A MESSAGE FROM OUR DEPUTY PRINCIPAL FOR UPPER PRIMARY
Holloways Beach Environment Education Centre
This fortnight our Year 6 students attended a Team Building camp at Holloways Beach Environmental Education Camp. Each class spent the day working together to solve problems and learning a little bit more about each other along the way. Enjoy some of the videos of Mr Tan’s class below. It was very encouraging to hear that every child who attended the day from each of the Year 6 classes, all participated and had a go at the high ropes. The teachers at HBEEC were very impressed and commented on what a great group of students our Year 6 students are. Well done and thanks to our teachers Mrs Huxham, Mr Tan, Mrs Buttenshaw, Mrs Landsberg and Ms Edwards for organising this annual camp.

Parent Meet and Greet
I would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the parents who attended the Meet and Greet with their child’s teacher last Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Building a strong connection between home and school is essential for a child's success and our teachers value the opportunity to connect with parents early in the year. These interactions help foster a positive relationship that supports both the child’s academic and personal growth throughout the year.
Induction Ceremony
This week, we held a whole-school assembly to officially congratulate and introduce all of our school leaders to the community. This is always a special event on our calendar at Freshwater State School, and this year was no exception. It’s truly heart-warming to see the pride on the faces of both students and parents/caregivers as the leaders receive their badges. It marks a significant milestone in their young lives and is an important step in their journey of growing as leaders. I’m excited to work with them throughout the year. Congratulations to all our leaders!
Sports Spectacular
Our Year 4 students have been invited to attend the Peninsula School Sports Spectacular at Cazaly's Oval on Friday 21st February. This event has been created in response to feedback from the 2021 FNQ School Sport Survey, where principals, sports coordinators, students, and P&C presidents emphasized the importance of sport in improving student attendance and engagement. The survey also highlighted the need for more grassroots sporting opportunities for students in the FNQ region. During the event, various sporting organizations will set up activities for students, allowing them to rotate through different sports throughout the day. Each organization will provide the necessary equipment and staff to support the activities. Our Year 4 students will attend the event, with transportation provided by bus to Cazaly’s. We look forward to a day of fun and active participation for all involved!
School photo
Just a reminder that school photos will take place on 6th and 7th March. Please ensure your child is wearing correct uniform.
Have great fortnight.
