Dear Families

It’s hard to believe that it’s already term 4! We have so many exciting events happening this term for all families and students to look forward to in the upcoming weeks.

First, a thank you to all families who attended Mini Schools in week 10 of term 3. Students participated in a variety of rich learning activities and enjoyed socialising with classmates in a face-to-face setting. Students went on a Pichi Richi Train Adventure with a stop in Quorn for lunch at Emily’s Bistro. SAPOL and Port Augusta Fire Department came to SOTA to facilitate an incursion where the students learned all about community safety measures. They even had a go at using the fire hose! The week was capped off with an Amazing Race activity for all students to participate in their sports teams.
