24.01.2022 Year 3’s had an amazing time out in the sunshine on our city excursions this week. Students were exploring our Central Idea - Appreciation of the arts can be seen in our surrounding world. Beginning at Carlton Gardens and walking through the city to NGV, students took note of architecture, design features, and public artworks such as sculptures and street art. We have returned with a deeper appreciation for the arts and lots of inspiration for our future learning.

21.01.2022 100 Happy 100 days of Learning to all of our wonderful Foundation Students! We think completing 100 days of being a school kid is a pretty big deal! We celebrated today with an online Zoom party in each Foundation classroom, where students and teachers shared a special breakfast together and decorated their homes with handmade decorations they had prepared during the week. We would like to say thank you to all our families for your support as well as to the staff who were on site at Milgate today helping our Foundation students celebrate their special day.

18.01.2022 WELCOME BACK EVERYONE! It was so lovely to see all of our wonderful students as they walked through the school gates this morning with music playing, bubbles blowing and excitement in the air. Down in Foundation, students had lots of fun exploring their new Discovery areas and reconnecting with friends they haven’t seen in a while. There are sure to be lots of tired kids at home tonight! Thank you to all involved in a positive start back to on-site learning

17.01.2022 As part of our inquiry into How the world works, the Year 5 students participated in an excursion to the Melbourne Museum and IMAX Cinema. The students explored the '600 Million Years' and 'Dynamic Earth' exhibits and they left with lots of questions about geological events. The movies 'A Beautiful Planet' and 'Apollo II First Steps' left them fascinated by mankind's desire to explore space. It is going to be an exciting unit of inquiry as we inquire into all the wonderings and questions provoked by today's excursion.

09.01.2022 This term as part of our ‘How we organise ourselves’ unit of inquiry, the Year 5 students have been exploring how money is central to how people live all over the world. On Monday the students took action and held a ‘Maker’s Market’ where they created handmade products and sold them to the school community. After being particularly inspired by Koky Saly from The Beekeeper Parade, students decided that the majority of money raised will be donated to his organization. The students will decide which charity the remaining funds will go to.
