PRINCIPAL’S REPORT

Our wonderful SASS

Last week was School Administrative and Support Staff (SASS) Recognition Week and it is an opportunity for the school community to acknowledge the vital role that SAS Staff play in education. School Administrative and Support Staff whether they work in the office, the library, canteen, on the school grounds or in a classroom setting, are important contributors to the success of the school and our students’ education. Please take the time to thank our wonderful Burraneer Bay SAS Staff this week led by our School Administration Manager Ms.Best.

Creative Talents

I am delighted to announce Burraneer Bay Public School as the winner of the class prize for the Threatened Species Children’s Art Competition as a result of the wonderful piece of artwork that 2/3S created. What talented students!

A Supportive Community

WHAT’S HOT IN THE

S.T.E.A.M. Room! Science . Technology . Engineering . Arts . Maths

We have had a busy and productive Term 3 in the S.T.E.A.M. room. Students have learnt a variety of new skills and have been immersed in range of wonderful new experiences!

ROBOTICS Alongside our 32 tablet devices, Promethean ActivPanel and green screen, our S.T.E.A.M. room now also has access to a range of robotics equipment!

Kindergarten & Year 1 Students have thoroughly enjoyed using the Blue-Bot robotic kits.

Year 4 have used the Lego WeDo 2 kits and have had fun building and programming the robot, ‘Milo’ and other types of robots using our HP tablets

5 & 6 Coding Club have loved using our new Sphero SPRK+ range. Spheros are controlled with an iPad app and can be programmed using coding blocks. Next term, more classes will have the opportunity to use our wonderful new equipment not only in the S.T.E.A.M. Room but in their very own classrooms as well! Thank you again to our P & C for funding these fabulous new resources.

CODING CLUB – Year 4 Commencing Term 4 (Tuesday 1st Half Lunch) Students in Year 4 who are interesting in Coding and would like to join our lunchtime Coding Club, are invited to write their name down on the list located in the S.T.E.A.M. room. Students in Year 4 Coding Club will use the online block coding software, ‘Scratch’. Years 5 & 6 Coding will continue as usual during lunchtime on Wednesdays.

THANK YOU A HUGE Thank you to Mr & Mrs Stokes (Hayden 6A, Korbin 4F & Rhylan 2B) for your generous donation of ten computer monitors! Our school will certainly put them to good use!
