Dear Families,

It’s great to have Gary Ramsey back in Room 17. A special thanks to Karen Butcher for stepping into the role in Gary’s absence.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Kerry Tate who has accepted the front office administration role for the remainder of the year. Place make her feel welcome when she starts on Monday 17th June.
Reconciliation Week
Week 5 was Reconciliation Week. Reconciliation Australia’s theme for 2024, 'Now More Than Ever', is a reminder to all of us that no matter what, the fight for justice and the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will — and must —continue.
The Aboriginal Education team and staff have done a wonderful job to provide activities throughout the week to support the understanding of Reconciliation. Later in the newsletter, you will see lots of photos from the week.
Mid-Year Reporting
This year, our reports will be coming home on Thursday 4th July.
Reception Enrolments
We are looking forward to starting out transition visits for our Mid-Year Reception enrolments. We have sent home letters to our new families with details about the visits.
Our first transition visit is on Wednesday 12th June, 9am – 10:30am. We can’t wait to meet our new students. I know that our school community will make them feel welcome.
2025 Reception Enrolments
A reminder for all families who have siblings or know of families starting school in Reception in 2025, a registration of interest form is required to be completed and returned to the front office by the end of Term 2. Please see Jeanette in the front office for more details and forms.

Room 20 and 21 Adelaide Botanic Gardens Excursion
Earlier in the term, Room 20 and 21 embarked on a thrilling adventure to the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Diving headfirst into the wonder of our "Life's Needy" science unit we set out to discover what plants and animals need to survive and thrive in their ever-changing environments.
Our journey began in the fascinating cactus garden, where we marvelled at the resilience of these spiky survivors. Next we ventured into the awe-inspiring giant waterlily pavilion. The sheer size of the waterlilies left us speechess. We learnt how these incredible plants have adapted to life on water with their enormous leaves providing stability and nourishment.
As we entered the tropical rainforest enclosure, we got lost in the dense foilage and towering trees. Here we observed the intricate relationships between plants and animals, each playing a crucial role in their shared ecosystem.
Our final stop was the rose garden where we enjoyed the vibrant colours and intoxicating scents of the beautiful blooms.
The excursion was more than just a fun day out; it was a hands-on, immersive learning experience that brought our science unit to life. We returned to school with new found knowledge and a deeper appreciation for the natural world, eager to continue the exploration of life's necessities.

Room 8 were fortunate to receive an invitation from Variety SA to see 'Kung Fu Panda 4' at the Regal Theatre.
Variety – The Children’s Charity, supports kids and families who are facing many challenges through sickness, disadvantage or living with disability. Their work allows kids to gain mobility, to get out and about in the community, to communicate, achieve independence and increase their self-esteem.
Variety generously provided tickets to the cinema, yummy snacks, drinks and transport to and from the venue!
In addition to this, they fund the transport to our weekly swimming lessons at The Parks and other great events (e.g. Annual Christmas Party, zoo excursions) throughout the year. They have supported us year after year and we are extremely grateful for their generosity.
Thank you Variety!

National Volunteer Week was held from 20-26th May. Our school is incredibly grateful for what our volunteers bring to our school. Through helping with classroom excursions, maintaining our school garden, helping Wendy in the canteen, coaching a sport team or just generally being helpful across our school, we cannot thank them enough for what they do. To show our appreciation a morning tea was held on Tuesday 21st May.

'The Miracle League' in Port Adelaide
Port Adelaide Baseball Club has recently registered to become the First Miracle League in Australia- there are currently over 350 chapters across the USA offering Baseball opportunities to individuals with special needs.
The Miracle League removes the barriers that keep children with mental and physical disabilities off the baseball field and lets them enjoy the joy of baseball, whilst playing a modified version of the game. The Miracle League is about making new friends, building self-esteem and being treated just like other athletes. To help the athletes, the Miracle League uses a 'buddy' system- pairing each player with an able-bodied peer.
Port Adelaide Baseball Club are launching our first games, which will be played from Sunday 1st September 2024, for a 4x week program during times 12.30pm and 3pm. Location is at EP Nazer Reserve, Semaphore South (home of the Port Adelaide Baseball Club). Currently games will be played on our grass baseball field, with our long term goal working with council to build a custom-designed field that can accomodate wheelchairs and assistive devices. Numbers for our first season will be capped at 36 players, to ensure we have the appropriate number of volunteers and equipment, but hope to grow this number each year.
The Miracle League of Port Adelaide is open to children ages 4 to 16. Registration is open now through to 28th July 2024. Registration is completed online, using link: https://www.trybooking.com/CSCPA
Registration is $20 per athlete per season, and includes official playing top, hat and all playing equipment provided.
Full details of the program including the registration links can be found on our website: Miracle League of Port Adelaide (portmagpies.com)
