DEPARTURE TO HIGH SCHOOL
Years have passed and memories have paved their way through our lives, constantly processing moments of joy, sorrow, grief and excitement. An endless marathon of obstacles and checkpoints, we continue chasing a goal one after the other; now is the nearing of another. During our years in primary school the collection of fragments that time itself has nurtured will not be forgotten nor neglected but cherished to surge together to witness the future of tomorrow. Hope is the beginning of a new chapter; high school. Unease may shroud the light, however, this chapter is yours - so make it! New experiences, friends, opportunities are all waiting so patiently, many empty pages in a book are to be written; your story, your life.

PRINCIPAL'S CHALLENGE

On Monday 8^th of December, 9am, Room 22 received the shocking news: Principal’s Challenge is on that week! The Forgetful (and young) Mr Petch has not given us the study guide last week, so this really will put us to the test! This is our final Principal’s Challenge of Wattle Grove so we must strive to make the best of it. Even though we have a very short amount of time, we are the PAC class and we should be able to do it! We have 100 words to study and important facts of Australia to learn including some of the history of the golden Kalgoorlie. Come on Room 22, we’ll go for that 110%

DRLC PORTFOLIOS

Wattle Grove Primary offers a wide range of different academic extension and enrichment programs, one of them being the Darling Range Learning Community Citizenship Portfolio. During this program, students from the Kalamunda Shire (Including Wattle Grove, Woodlupine, Forrestfield, High Wycombe, Edney etc.), are encouraged to complete a portfolio regarding the contributions they’ve had to the school, at home and in the wider community. There are three sections in each portfolio; excellence, leadership and participation.

There are four placements in the citizenship portfolio: The certificate of commendation, excellence, distinction and the winner. Many students from our classroom were lucky enough to receive one of these placements. They’re listed below:

Lucy– The Citizenship award

Khaled– The Certificate if Distinction

Blake & Bella – The Certificate of Excellence

Amos, Henry, Mikayla, Elycia, Bianca & Alyssha – Certificate of Commendation

Congratulations to everyone who participated in this program. And thank you; teachers, staff and parents for advising students in creating their portfolios. Your support is well appreciated.
