Dear Families, it has been another wonderful week of learning, celebration and connection across the school. Our Tirtu Assembly was a great success, providing an opportunity to celebrate the fantastic learning taking place across our Learning Hub. It was also a special occasion to recognise the individual achievements of students who received our Community Spirit Award. Congratulations to all of our award recipients for demonstrating our school values.

Our newest students and their families came together for our Foundation Fiesta, creating a wonderful opportunity to strengthen relationships, build connections, and foster a strong sense of belonging as our Foundation students continue to settle into school life.

This weekend, our Pedal Prix Team will be back on the track at The Bend. We wish all of our riders the very best for a safe and successful race. Go team!

Enjoy the weekend.

Warm Regards, Rebecca

Congratulations to our incredible Girls Pedal Prix Team, who raced to first place in the Girls Division at the Pedal Prix event at Victoria Park during term 2!

Their determination, teamwork, and resilience on the track were outstanding, and we couldn't be prouder of their fantastic achievement.

We wish the team the very best as they head to The Bend this Saturday for the next race. Good luck, we'll be cheering you on every pedal of the way!

We are thrilled to celebrate an outstanding achievement by three of our talented students, who have been selected as soloists for this year's Festival of Music performances.

Congratulations to Emmie and Paige, who will perform as soloists at the Festival of Music at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

Congratulations also to Emmie and Tahmid, who have been selected to perform as soloists at the Southern Metro Festival of Music.

Being chosen as a soloist is a remarkable honour and reflects the students' dedication, confidence, and passion for music. Their selection is a testament to the many hours of practice, commitment, and enthusiasm they bring to every rehearsal.

We are incredibly proud of their achievements and know they will represent our school with excellence as they perform alongside hundreds of young musicians from across South Australia.

Congratulations to our three talented soloists! We wish you every success and can't wait to see you shine on stage.

This week our Spence 4 Year 6 students were lucky enough to work with 12 students from Brighton Secondary School, ranging from Years 8–12. The high school students listened to our adventure narrative drafts and provided thoughtful feedback about story structure, character development, tension, descriptive language and endings. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to share their writing with a real audience, ask questions, and receive advice from older students who have been through similar writing experiences. We are very grateful to the Brighton Secondary students for their encouragement, time and support.

We warmly welcomed our newest Foundation students and their families at our Foundation Fiesta on Wednesday evening! The event was full of smiles and high energy as everyone enjoyed lively music, engaging games, and delicious tacos. This special get together helped build strong personal connections and a sense of community, setting a positive tone as students begin their school journey together.
