22.01.2022 Week 10 Recess Specials:

21.01.2022 Yesterday Mrs. Bhangu, Mrs. Densley and Mrs. Godfrey’s classes went on an excursion to Quorn and The Mount Brown Conservation Park. Students have been working on a STEM project that requires them to be a project manager. In Term 4, they will be working through a design process to develop a prototype for the future APPS playground to present at a school assembly. When visiting Quorn Area School and Quorn town centre, students were gaining ideas and working together to see real... life examples of playgrounds and gardens. They walked to the waterfall area at Mount Brown Conservation Park to eat recess and then walked to checkpoint 3 along the trail towards the summit. The students supported and encouraged each other the whole way. After their lovely but exhausting walk, the students enjoyed lunch at the community playground in Quorn before heading back to school. Congratulations and thank you to all the teachers and ancillary staff who helped make the day a success! See more
