PRINCIPAL'S REPORT

With Mr Coombes on leave for the week, the student leaders have taken over to complete the report for this week. 

STUDENT LEADERS' REPORT

We are proud to say that Artarmon Public School has persevered through a series of dramatic weather. We survived the hot sun, the clammy, damp downpour and blasts of wind. The persistence of the students and teachers really shows our school spirit and dedication to our work.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MR COOMBES!!!

Mr Coombes is taking the week off for his birthday and is having a well-deserved break. The responsibility of writing this report was given to the school leaders. 

OZ TAG GALA DAY

On Monday, students ventured to Blackman Park for an OzTag Gala Day. They represented our school well, wearing their uniform proudly and played their best. They spent the day playing sports and having fun. A big thank you to Mr King for supervising and supporting the teams. Here is an insight of what the day looked like by Eddie Ohlsson.

“On the day, both the boy’s and girl’s teams played nine games. The girls were undefeated until the finals where they drew with Lane Cove. In the boys final they were down to 5-6 at full time versus Middle Harbour and their biggest victory was 12-4.In summary the day was fantastic and we got to interact with other schools and make some new friends.”

YEAR 6’s JOURNEY TO THE JEWISH MUSEUM

Year 6 went to the Jewish Museum located in Darlinghurst. Year 6 learnt about the hardships of Jewish migrants in their effort to reach Australia. They also saw a holocaust survivor named Judy Davis. She kindly recounted her life biography and answered different questions from different students. This excursion expanded our knowledge of their history lessons in the curriculum. By Lia Avni from 6NR.

OC’s JOURNEY TO THE SYDNEY WRITERS' FESTIVAL

The writers' festival was packed with comedy, facts and inspiration from well-known authors. We were keen to listen to writers such as Corey Tutt, Nat Amoore, Remy Lai and Matt Stanton. Ranging from hilarious tales to inspirational quotes and facts, this festival was a utopia for everyone, especially the students. Students from all types of schools were provided with an abundance of information about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People’s lifestyles and languages. We were given different performances to enjoy and learn from - whether it was an informative report or a hilarious comedy. There were live performances for drawings and a collaboration of 24 movies to enjoy. It was truly a spectacular experience which everyone can enjoy! It was a magnificent excursion where we learnt many interesting facts and tips on writing stories. By Isabelle Lam, Janelle Li and Peter Wang from 6JW.

YEAR 5’S EXCURSION TO THE STATE LIBRARY

The State Library contained shelves full of amazing books and at the same time it was like a museum. There was a gallery section with paintings of famous historical people and events. There was also a section with pictures, forms and illustrations drawn by the people in the past. We then entered a room where we dressed up in fancy clothes and made our own films. My favourite part was when we made our own mini movies. I really enjoyed the State Library because it made me step back into time. By Ellie Jeon from 5JD.

YEAR 4’s EXCURSION TO THE ROCKS

On our excursion we went to the rocks near botany bay and we were dressed as convicts, governors and doctors. We took a tour around the building and the guides told us what materials they used. Did you know that sandstone can keep food cool? Our favourite part was when we dressed up and learnt about the person we were.  By Anvesh Kalkudi and Toby Wang from 4ZV.

YEAR 3 BOWLING

Every Friday, most of Year 3 go to Strike Bowling. First we get our shoes and balls and we get 2 turns to bowl. I like bowling because we try to improve our accuracy and we are faced with a challenge. We have friendly challenges to see who can get the best score. By Jarvis Chu in 3BT.
