20.01.2022 Throughout Term 3, Year 5 have been learning about staying mentally healthy and one way to do this was by maintaining an active lifestyle. Having an active lifestyle has also been a theme during art lessons. Year 5 created three sculptures made from foil, pipe cleaners and wire. The wire sculpture was a portrait of themselves and the foil and pipe cleaners showed figures doing something active. Year 5 hosted a Sculpture Exhibition to show the other grades their amazing work.

11.01.2022 This term Year 4 have been studying the work of Australian Artist, John Olsen. They have learnt new art making techniques that include marbling and ink blowing and have created a major work that incorporates these techniques. These artworks are titled Wild Streams and are about a journey around water. This art work tied in nicely with our informative narrative writing topic and Book study, Rivertime by Trace Balla. Amazing work Year 4!

10.01.2022 Schools from across the Diocese participated in the 2020 Gala Day last week! It was so fantastic to see so many smiling faces on Friday 20th November, 2020, par...ticipating in the Netball & Touch Football gala day in Tamworth. After a year of almost no sport for some of these children, nominations flooded in as their eagerness to participate grew. Students loved the opportunity to play against fellow schools, encourage each other and develop teamwork throughout the day. The gala day catered for those more experienced players, to those just giving a new sport a go, no child was turned away and boy oh boy did we have a blast! The gala day certainly reminded us how important physical activity, social interaction and a sense of camaraderie is for our students. #galaday2020

09.01.2022 This term the Year 6 students have been studying extreme events such as cyclones, volcanic eruptions, floods and tsunamis. They then took charge of their own learning by looking into one extreme event in more depth and presented their information in a range of ways. From creative recounts that tell a harrowing story of how they survived their extreme event, to awesome dioramas and models displaying interesting ways to overcome the effects (even models in Minecraft). They have shown that there is a range of ways we can learn that tap into our many talents.

05.01.2022 Not your average school holiday activity! Code Camp is where kids aged 5-14 can code, create and develop their very own app in a fun and safe environment.In a w...orld of smartphones, robots and virtual reality, coding is no longer just a niche skill for rocket scientists at NASA its now a powerful way to innovate, influence and create the world we live in. Not every child will become a developer, but learning the fundamentals of coding gives children the confidence and knowledge to be in control with technology not just as a passive consumer, but as a creator and driving force. Code camp programs are also eligible for the NSW Government Creative Kids Rebate! The NSW Creative Kids rebate allows all families with children aged 4.5 to 18 to claim $100 back on creative pursuits for each child, once a year. This rebate, called Creative Kids is similar to Active Kids and works in exactly the same way. Please note that this rebate is available to NSW residents only.With just two weeks to go until school holidays, this one is worth checking out! Find out more at www.codecamp.com.au
