24.01.2022 Motivational Monday!

24.01.2022 Year Three have been working hard all term learning about road safety . This week, they decided to showcase what they have learnt by making pamphlets and presenting them to our Year Two students. Sharing knowledge is what learning is all about

24.01.2022 We couldn't go to the farm this year... so the farm came to us! How cute are our Kinders (and teachers + our lovely principal) in their farmer outfits? A day we know Kindergarten will never forget!

23.01.2022 Parents - it's Wellbeing Tuesday! Our theme for today is CONNECT! Why not take some time today to be still? Click the Padlet link below for some ideas!

23.01.2022 Year Three have been learning about natural and man made landmarks in Australia. To show off their knowledge, they created artworks and fact files about a chosen landmark. Incredible work Year Three!

23.01.2022 This week, Year Six have been creating video biographies using the editing program Click Champ. We cant wait to see their final presentations

23.01.2022 Year Five have been using Mathematics to plan a real life situation during this pandemic - a holiday away in New South Wales. They are using their mapping, time, distance, ICT and planning skills during this task

22.01.2022 For most of us, Fathers Day is a special opportunity to let our fathers and grandfathers, our stepfathers, mentors and role models know how much we love them and how grateful we are for them and for all they do for us. But for some of us, Fathers Day carries a feeling of sadness. This day might be a reminder that our dad or grandad has passed away, or that we dont have the opportunity to see our dad as often as wed like. Today, we hold both the joy and the sadness of Fat...hers Day in our hearts as we pray. In the gospel stories and parables that Jesus told, we get an image of God as a loving parent a father who only wants the best for us and whose love is greater than anything we can measure. So, lets remind ourselves of the extraordinary love of our God

21.01.2022 Day 3 of back to school flashbacks

18.01.2022 Since Musica Viva couldnt come to us this week, we had an incursion over Zoom! Our students got to explore Antarctica with Alice Giles and Liena Lacey.

18.01.2022 Last week Year One measured and drew a curious creature. I wonder what it was? It had a massive rounded body covered in spots, an enormous gaping mouth with 3000 tiny teeth, a powerful crescent-shaped tail, and a large dorsal din to help with balancing. You guessed it, it was a Whale Shark!
