It has been wonderful watching the students stories in drama classes this term.

Humorous performances, miming being in a car. Below is the link to the original video

NAIDOC Week is next month and we have all been working on songs to perform in the

Garden Club

In term 2 the Green Thumbs lunchtime garden club is being held on Tuesdays. If your child is feeling bored or lonely in their lunch breaks tell them to head on over to the Green Thumbs garden (next to the oval and TWOOSH building). Most Tuesdays a parent volunteer will be there to help the kids water, weed and most excitingly, dig for worms! To find out more about the Green Thumbs garden club or to volunteer visit our Facebook Page - TWPS Green Thumbs - or email twpsgreenthumbs@gmail.com
