ANZAC Day Morn Service

In recognition of those who have given their lives in service during times of war, Prescott Primary Northern students have been working alongside their buddy classes to answer the following question:

‘In what way can we show appreciation to those who have given service for this country?’

Those who had served – and many continue to do so – are not only the armed forces, but also medical and supply personnel, spiritual leaders and charity volunteers.

Students created wreaths using strips of paper to record their responses, which were weaved into a frame. Some responses were in the form of letters to those who had served, others were prayers, whilst others were drawings or short comic strips. It was particularly noticeable how appreciative students were of others’ service, as indicated in their chosen format of appreciation.

What was also significant was the link that many students made between such service and that of Jesus, who died that all may have eternal life (John 3:16).

These wreaths will be laid in a commemorative ceremony at tomorrow's Chapel service, to which you are warmly invited, and afterwards will be displayed in the Discovery Centre.

Woolworths Earn & Learn

We are involved with the Woolworths Earn & Learn again this year.  Collect your stickers to support your school.

Students will get a sheet to put their stickers on. Once the sheet is complete they can hand it over to their teacher and get a new sheet. We have two stands as well to collect the stickers; one in the office and the other in the library. Also we have couple of posters to put the stickers on. One is in front of SSO Room and the other one in the passage between Year 2's and Foundation's.

Parliament and Civics Education Rebate Program

The Year 7 class of 2019 have recently undertaken an education tour of the national capital. The students were given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage and democracy.

The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding of $60 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.
