STUDENT OF THE WEEK
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Scouts Program at Roxburgh Park Primary I am pleased to announce that School Council has agreed to conduct Scouts at our school. The Scouts program will be initially held on Wednesday nights and hopefully expand to include Thursday night as well. The purpose of the program is to provide kids in our community with a wide range of attractive, constructive and challenging activities, including opprtunities for adventure and exploration, both indoors and outdoors; the provision of opportunities for leadership and responsibility; a focus on learning by doing; encouragement of activities in small groups to develop social skills; and an award scheme that encourages participation in the full range of activities and provides recognition of individual achievements. For further information please contact Andrew Cassidy on 0414 305 771 Regards, Ric Maguire Principal
STEM Program The augural opening of the STEM Program will be on:
Wednesday 15th March
3.30pm-5.30pm Roxburgh Park Primary School
Come along and learn different maths games, use your problem solving skills to design; build and construct, and take part in computer science activities. All welcome! Some of the Parents and Friends fundraising this year will go towards subsiding the purchase of equipment and payment of incursions for the STEM program.

Simeon 4C
The plump lonely, depressed teenager gazed at the turquoise coloured water.
Tears filled her eyes as her uncle poured her recently deceased
Grandmother’s ashes into the ocean. “Why did it have to be me?” she thought.

Hi Parents/Guardians!
As part of upcoming 'Harmony Week' (15th-21st March
2017), the school will be engaged in a project to transform
the very ordinary looking garden bed in Area One into a
beautiful 'Harmony Garden!'
We are asking for any garden gnomes or flower pots you may
have that you no longer need, which could be donated to the
school & added to our special garden!
If you have any, please bring them to the Art Room, it would
be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
The Specialist Team
