Week 8 Update
Harmony Week
On Wednesday we held our final precinct activity for Harmony Week with a drumming performance from Akwaarba, an African drumming group. Paul and Colin came and conducted a workshop with the students, giving the the opportunity to practice their skills on the djembe and dhun drums. Very enjoyable and well received activity to finish off our Harmony Week celebrations.

School Board
As part of our school governance and compliance we have a school board that supports the three schools of the Dianella Education Precinct; Secondary College, Education Support Centre and Primary College. The role of the school board is to make recommendations around school objectives and priorities, planning and financial arrangements to meet these priorities, evaluating school performance and supporting the development of student codes of conduct. Each of the schools has a parent representative, with Mr John Tasaveski representing the primary school. Due to work commitments, John is stepping down from the school board and we are seeking nominations from parents to join the school board. If you would like further information about the position or would like to nominate please feel free to either speak to me in the school office or via email; anthony,middleton@education.wa.edu.au
Nominations for the board will close on Friday 23rd April.
On behalf of Dianella Primary College and the Dianella Education Precinct Board, I would like to thank John for his contribution and support of the school board.
Mirrabooka Fresh
I would like to thank Mirrabooka Fresh, who have kindly donated fresh fruit and vegetables to our school, to help fuel some of our hungry students during our school crunch and sip program. As a school we certainly appreciate the support from Mirrabooka Fresh and would ask that when families are doing their weekly shopping at Mirrabooka Square they support the shop supporting our school.
