Provo Primary’s Logo is a Pink Flamingo. In ancient Egypt, flamingos were symbols of the sun. Flamingos also symbolize beauty, balance and grace. We believe that Provo Primary Flamingos are sunny, beautiful, graceful and balanced, who with their beautiful plumage, attract attention wherever they go.
Our little student flamingos certainly attracted attention and made us very proud yesterday as they captivated the audience with their performances depicting Provo Primary’s evolution and Pink Flamingo; their rendition of “I Believe I Can Fly’’; celebrations of our surrounding sporting facilities; and in thanking our community members for their assistance with sports.

Last year, after-school rugby and soccer clubs run by community and parent volunteers raised $1210 to further supplement our school P.E. equipment.   Thank you Jamie, Jen, Zoe and Janine for your time and efforts over the year.  The clubs were well supported and enjoyed by the children.  The PTA also helped us to purchase a field hockey set.   Thank you everyone.

All the new resources will enable us to continue to broaden our P.E. curriculum throughout the school, by offering a wide range of sports to appeal to different interests of our children.  They will also help us to  promote and instil a love of P.E. and the desire to make healthy lifestyle choices.

Following the success of the introduction of  handball last year to our invasion game units, we are excited this year to introduce field hockey and beach soccer.  Last year we also introduced squash to our net/wall game units and this was very popular with the children.

Read on to see all the new equipment we have brought…

We cordially invite you to attend our assembly on Thursday 26th September at 2.15pm, during which time we will be celebrating being 10 years at our current location at Flamingo Park.  Join us for songs, steel pans, poems, cake and more!

In total, the school has been in operation for 22 years so it won’t be long before we’re celebrating our silver anniversary!

Regardless of whether or not you are able to attend, we would appreciate that if you are a Provo Primary alumni family, a past teacher or a current attendee that could share with us a couple of sentences describing memories of your time at Provo Primary, either as a parent or student, to be displayed in our entrance way.  Please email these to us by 25th Sept.

Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you and hopefully seeing you next week.

Take the pledge to help turn the tide on ocean trash – mark your calendars, set your alarms and give 30 minutes of your time for a place that gives you hours of enjoyment throughout the year.

The Department of Environment and Maritime Affairs (DEMA) will be once again spearheading a Coastal Clean-up in support of the Ocean Conservancy-led International Coastal Clean-up Day.

Be there at 7am at the Children’s Park in the Bight, this Saturday  21 st September .  Bring gloves and a bags if possible.

Over half a million volunteers participated around the world, covering a distance of nearly 18,000 mile, collecting over 10 million pounds of rubbish!

Last year in Provo, we collected 63 bags of trash, consisting of beer cans, glass bottles, plastic bottles, cans and other general debris.  Myself and two Provo Primary families joined in the effort of this initiative.  This year we hope that many more teachers and families will support the event.

Learn more about International Coastal Clean-up Day.

 During our hockey camp this year, the children worked with Josh Williams, from Philadelphia Revolution Junior A team in the Eastern Hockey League. Josh, now 18 years old, is an ex Provo Primary student himself and the son of Director, Alison Williams. He has been living, attending school and playing ice hockey in The U.S since 2007.  Josh was happy to come back to Provo to work with our children this summer. ” We worked on improving our skating, getting better at stick handling, we worked on our shot and played a lot of fun games”.

Josh said, “The children were all enthusiastic, worked hard and improved greatly over the week”. The children said “We all had fun working with Josh!”

Both our boys and girls’ teams have thoroughly enjoyed participating in a friendly inter-school Beach Soccer Tournament this past couple of weeks.

Playing on the new TCIFA beach soccer pitch for the first time was exciting.  It certainly was a challenge, with the ball not rolling as much as it usually does on grass.  It’s hard on your muscles to run in sand, too!

Both teams played really well, with the girls almost reaching the final.

I was impressed by the teamwork, support, skills and sheer determination to keep going, in spite of tiredness and injuries. There was some fantastic defending and some terrific goals.  “It felt good to score a goal!” said one of the girls who had scored an amazing goal by chipping the ball over the defenders and over the goalie’s head into the back of the net.

Well done to our dedicated environmentally-conscious families who rose early this morning to participate in the 5th annual Earth Day TCI Shines Clean-up campaign.  Thank you for taking part in this community event to help keep our island ‘beautiful by nature’.

Joining forces with a group of volunteers from The Point Grace Resort, the litter-grabbing team traveled the route between the school and the Graceway Sports Centre and TCIFA soccer field.  This route is frequently used by our children on their way to use these sporting facilities as part of our P.E programme.

In all, over a dozen giant rubbish bags were filled with litter!  On a positive note this seemed less than when we collected along this same route back in October 2011, but still it was a disappointment to find so many drink bottles, snack packets and food containers littering our local community.   Our young helpers just couldn’t understand why the litter was there.  “People should put it in the bin!” they remarked.
