Circus Day
We did it! During terms 1 and 2, 103 917 class dojos were awarded and we celebrated with a fantastic Circus Day. The students played with diablos, spun plates, used hoola hoops and tossed rings with their classmates.
This reward day was part of our Positive Behaviour in Schools strategy. There are several key messages that underpin these events including:
- Everyone has contributed to a ‘big’ reward.
- If someone has a bad day, they can show the behaviour expectations the next day and be recognised; everyone deserves another chance.
- Sometimes, rewards are worth the wait.

End of semester reports
Student reports will be emailed home on Wednesday 26 June 2024. Please make sure that the school has your current email address.
Years 3 - 5 Swimming Reminder
Swimming lessons for Year 3 - 5 students begin next Monday 17 June. If you have not done so already you need to complete the online consent and payment through Compass. This is due by Wednesday 12 June.
Parent-teacher interviews
Last year I sought feedback about parent-teacher interviews and, overwhelmingly, the opportunity to talk with your child’s teacher at a set time was valued. We also received feedback that suspending the school day at lunch time was difficult for families to manage.
Teacher feedback about interviews was positive as they like being able to meet with parents for a quick catch up.
On Monday 15 July we have a School Development Day and we are going to use from 11:00 am for parent-teacher interviews. A link to select a time will be sent out before the end of the term.
The purpose of the interview is to discuss your child’s overall progress. Interviews are set for 15 minutes, and you can meet more than one teacher over the course of the day.
If you regularly see your child’s teacher or have had recent meetings, you may elect to not come for an interview.
Mrs Thornton, Visual Art teacher, and Ibu Mulyana, Indonesian teacher, will also be available.
Wanneroo Regional Museum Excursion
As part of the Year 2 and 3 History studies, the students from Rooms 4,7 and 8 will be attending an excurison to the Wanneroo Regional Museum this Friday 14 June. All attending students must complete the online consent and payment through Compass which is due by Wednesday 12 June.

Ms Hunt has been a highly valved and committed education assistant at Joondalup Primary School for 20 years. For Terms 3 and 4 she will be working as a teacher at Roseworth Education Support Centre.

Interschool Cross Country
Wednesday 29May
On Wednesday 29 May selected students competed in the Interschool Cross-Country event. The weather was not ideal and at times the students, teachers and parents got very wet. Joondalup Primary School finished 4th overall with the students giving an incredible performance. The students showed great team spirit cheering and supporting their fellow students. Both Mrs Egan and I were very proud of all everyone.
A special mention goes to a few students who were podium finishers on the day. Jaxon from Year 6 who came 1st place overall. In Year 2, Gael finished 2nd and Ivy in 3rd. In Year 5 Charlotte finished in 4th place.
It was great to see the training, commitment and improvement that the students have shown in preparation for this event. The Year 6’s should be extremely proud of themselves for their final primary school cross country finishing so exceptionally.

Throughout the term, it has been fantastic to see the dedication and creativity of our students in their musical education. Recently the students have been exploring untuned percussion instruments such as djembes, bucket drums, and hand drums. They have engaged in a range of activities, from free-flowing improvised drumming circle activities to more refined whole class pieces with multiple sections. These experiences allow the students to hone their musical skills, including a sense of beat, the ability to play in time, technique, and expression, while learning to maintain their own part when performing with others.

The middle to upper-year students have been studying percussive instruments from around the world by creating a "Percussion Passport." Each week, they focus on instruments from a specific world region, Samba percussion instruments like the surdo, tamborim, agogô, and pandeiro from Brazil. Taiko from Japan, tabla from India, djembes from West Africa, doumbek from the Middle East, and conga from Cuba. Through this study, the students explore factors that influence musical styles in different cultures, and contexts, as well as the unique rhythmic styles of various percussive instruments.
Meanwhile, the choir has been rehearsing diligently for the upcoming One Big Voice Choir Festival. It is fantastic to witness the students' commitment during rehearsals as they participate in warm-up activities, practise canons, learn new songs, and work on choreography.

Welcome to the latest update from our vibrant art room.
Our Year 5 and 6 students recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in an artist workshop led by the talented Kim Mintz. This enriching experience has greatly contributed to their artistic development and exploration. During the workshop, the students delved into the world of charcoal, learning and applying various techniques and processes. They practised drawing from life, focusing on enhancing their skills in shading and value. The dedication and creativity of our students was truly inspiring, and their talent shone brightly throughout the workshop. I was thrilled to see their confidence grow. Their hard work and enthusiasm has resulted in some truly remarkable artwork.

Our talented Year 4 students had a unique learning experience as they delved into the Element of Art Value, learning new terms such as hue, base colour, tint, and shade. Each student began by drawing a cactus and dividing it into four sections. To create a captivating background, the students were introduced to the wet-on-wet technique using ink, allowing them to explore blending and layering colours. Using the hue green as their base, the students mixed their own shades and tints to bring their cacti to life. Finally, they used oil pastels to add intricate details and texture, enhancing the visual impact of their artwork. Through this project, the students not only honed their artistic skills but also developed a deeper understanding of colour theory and value, making their learning journey truly unique and valuable.

Starlight Children's Foundation Dress-up Day
On Friday 24 May, Joondalup Schools took part in the Starlight Children's Foundation. It was wonderful to see so many student and staff either in purple and gold or dressed as their favourite superhero. We managed to raise $555.10 on the day for such a great cause.

P&C Meeting Update
The P&C had a great meeting on Wednesday 29 May, where we were joined by MP Emily Hamilton. Emily reminded everyone of the School Assistance Payment ending on Friday 28 June. Emily also shared her appreciation for all the parents and families who have given up their precious time to help our schools.
This time equates to over $23k of contributions to the school over the past 12 months, for things such as Year 6 camp, music instruments, incursions, play equipment and other school resources.
We also had the chance to vote on a couple of motions, which brings us to the next exciting announcement...
This year's school disco will be FREE for all students! Full details with the registration link will be out soon.
Meanwhile, check out all the P&C events for the rest of the year below.
