This week in Cronulla, Layla was proudly named Captain of the South Coast Team at the inaugural NSWPSSA U12 Girls Rugby League Championships.

It was an incredible experience to witness such outstanding talent displayed by all the girls. The South Coast team finished a commendable 6th place in the state.

We are ALL IN at UPS for Reconciliation Week! Ms Prior, our teacher librarian, has an array of books on display and is forever supporting our students and teachers with highlighting important moments through engagement with quality literature.

On Friday, students thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Reconciliation Walk to Figtree High School, where they joined together to acknowledge and celebrate the importance of reconciliation and community. The afternoon was filled with connection and fun, as students were welcomed by Figtree High School students with games and a delicious afternoon tea. It was wonderful to see students engaging so positively, building relationships, and embracing the spirit of the occasion.

UPS Dance Troupe excited for their final performance after a fantastic show week! Congratulations to all our dancers and their families, and a huge thank you to our teachers.

Environment Committee Update 🌳🌎

In preparation for World Environment Day, our team have been brainstorming how we can raise awareness for caring for the environment.

This year’s theme for World Environment Day is “Climate Action”

The planet doesn’t argue. It doesn’t negotiate. It sends signals – rising seas, raging wildfires, heatwaves, melting glaciers. The signals we, as humans, decide to send back will impact our world and our future. Forest replantation. Solar panels. Keeping our school free of litter. It all makes a difference.

We’ve been taking our brainstorm and turning our ideas and messages of hope into creative posters. Using Canva for Education, our tech-savvy skills are growing! Once complete, these messages calling for action will be displayed around our school.

Stay tuned for the next update!

🌟 Congratulations to Freija! 🌟

Well done, Freija! Your hard work, dedication, and team spirit are inspiring to us all. Keep shining on and off the field! 🏑💪👏
