UKULELES were strumming, children were laughing and families were appreciating the display of student achievements at the Flinders Park Primary School open night last week.
The school welcomed families and friends to their campus last Thursday, to invite parents and carers to learn more about their child’s progress, and to view their efforts from the past three school terms.
Principal Richard Bushell was very pleased with the open night’s success.
“We had lots of parents and grandparents visit the school to view samples of the students’ work,” Mr Bushell said.
“There were great conversations between students’ families and their teachers about the students’ learning, which was a positive result of the evening.
“There was a great buzz around the school, plenty of excitement, and a lot of positive comment by parents afterwards.
“It was a great opportunity to give families a snapshot of Flinders Park.”
Highlights of the evening included art teacher Sarah McNamara’s amazing efforts with students to create the Spectacular Shoe Show, sports teacher Tracey Menegola’s hilariously renowned skipping videos from the physical education program, and music teacher Mike Staude’s coordination of the assembly hall music extravaganza.
Flinders Park Primary is an independent public school, catering for students from kindergarten to year six, and is located on Yatana Road in Bayonet Head.
