Last Friday we had the Hillary Antarctic Hut Virtual Reality Experience visit for the day. This was an awesome experience. We loved learning about Antarctica and the legacy of Sir Edmund Hillary on The Ice. We thank the Antarctic Heritage Trust for making this happen!
We encourage the use of Wheels at school. Children can use bikes on the pump track and other wheels on the concrete area. Helmets and shoes need to be worn with these, for safety. The bike and scooter racks are behind The Studio Hub.
All children are currently working on learning a poem or presenting a speech in anticipation of class competitions next week. These are for the class only, as presenting in front of people is a skill that can be difficult. We want all children to be able to work towards doing this within a safe and supportive environment. Finalists and their families will be notified by the end of the week for the SCS School Speech & Poetry competition on Thursday 22 September at 9.30 am. Here we invite families to come along and support us. We hope to see you then.
Whole School photos are scheduled for Tuesday 20 September. If you would like a family photo with preschool and or older children, please let Cara know. We will then let you know a time for these, probably at the start of the day. All children will get an individual photo, and we will also have class and group photos.
Classes are also working on artwork for our annual Art Product Fundraiser. These will be on display in classes from Friday 16 September. Order information and pricing are detailed later in the newsletter. An order form will be sent home to families closer to the order time.

Taekwon-Do
Legion Taekwon-Do is a dynamic martial art, and it is also an exciting sport suitable for all ages and abilities. Classes are for everyone from beginners to advanced levels.
Focused mind, disciplined body and pure spirit through community participation is our motto. Keeping this in mind, we encourage individual growth through a family feel atmosphere whilst practicing Taekwon-Do techniques.
Fees will be free to any Spring Creek School students and to the Spring Creek community. Classes will be Monday 3:15 - 4:15 pm in the Spring Creek Hall from this term. Families need to arrange for their children to go to the hall after school.School Docs
