Beach to Bush!

Spring Hill was lucky enough to welcome Bill and Karen from the NSW Surf life Saving Beach to Bush Program.

Students had a fantastic time learning all about beach and water safety - from how to spot rips and bluebottles to why it's so important to always swim between the red and yellow flags.

Grandparents Day, Art Show and Book Week

This year, our school combined Grandparents Day, our Art Show, and Book Week celebrations into one wonderful morning!

We began with a Book Week parade and assembly, followed by a range of fun rotations that included board games, boccia, crown making, frame and bauble decorating, and of course, the ever-popular Bingo with Mrs Mac!

Parents and grandparents were also able to view our spectacular Art Show, curated by the talented Deina. Our amazing students’ artworks were proudly on display for everyone to enjoy.

Our grandparents and families were then treated to a delicious lunch to finish off the morning.

A huge thank you to Miss Em for organising such a fantastic day for everyone to enjoy!

Spring Hill Public School was filled with laughter, determination and excitement as infant students from Clergate Public, Cudal Public, Molong Central, Cargo Public and Mullion Creek Public joined in a fun-filled day of Yulunga Games and Fundamental Movement Skills activities lead by the Spring Hill senior students.

Students had the chance to make new friends and develop their skills as they rotated through 15 different stations. The sun was shining, the barbeque sausages were delicious, and the ice blocks and oranges at the end of the day were a perfect way to cool down!

A huge thank you to all the visiting schools, teachers and helpers who made the day such a memorable and enjoyable event!

Students planned their bridges, thought about shapes and strength, and then put their designs to the test to see how much weight they could hold.

Lots of creativity, problem solving and teamwork on display. Well done engineers!

Using all sorts of creative designs, the students built protective "homes" to keep Humpty safe. Finally, we put their inventions to the test by dropping our Humpty eggs from different heights.

There were gasps, cheers, and plenty of crack ups, but most importantly, lots of learning and laughter!
