! 😊

The International Day of Play is observed annually on June 11 to recognise play as a fundamental human right for children, crucial for their development, well-being and resilience.
This day highlights the need to protect play spaces and ensure every child has time for creative, social and physical play.

More and more families are visiting our wonderful school!
If you missed our open day and would like a tour, we welcome you to make a booking via email at [email protected] or call our office on 9435 2917.

We look forward to introducting you to our brilliant school community 📖🌿🙌

We hope you've had a great King's Birthday long weekend.
See you all back at school tomorrow!

World Environment Day, celebrated annually on June 5th since 1974, is the United Nations' platform for encouraging global awareness & action for the protection of the environment, addressing urgent issues like climate change, biodiversity loss & pollution 🌍

Have fun this King's Birthday Weekend!
See you back at school on Tuesday.

You may have noticed some changes around the school grounds this year! Thanks to our schools North Eastlink Project grant, we are excited to share our new playground with the local community! 🛝✨

This fantastic new space is already bringing so much excitement, with students enjoying new equipment, staying active, and spending quality time together.

A big THANK YOU to the NELP grant for making this project possible! Your support has helped create a fun, engaging and safe environment for our students to play and grow.

📚✨ On Wednesday we joined in with Simultaneous Storytime! ✨📚

There’s something so special about children across Australia all sharing the same story at the same time. Storytime helps spark imagination, build language skills, encourage creativity, and most importantly, create a lifelong love of reading. 💛

Reading with children every day helps them develop confidence, communication skills, concentration, and emotional understanding. Even just a few minutes a day can make a huge difference in a child’s learning journey.

This week was filled with smiles, laughter, and a love of books — a wonderful reminder of how powerful stories can be. 📖🌟

At WPS we see National Reconciliation Week as a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements.
