25.01.2022 The Perceptual Motor Program (PMP) is a movement-based program for students in Prep - Year 2. Throughout the program students are required to use their senses and motor skills in a variety of movement challenges. Each week students complete a series of different stations that focus on body awareness, directional awareness, spatial awareness, hand/eye and foot/eye coordination, locomotor movements, balance, strength, depth perception, eye tracking and fine motor skills.

24.01.2022 Year 5 enjoyed learning about the solar system and other science topics today in their Science lesson through augmented reality. The students used a MergeCube and the Explorer app to manipulate animated images of planets and other celestial bodies to discover information and play quizzes to test what they had learnt.

24.01.2022 The Year 6 students organised Side Show Alley games for the rest of the school today. This event gives the students the opportunity to collaborate and cooperate in teams as they decide on the themes, decorations, timetable, set up and organisation of their stall. It also provides them with a wonderful opportunity for service with all funds raised being given to the ALWS GRACE project.

20.01.2022 Mrs Caton, Year 4 English students and invited guests enjoyed sipping tea from Mrs Olds china tea sets and sharing delicious morsels as they celebrated the 75th birthday of Pippi Longstocking. Thankfully everyone was very well behaved and didnt behave like Pippi, although we did all dress a bit different as Pippi would.

20.01.2022 As the Year 6 students were unable to travel to Canberra, yesterday Parliament House came to them. Andrew and Lara, who work for the Parliamentary Education Office in Parliament House, led online sessions via Zoom, extending the students understanding of how government operates, how laws are made and how we can all be active citizens. They answered many questions from our students and helped them solve this mystery: Does the Governor General need to vote in Federal elections? Do you know the answer?
