13.01.2022 Year 5 and their Kinder buddies had such a good time doing Christmas Craft together

11.01.2022 This term in Science, Year 3 has been exploring the topic States of Matter. As part of the unit the children had to design, conduct and evaluate their own experiment which demonstrated a change of matter. Each group then presented their findings to the class. There were many talented young scientists of the future!!

11.01.2022 Kinder wrote Santa letters last week and this week Santa wrote back to Kinder! How exciting! We had a special delivery by our class elves who brought them back from the North Pole for us.

11.01.2022 Year 1 has been very busy this term really focusing on improving their English and Maths skills and all their hard work is really starting to pay off. They have been having fun and learning a lot through Martial Arts, Science Week, Christian Meditation, the athletics carnival and digital learning. Just to name a few things. Our clever Year 1 students have also today completed the STAR program. The growth from these students have been incredible! Congratulations to you all.

09.01.2022 What an amazing time Year 4 have had and Term 4 has not held us back. From Healthy Harold to building ‘A Better Mousetrap’, deepening our understanding of the British Colonisation and the effect this has had on Indigenous Australians and developing our skills in tennis. We have created COVID-19 safe homes in Science and danced up a storm in Creative Arts. We have explored Bee Bots, Makey Makey’s, Sphero’s and virtual reality. It feels like we have done it all and had no time to rest. So many highlights!!!

07.01.2022 During Week 8 and 9 Year 1's PBS focus was "No Hands On". We discussed games to play in the playground with our friends where we did not have to touch each other. We learnt how to play the Scissors Paper Rock Battle and are teaching others in infants on how to play it. We also learnt about aeroplane arms and this allows us to have our own personal space. The students said "It was like social distancing".

06.01.2022 Thank you KS for hosting our prayer assembly so beautifully.

05.01.2022 Kinder love painting and creating in their Visual Arts lessons. Last week Kinder made mixed media tigers and the finished product looks fabulous!

01.01.2022 Our hearts were bursting with happiness as we welcomed our new Kindergarten students and their families on Thursday morning.
