Harmony Day – Building the Value of Kindness


Harmony Week celebrates the cohesive and inclusive nature of Australia and promotes a tolerant and culturally diverse society. On March 25th, students wore orange, cultural clothing, or casual clothing to signal we all belong and are different in our own way.
​
Students on the SRC executive organised recess and lunchtime activities over the week. These included handball competitions and netball games for the JP’s and on Friday they hosted outdoor music on the courts.

Paying for Excursions/Incursions on QKR!

​Please make sure to double check you only pay for excursions and incursions that your child’s class is attending. You can check this when consent notes come home with your child. If your unsure, please give the front office a ring before paying, because giving credit notes creates unnecessary extra work.

​Some of our students were lucky enough to place 1st in their event and will receive an invitation to participate as part of the TTG District Athletics Team to compete against all other Metro Districts in South Australia later in the year.
 
We are so proud of all the athletes who attended – your representation of Ardtornish was excellent, as always! Thank you to the parent volunteers who provided transport, support in our events and helping with scoring on the day. We couldn’t have done it without you.
