The Seacliff Sevens ‘Do It For Cancer’!
On Wednesday 30 June, 16 year seven students, (and some late additions!) and seven staff members from Seacliff Primary School are making a hairy sacrifice… and they are choosing to ‘Do It For Cancer’.
The group of boys and girls are planning to either shave their heads or chop off their ponytails, in the hope of raising $10,000 in honour of everyone they know affected by cancer, and to support a staff member whose grandson lost his life to cancer earlier this year.

‘More Than a Word’ – Reconciliation Takes Action, 2021
You would be aware that this is National Reconciliation Week. Our school has a number of related events planned, or that have already taken place. Recently, Kaurna gentleman Corey Turner visited Seacliff Primary to give advice about development of our school’s proposed Kaurna Walk and Sustainable Community Garden.
Old Scholars School Tour
On Friday 21 May, we had a group of 20 old scholars come back the school to take a trip down memory lane. When they arrived, they were met by some of our middle primary and junior primary students and taken to reception to do a COVID check in. They then went to the library to enjoy some morning tea and looked at some old school photos and class records from our archives.
Rooms 2 & 5: Living and non-living investigations
Last term, Room 2 and Room 5 have been investigating Living and Non-Living things as a Science focus area of study.
The students have concentrated on sorting and classifying Living and Non-Living objects, and then identifying and comparing differences. They have also identified similarities and differences of living things, with particular attention to various insects and how they change over the course of their lifetime.
R-2 Japanese: Rooms 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 16
In Term 1, students began learning sea creatures in Japanese. They had lots of fun learning actions for each creature and we hope they shared some of these with you at home. Reception students explored the sentence structure “I like (animal).”
WARNING: Skipping is contagious at Seacliff Primary School!
Wow! What a great start to our Jump Rope for Heart program. All classes have been developing their skipping skills in PE lessons and our skipping ropes are ALL being used in the yard at recess and lunch. I have been so impressed with the student’s fast development and it is lovely to see how eager they are to participate in this program.
