Welcome to 2024

We would like to extend a very warm welcome to our Kindergarten students Llewyn Arlo and Toby and to congratulate them on a fantastic start to the school year. These students  have already demonstrated the school values of connection, courage, responsibility, growth and respect and we look forward to having them as part of our class on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. It was wonderful to see all our Prep students returning to Swansea Primary School with big smiles on their faces ready for an exciting year of learning.

We have been learning about the school value of connection and exploring some of the important of relationships we have. We would like to dedicate this first newsletter introducing our class and sharing their self-portraits. Self-portraits are a fantastic way for students to explore their sense of self and build their self-identity. It’s also a great ways to learn about ourselves, each other and to foster a sense of belonging within the classroom.
