A MESSAGE FROM OUR DEPUTY PRINCIPAL FOR LOWER PRIMARY
Book Week
This year the theme for Book Week is ‘Book an Adventure’. Have you seen the amazing display in the library to celebrate this fun and exciting theme?
We’ve had a fabulous time in the library this week with ‘Lunch time stories’ with many different staff members volunteering to read a story to our students.



On Friday we saw a sea of colour as students came to school dressed as their favourite book character for our annual Book Week parade. Thank you to all the families who were able to join us at our special parade to see our spectacular production ‘Hairy Maclary from the Freshie Family’.





Prep 2026 Enrolments
We have commenced our Prep enrolments for 2026 and already we have met so many excited little people and families who will join Freshwater in the new year. Children have enjoyed playing in our pop-up classroom in the library while families have had the opportunity to speak with a member of the leadership team. Thank you to our wonderful prep teacher aides for supporting children during these enrolment interviews. We look forward to seeing our families back in Week 8 for our Prep Stay and Play event which is another opportunity for children to orientate and transition into Freshie with a fun indoor/outdoor program organized.
RAK Club
This past fortnight in our Random of Acts of Kindness Club, we have been busy continuing to add leaves to our ‘Kindness Tree’ in the library. Students enjoyed cutting out the leaves and writing how they can show kindness at school, in the community and in the home. In the RAK club this week, we also listened to a story about ‘How to be a Bucket Filler’. Students will continue with a fun activity around bucket filling next week in the RAK club.





Thank you to Eve in Year 4 for your random act of kindness, your flowers were a lovely surprise to receive and absolutely made my day.
The Random acts of kindness are continuing to spread with children opening doors for visitors in the office, giving a compliment or just picking up rubbish in the under-cover area to keep the school clean and tidy. Let’s continue to spread these small acts of kindness across the school so it becomes contagious.
Have a great weekend.
