Interschool Cross Country Report

The interschool cross country event was held on Wednesday 26th June 2019 at City Beach Oval. The event was organised and hosted by City Beach Primary School. The weather was kind to us despite a terrible forecast. We had some outstanding results including: Arabella T 2nd and Meg W 3rd in the Year 3 girls race, Nicolas S 4th in the Year 3 boys race, Chelsea H 1st and Milla T 4th in the Year 4 girls race, Louis N 3rd in the Year 6 boys race. The following students finished within the top 10 in their races: Alice P, Jeremy F, Xavier P, Jessica W and Jethro L.

The overall school results were as follows: 5th Kapinara Primary, joint 3rd Floreat Primary and Wembley Downs Primary, 2nd Mt Hawthorn, Wembley Primary were the overall winners. Staff in attendance were: Deb Zaltsman, Elizabeth Blackwell, Dean Hodgson and Elizabeth Burrows.

Cross Country Update 26/6/2019 – 11 am

The Interschool Cross Country carnival scheduled for tomorrow will go ahead as planned. Students and spectators are advised to bring along wet weather gear and a change of clothes.
There will also be barista coffee, teas, water, a sausage sizzle and delicious home baked sweet and savoury treats on sale for parents only.
The program commences at 12.15pm, with Year 3 running first.

Depending on the weather City Beach PS have decided that if it really wet the boys and girls will race together to shorten the time out in the rain. If the weather is fine then the Year 3 boys will be followed by the Year 3 girls and so on up to Year 6.

The schedule has now changed and the carnival will now end at 1.10, with the bus leaving City Beach Oval at 1.30pm.  So the races will be grouped together with boys and girls running at the same time.

Presentations will be held after each race.

We kindly ask that all students return to school on the bus as it makes it difficult to keep track of where students are when parents request to take their child home with them from the venue.
It is also important that we build ‘Kapinara team spirit’ for teams that represent our school and this is facilitated when we travel to and from interschool venues as a team.

We look forward to a great day – see you all there!

General News Week 5

Year 6 Day Camp – 21st May 2019 (Day Camp photos in our Gallery section)

On our Day Camp we grew our leadership skills of perspective and active listening as we learned about Aboriginal culture and how to fish and hunt. We tried some bush tucker such as damper and kangaroo.  There was so much knowledge and understanding of the land and animals that we never realised, like the Aboriginal people adapted themselves, not the environment. We also did lots of other activities like grinding grain, painting our faces with a totem animal and making fire. Lots of parents came to help us with our barbeque and then we did a night walk through the forest to look for native animals – so many spiders and possums! All our learning was done outside surrounded by beautiful native trees and bushes. At the end of the day, our most prized possessions are our memories of the great time and learning we had at the Perth Hills Discovery Centre. Charli, Emma, Charleze, Anna, Luka, Arwen

A quick shout out to all Year 4 boys teams.
