Earlier this year in Term One Mrs Cogger placed on the Purposeful Practice Grid a link to The ATOM photography competition with the theme of ‘turbulence’ for 2021. Several students entered and their photos are on display in Science.
Last week we were informed that Alicia and Emilia have been recognised as ‘finalists’ for their entries. We are very excited for the girls and congratulate them on their creativity on such a difficult theme.
You can view their entries using this link.

Tuesday’s events included the 100m sprint, 200m sprint, Relays and Team Games.
St.Emilie’s finished the carnival in 3rd position overall, which is something the students should be extremely proud of.
Our students produced consistently good results across all events and did particularly well with our Team Games.
We also had Three students receive individual Champion Medals for their performances.

Well done Year Fives and Mr Naden – a great experience and we are all very proud of your efforts!
On Tuesday 19th October, St.Emilie’s had Three teams compete in the Lakeside Slam Series.
We were represented by Two Boys teams and a single Girls team.
In another hugely successful day for our teams, Our Boys A team and our Girls team both made the Grand Final.
The boys A team went through the day undefeated, eventually defeating Deanmore Primary School in the Grand Final.
The Girls team showed remarkable improvement with each game throughout the day.
Unfortunately they lost their Grand Final to West Leeming PS in a hard fought game.
Our Boys B team also showed great improvement and effort throughout the day.
Unfortunately they did not register a win, but displayed a terrific attitude all day long.
The Reward for our Boys Team is a position in the State Finals, which will be held at Bendat Stadium on Wednesday 24th November.
Further details to follow.
A huge thank You must also go to Mr Munro, Mrs Armistead and Ryder’s dad who helped coach the teams on the day.
We also had terrific support from our parents, which no doubt contributed to our success!
