Another busy two weeks at Anakie Primary School. Today, Friday 27th October, we celebrate World Teachers' Day. It is a chance to recognise and celebrate the teachers who are making, or have made, an impact in our lives. Whether you're a current student, have children in school, or have been out of school for many years, World Teachers’ Day is a chance to say, ‘thank you’. We thank the teachers at Anakie Primary School, who go above and beyond for our students. The care and time they put into ensuring the needs of our students are met is above and beyond. Thank you!

Congratulations to Zoe Bowkett, who participated at the Regional Athletics Championship last week. Zoe competed in two events, coming first in the dicuss and progressing through to the State Championships, to be held at Lakeside Stadium on Wednesday 1st November. All of Anakie Primary School wishes you well, Zoe.
