A big thank you to Acting Captain Aaron for stepping up, taking the icy plunge, and providing plenty of laughs for such a vital cause. 🚒

🥶 It’s local community spirit exactly like this that makes our school so special.

Thank you to everyone who got involved today.

⏳ 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐 Sleeps 𝐭𝐨 𝐆𝐨! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐠 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐳𝐞! ❄️

Andersons Creek Primary School is bringing the frosty fun straight to you with our annual "Big Freeze" event this Friday, June 26th!

We are proudly fundraising for FightMND! 💪

By taking part in this year's DIY Big Freeze, we're raising vital funds to help FightMND beat the "Beast" that is Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

MND is a devastating, progressive disease. In an average timeframe of just 27 months, it gradually takes away a person’s ability to use their arms and legs, eat, swallow, speak, and ultimately, breathe.
Please help us make a difference by donating through our page:
👉 https://support.fightmnd.org.au/fundraisers/acpsbigfreeze

It only takes a minute! Every single dollar you give goes toward improving care for those living with MND, funding crucial research for better treatments, and eventually, finding a cure.

Students are invited to wear casual clothes and join in our annual Big Freeze event!

Don’t forget to bring:
• 👕 A change of clothes
• 🧴 A towel
• 👟 Appropriate footwear

The afternoon schedule will be:
• 1:00 PM – Big Freeze Assembly
• 1:20 PM – 2:30 PM – Dunk Tank and Slip-and-Slide Activities

Thank you so much—we truly appreciate your incredible support.

Together, we can defeat the Beast! 🤝💙

What a great day of girls' footy!

Both teams were fantastic today. One team, made up largely of girls playing AFL for the first time, had an absolute ball, improved with every game and showed plenty of courage in having a go. Our other team, made up of many of our weekend footballers, played some terrific footy and made it all the way through to the Grand Final, going down by just 2 points.

Across both teams, the girls showed toughness, grit, determination and great sportsmanship throughout the day. Most importantly, they had a lot of fun, supported one another and represented Andersons Creek with pride.

It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with them and watching them enjoy themselves out on the field.

Great job girls!!

🥶 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝙁𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙯𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙚𝙨: 𝘼𝘾𝙋𝙎 𝙎𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚! 🥊

Thought the icy action stopped last year at ACPS? Think again! ❄️

We’re bringing the frosty fun back to Andersons Creek Primary School with our annual DIY Big Freeze on 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙙𝙖𝙮 26 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙚 2026.

We are coming together to make a real difference in the fight against MND with an action-packed lineup:

🎯 The Adult Dunk Tank: Watch our brave teachers and adults take the plunge for a great cause!

🛝 The Student Slip-and-Slide: A high-speed, chilly thrill for those students ready to slide into action!

💙 Why Your Support Matters
Every single day, two Australians are diagnosed with motor neurone disease. MND doesn't discriminate—when it affects one person, it impacts families, friends, and our entire community.

Our goal is to raise between $2,000 and $3,000 for FightMND 💰, with every dollar going directly toward vital research and support programs.

We would love your support to help us reach this target via our fundraising page:

👉 https://support.fightmnd.org.au/fundraisers/acpsbigfreeze

🥪 𝙏𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙮 𝙏𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙇𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝 𝙊𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨
To fuel all that frosty fun, we’ve got some delicious lunch and treat options lined up to make the day even more special!

📱 Pre-order via QKR!
🧀 Toasties ($6 each): Choose from Ham & Cheese, Tomato & Cheese, or classic Cheese!
🍧 Raspberry Slushy Cups ($4): For that extra dose of delicious brain freeze!
☕ Available on the Day:
Grab a warm Hot Chocolate ($2) to help thaw out after all the icy action!

🏫 Please note: All funds raised from canteen sales will go directly toward our school fundraising efforts.

It's shaping up to be an absolutely brilliant day filled with community spirit, all while supporting an incredibly important cause.

💙 Thank you so much for helping us make a difference!

We are so incredibly proud of our very own Prep student, Stevie, who is currently appearing in the Broadway musical Waitress, playing right now at Her Majesty’s Theatre! ✨

Stevie plays the wonderful role of Lulu, Jenna’s daughter (starring alongside Natalie Bassingthwaite). 🌟

Not only is she having a blast, but Stevie is already earning amazing praise for her performance! Reviews have highlighted her shining personality, even calling her an "opening night scene-stealer!" 🗞️

ACPS teachers just couldn’t miss the opportunity to see Stevie on stage and cheer her on. They were absolutely delighted to meet up with her and receive their very own autograph of Stevie after the show! ✍️

When asked how she feels when she steps into the spotlight, Stevie said: "It feels so good… going on stage is something I really enjoy and like to do… and I like seeing the crowd’s reaction." 🎶

Stevie, everyone here at Andersons Creek Primary School is very proud of you too! We love seeing you follow your dreams and shine so bright! 💖👏💫

☀️Whether you are getting out and about or simply relaxing at home, we hope all our students and their families enjoy a very well-deserved long weekend! 🌼

📰 Newsletter Stories Update 🗞️
In this month's newsletter, we celebrate an exciting milestone for our prep students as they begin blending letter sounds to read and write words.

✍️The children practice the correct formation of the letters in daily handwriting tasks and are beginning to write simple captions and sentences. The more we discuss stories, the deeper the students' comprehension becomes. We enjoy talking about the characters and different settings in the book and create story mountains to look closely at the elements that are changing in the text.

This term, we have introduced small teacher-led reading groups. A small group of children work closely with the teacher to introduce new reading skills and practice their decoding and reading fluency. During this time, their classmates are developing the skills to work independently on book response activities followed by a range of literacy games and puzzles.🧩

Find out more about our classroom learning activities via our newsletter link below. 👇

Good morning Mum and Dad!

Just checking in to let you know we survived our first night at camp!

We braved the weather, made it to the Penguin Parade last night and somehow still had enough energy to talk well past bedtime.

Today we’ve got rock climbing, pedal carts, archery, flying foxes and giant swings.

Wish us luck… and don’t worry, we’re only missing you a little bit! 😉

Love,

The Grade 3/4 Campers 😊
