Dear Auburn North,

On the 21st March, Auburn North PS celebrated the cultural diversity that makes our school so special.
This year we also celebrated receiving the Minister's Award for social harmony. The award is called the Cohesive Schools Community Award.
Special guests attended a very special assembly where the
choir  sang a range of songs including 'Lean on Me' and the whole school came together  to sing 'I Am Australian'.


The day continued with parents sharing a community morning tea where food from around the world was shared and conversation flowed in many languages. The special guests had an opportunity to visit Harmony House and see a parent group in action.

SBS radio interviewed some of the parents, students and staff at Auburn North about what Harmony Day means to them. To listen to this broadcast click below:

Hi Auburn North,

If you missed the Stage 3 Science Expo then take a look at the photos that showcase the amazing talents of our students.
Years 5 and 6 very proudly showed their buddy classes their open -ended science projects  they had been working on in Term 2.
Students worked in groups to complete their projects and have done an amazing job at creating replicas of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House. As you can see from the photos, the attention to detail is fantastic.
Congratulations students and teachers on a fabulous term of learning.

Hi Auburn North,
What fun we had this year for NSS. We celebrated the day by having a Teddy Bear's Picnic and reading with our buddy classes.

National Simultaneous Storytime aims to promote the value of reading and literacy using quality Australian literature. This year's picture book is 'The Very Cranky Bear', by Nick Bland. It has a wonderful message about friendship, kindness and being fair. A bit like ANPS school values!

Hi Auburn North,
Many thanks to Mrs Saleh and the literacy team for hosting the Book Giving Ceremony for Term 2.
Laura, the National Schools' Coordinator from Books in Homes,  a special guest author, Lynda Calder, and a representative from UWS attended the action packed assembly. Students read poetry, received their book bags, received awards for completing the comprehension competition on the front of the brochure and 2M and the NAP students sang a FANTASTIC song inspired from the students of Ocoee Middle School in the US. 
You did such a great job that Laura asked if Auburn North  would like to feature on the next BIH catalogue which will be out in Term 4!  Exciting stuff. Well done everyone.
Mrs Clift
