Woolworths Earn and Learn

Thanks to all parents, grandparents, students, friends and staff who collect stickers from the Woolworths Earn and Learn Program.  St Saviour's Primary community managed to collect over 43000 stickers.

This will allow us to order 6 drones and some accessories for them to be used in our school STEM program.  We will also order some resources for Literacy Activities.

Again, a very big thanks to Mrs Samantha McKenzie who co-ordinated the program and collected stickers from Woolworths locations all over Toowoomba!

STEM Showcase

On Wednesday 31 July, St Saviour's Primary will be hosting a STEM Showcase for other school from around the region.  This will provide the opportunity for students to showcase what they have learnt in STEM lessons with STEMPunks during the first semester.

On this day, the year 3 students will be showcasing robotics and 3D printing, year 4/5 students drones and coding and the year 6 students microbits.  Parents are welcome to drop in on the day between 11-12.30pm

More information will be available closer to the date.  

All students at St Saviour's Primary will be participating in a dance program this term run by a company called Dance Fever.  For this term only sport uniform is optional for all students to wear on a Wednesday due to the physical nature of the dancing.

This program will culminate in a performance for parents on Friday September 13 after school.  Times will be confirmed in the near future.

Thanks very much to the St Saviour's Primary P&F for funding the program for the students.
