Following the excitement, joy, a few tears and a sense of adventure that featured on the first day for Foundation students at St Clare’s Catholic Primary School in Officer it is now time to celebrate 100 Days of School for their Foundation students. This will be celebrated this Friday, 29 July, with everyone encouraged to dress as a 100 Year Old. St Clare’s look forward to seeing some amazing centenarians.
This year the students have also had the excitement of their new architecturally designed playground. The new area includes a ropes course, soccer and football field, shade and cover seating areas, passive play spaces and plenty of new grass where students can run.
This area provides a great facility for Physical Education lessons and opportunities for shared learning experiences in a beautiful outdoor environment. Further developments include an Indigenous Garden and outdoor classroom. This is due for completion in the next few months.
St Clare’s students are particularly enjoying exploring the ‘Ninja’ playground and surrounding play areas.
At St Clare’s they nurture the holistic development of each child. For the St Clare’s family, numeracy and literacy skills are core elements of education; but so is Religious Education – developing empathy, social justice and a strong moral compass. They encourage active play and healthy bodies; understanding other cultures through learning languages; and the confidence that comes with developing creativity through the performing and visual arts.
Student achievement is measured not only by academic growth but by each child’s emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing. Being part of faith-filled community instils their students with a sense of identity, a feeling of belonging and above all, a powerful sense of self-worth.
At St Clare’s they aim is to have each child reach their potential; to be a well-rounded individual – within a supportive and caring learning environment.
