Room 18: Swimming!

Room 18: 
Swimming for Sport, Health & Physical Education!

Room 18 hit the pool this week to further their work in Health & PE. 
The time spent swimming is also future-proofing our students as it helps prepare them for safety in the water and a life of waterborne activities.  

Sione gazes upon an aquatic marvel


The students took to the water like salmon as the heated pool provided a fun excursion with many laughs.

The boys practice their floating


The pool is a modern marvel of design and a sign of community spirit.

Community Excellence



Room 18 amazed themselves with how keen they were for the water and adeptly they moved around the pool.





Always finding new areas and ways to learn: Room 18!

Room 18: ALiM Maths Camp

Maths Camp

The ALiM (Accelerated Learning in Maths) students in Room 18 had a fantastic beginning to their school holidays as they arrived at Sylvia Park School for extra maths and double fun!

The students play Maths-Twister

Whaea Emma uses lego to introduce 'proportions' to the children


The students learnt more about the wonderful world maths with their incredible ALiM teacher, Whaea Emma, as well as Mrs Singh Ali and Mr Cowlrick in a fun and creative environment.

The students learn about maths through Monopoly

The students played monopoly, took quizzes, baked, played maths-twister and even went on a trip to Pak’N Save.

Food was 'equally shared'


It was all go, with various fun tasks showing the power and excitement of Mathematics. Maths was shown to be a part of the world outside of the classroom and an important skill.




The children thanked Whaea Emma with their learning as they engaged in the world of maths!
