Junior School, Term 2 Week 5 2026

Junior School Disco – Friday 19 June 2026 and Nature Market

We are excited to announce the Junior School Disco will be held on Friday 19 June in Wyatt Hall, a wonderful opportunity for students to enjoy music, dancing and fun with their peers. Discos will take place after the Nature Market in the morning.

• Cost is $12 per student which includes a wristband, pizza, and drink
• Further details, including the booking link, will be emailed directly to Year 5 and 6 families.

Nature Market

Year 3-5 classes will set up stalls in June, whilst the R-2 classes will set stalls up in November. The Market will operate between 8.45am and 10.00am. One of the key ideas behind the Nature Market is sustainability.  We know that in the past there have been families who have sold products such as sauces and preserves etc. If you would like to be involved, please email Kass Woods at Kass.woods@pulteney.sa.edu.au

We ask that any stall requests reflect the theme of sustainability and recognise that most customers on the day will be children.

Examples of items to be brought in from home:

• Propagated plants.
• Home-made items – please ensure items are clearly labelled with ingredients and do not contain nuts.
• Home grown produce, such as fruit and vegetables.
• No products with excessive sugar are to be brought in, such as lollies, or drinks.

National Reconciliation Week at Pulteney – Week 7 

Badge making will also take place in the Quad during recess and lunch on Monday 1 and Tuesday 2 June, with a gold coin donation available for those who wish to contribute.

• Senior School Assembly – Tuesday 2 June, 8.45am (special guest speaker)
• Middle School Assembly – Thursday 4 June, 8.45am
• Junior School Chapel Service – Friday 5 June (paper chain display and celebration)

We look forward to coming together as a community to take part in this important week.

Timing of Activities

Please note that while National Reconciliation Week officially begins earlier through Reconciliation Australia, Pulteney’s whole-school activities will commence from Monday 1 June. This timing allows our community to fully engage in both Founders’ Day and the School Musical Production in Week 6.
