BE SAFE, BE RESPECTFUL, BE A LEARNER

It has been a very busy week here at The Risk Public School. With wet weather settling in, the children have tried to make the most of the sunshine when it peaks out behind the clouds, and are being creative inside the classroom when it has been too wet to be outside.

The school has had a much needed facelift recently with our painting of rooms and toilet blocks. Wayne has been busy hanging the students artwork on the walls and the school is feeling very welcoming.

The Student Parliament have some new raised garden beds, and the current beds are looking very lush with peas, lettuce, tomatoes, basil and much more. We look forward to seeing what they will create in cooking classes for all of us to try.

Enjoy your week, Lisa

Lucas and Lincoln cooked up a storm for student Parliament lunches on Friday.

The chefs cooked pasta carbonara and it was enjoyed by our hungry students.

OUR REFRESHED LIBRARY

Our library has received a new injection of life thanks to

Ms Sawford, Wayne and our painters. Our library has a new

fresh coat of paint, a clean and organisation, and new space has

been created. It feels like a creative and inspiring space to learn

in. Students have enjoyed the extra room to enjoy their

favourite books. Students have reached the half way mark

through the Premier’s Reading Challenge. Please do not forget to

let Ms Sawford know of any books students have read that could

be added to their reading list.
