RIDE2SCHOOL DAY
Friday 22 March
Students are encouraged to ride or walk to school on Friday 22 March.
Active transport is a great way to stay fit, reduces congestion on our road, not to mention being beneficial for the environment.
Don’t have a bike? Too far to walk? Consider jumping on a bus or train!
Alternatively, you may choose to drop students a little bit further from school to give them the opportunity to walk or ride.
Students who ride will be in the running for prizes as well as free snacks courtesy of Friends of Frayne!
WA SCHOOLS' HONOUR BAND
WA Schools' Honour Band is a woodwind, brass, and percussion program that hosts experienced student musicians from across WA in a weekend of concert band rehearsals and workshops.
The sectionals, or individual workshops, were used to work on each piece with the other instruments that have your part or something similar. These groups were made up of high woodwinds, high brass, bass end instruments, and percussion. In these groups, we were able to hear each other’s parts individually, and be able to understand where our own parts fit in with the rest.
The group rehearsals were amazing. Everyone was working together well and worked hard to pick up the six pieces quickly. It was amazing to be surrounded by other people who had the same interests and passions as us, and we all played our best for each other.
At the end of the second day we were prepared and excited for the first concert and presentation of the WA Schools' Honour Band. Our wonderful band directors introduced our songs to our parents and friends sitting in the audience, who were eager to witness what we had been working on all weekend. It was amazing to feel the nerves and anticipation with the whole band. The concert was a huge success and the feedback we received was very positive.
We are honoured to have been part of this amazing opportunity. It brought our skills to new levels, allowed us to meet with like-minded musicians, and most of all have an abundance of fun. Needless to say, this is an opportunity we will definitely take up once more and highly encourage others to strive towards those levels or, if already there, to take up this opportunity themselves.

Truman Ward | PPG
Truman is a quiet achiever who has a kind and gentle disposition. He is a mature and responsible student who makes good choices throughout the day.
Truman consistently follows school and classroom rules. He sits quietly at mat sessions listening carefully to his teachers and not interrupting them when they are teaching the class.
He is developing well in all learning areas, and can be relied upon to complete activities independently and quietly. Truman is a hard-working student who sets to work quickly and tries his best in all assigned tasks.
Truman shows great pride in being a student at Ursula Frayne by impeccably wearing his uniform and ensuring that his belongings are neatly stored in his locker box. He also makes sure that the classroom and play environment is neat and tidy after activities.
In his short time this term, Truman has displayed a responsible attitude, excellent behaviour and a willingness to help others. He plays fairly and cooperatively with his friends respecting their ideas. He is a wonderful model to his classmates.
Mrs Fernandez and Mrs Smith are very proud of all his achievements. It is a real joy to teach and watch him grow as he continues his learning journey this year.
Truman, you truly deserve being Aussie of the Month.
