Gowrie Street Primary School Newsletter 18 December 2024

As we wrap up another incredible year at Gowrie Street Primary School, it’s a wonderful time to reflect on the many highlights and achievements of 2024. This has been a year full of growth, learning, and celebration, and we are so proud of everything our students, staff, and families have accomplished together.

Celebrating Our Highlights

  • The Marrung Award: We were honored to receive this prestigious recognition, celebrating our commitment to inclusive and culturally responsive education for all our students.

  • Healthy Eating Program: Our groundbreaking program gained significant media attention this year! We have provided every student with nutritious morning and afternoon tea, as well as lunch, every single school day. This initiative has not only nourished our students but has also become a hallmark of our community.

  • Upgraded Facilities: Our stunning hall, new dining room, and kitchen upgrades have transformed our school environment. These spaces are now even more welcoming and functional, supporting our daily activities and fostering a sense of community.

  • Kelpie Training Camp: Our School Student Leaders shone brightly during the Kelpie Training Camp, demonstrating leadership, teamwork, and resilience.

  • Year 5 and 6 ACRE Social Enterprise Projects: The innovative projects undertaken by our senior students were a standout this year. Through these projects, students developed entrepreneurial skills and created initiatives that make a difference in our community.

  • Excursions: Our students enjoyed numerous excursions that exposed them to amazing opportunities and environments. Time and again, community members praised our students for their excellent behavior and for being outstanding representatives of our school.

  • Scoot to School: This year, we launched our Scoot to School initiative where students were picked up each morning by a staff member and scooted safely to school. This program has been a fantastic way to promote active travel and build strong connections within our school community.

  • Sporting Achievements: From athletics to team sports, our students displayed exceptional sportsmanship and determination. We are so proud of their effort and enthusiasm in every competition.

  • Student Leadership: Our School Student Leaders have been exemplary in representing Gowrie Street at various events. Their pride in our school and their contributions to the community have been truly inspiring.
