This week, Neil Pasricha visited our school to talk about his latest venture, a book written for children.
Here is the video he shared with us:

Remembrance Day Assembly
Florence Meares Public School presented a reflective and respectful assembly. The choir sang 'Peace, I give to you', which is a lovely song. What was very thought provoking to the students was the connections made to our teachers and student families. We heard about Mrs Binn's father and Ms McWhirter's grandfather. Mrs. O'Rourke sang a song she wrote herself. What a beautiful tribute to Nathan Cirillo! Mrs. O'Rourke made us proud with her talent, piano playing and demonstrated for the students such empathy and kindness. Mr. Russell's brother spoke via Skype from where he is deployed in Afghanistan. In class, we read Sadako and the thousand paper cranes and each student received an origami crane as a momento. Remembrance day is such a tough concept to teach young students. I think our school did a great job helping students make meaningful connections.
