School Highlights
Last Day of Term 3
Year 2 Excursion – Tea Tree Gully Heritage Museum
Gratefulness is how we all felt last Monday and Friday, after finally visiting the Tea Tree Gully Heritage Museum.
This building is an important landmark in the historic township of Tea Tree Gully. First opening as the Highgrove Hotel in 1854 and later serving as a community meeting room, post office, and a school room, along with residence for postal officers, teachers, and a private family.
Due to its many facets and historical value, it has been known to the community as the Tea Tree Gully Heritage Museum, since 2015.
We wish to thank Mrs Gill Starks, the museum’s Chairperson, and her staff, for taking our Year 2 Students back in time with hands-on experiences such as long-ago living, games, washing and scrubbing, and so on.
We’re infinitely grateful to God for gifting us with great weather after having had such inclement weather leading up to the excursion.
On behalf of the Year 2 Teachers, thank you also for the invaluable help and assistance provided by our dedicated and generous Parents/Guardians Volunteers: Braden Blyde, Kevin Pridmore, Luke Smith, Evita Wang, Casey Wood, and Mrs Sammy (Student Teacher).
Spring Playdate with Prescott
On Friday, 23rd of September, PPN hosted a community event: Spring Playdate with Prescott. We had around 50 young children under the age of 5, and their parents or grandparents, join us for a fun-filled morning in our Nature Playground.
Children were able to make flower crowns, sun-catchers, create some beautiful paintings using natural materials as paintbrushes, and enjoy some creative fun with flowers and playdough in our Mud Kitchen. There was time for stories on our picnic rugs while enjoying fresh fruit, and hot drinks for the adults.
Thank you to Northpark Market for their kind and generous donation of the flowers used for this event. Those that attended on Friday didn’t want the morning to end, and are already looking forward to our summer-themed Playdate next term!
If you know a family with a child under-5 who would enjoy a Playdate with Prescott, please keep an eye out for more details to pass on.
