From the Assistant Principal Week 11
Thank you to everyone who participated in our SCA Bush Christmas 2023 Fete. It was a wonderful evening and great success. We particularly enjoyed seeing all the students, families and wider members of community in attendance. There were many memories shared as past families and students reconnected with each other. A wonderful community event enjoyed by everyone.
A very big thanks to our Fete Organising Committee, Parents and Staff for their amazing work in creating such a special day. The weather was glorious, the stalls were fantastic, the food was delicious, and the rides were very exciting! Students are still talking about the fun that they had even in this new year. Thank you to each of you for the many hours of hard work that you generously gave to make the evening possible. We raised over $42,000. The funds have covered a small portion of the cost of our new playground equipment. The students are having great fun playing on the equipment, dancing and cartwheeling on the free space under cover.
Thank you again to our Major Sponsor Woolies at Conder and to all our amazing sponsors who contributed so very generously, your support is always greatly appreciated. Please support our sponsors where you can.
Year 5 - AFP Cyber Safety Information Session
Year 5 students were privileged to have Constable David Packwood (AKA Kenny Koala) from the AFP visit SCA on Tuesday to discuss Sharing Photos and my Personal Information Online.
He talked about:
Once you share something online it is very difficult to take it back
So it is important to stop and think first.
Are you about to share some information that you should keep private, or a photo or video that may hurt someone's feelings?
Keeping my personal information private
Personal information is as precious as the keys to your house.
Giving these keys to the wrong people, even by accident, can be like allowing a stranger into your house without you even knowing.
If someone has lots of personal information about you, they could pretend to be you, find out where you live, or even use your personal information to buy things.
The students then had the opportunity to ask questions about how to continue to keep safe online.
Please see the eSafety Commissioner Website for more information. The Kids section is extremely helpful. You will find this at https://www.esafety.gov.au/
