There will be a parade at 9:20am in the COLA.

12.01.2022 Has your child lost their jumper, hat or lunch box? There is a giant pile of lost property at our front office waiting to be found that was sorted by some of our Year 6 community leaders.

12.01.2022 Book week Parade Day!!! Thank you so much to our amazing community for the excitement created with costumes.

11.01.2022 Hello families In case you need a little something to acknowledge ANZAC Day we have found a (hopefully) simple craft activity. We are looking forward to virtually seeing you next week.

This survey is sent out at this time every year from all schools in the ACT and is completed by students from years 4-12, staff and parents/carers.

11.01.2022 Kindergarten had an awesome time exploring the National Botanic Gardens today. They learnt about the habitats of lots of different animals.

11.01.2022 Our lucky Year 5/6 students had the opportunity to hear about digital technology and robotics in the real world today from some special guests The listened to a presentation about how automation and robots help us to do daily tasks and then had the opportunity to ask a real robot named ‘Delvi’ some questions!

10.01.2022 Happy first day of August everyone! This means that we are back to wearing broad brimmed hats to school. A bucket hat, a legionnaires hat, a broad brimmed hat (available in the uniform shop). Please no caps as they don’t provide appropriate protection.

07.01.2022 In the last fortnight our Year 3-6 students visited Birrigai for a ‘day-camp’ All of the students had a great time in the bush learning about our local indigenous culture, the gold rush, bushfires and Australian wildlife. Thanks to the senior teachers who attended and supported our students!

03.01.2022 Beautiful to have all of our preschool, Montessori and K-2 students back. No one is happier than our bird life who always get some extra treats in the form of dropped crumbs. We have the quote of the day for you from a gorgeous conversation they are making a potion for annoying people. Well that is ok because no one here is annoying.( teacher) You know, it’s probably me because I talk and talk and talk. How lovely that we can talk again! Have a wonderful Monday. I know we are

02.01.2022 Over 50 parents and carers have already completed the 2020 School Satisfaction and Climate Survey but for the results to reflect the opinions of our whole school community, we need as many of you as possible to complete the survey before 31 August. Your unique survey link was sent in an email on Monday 10 August. Thank you to all our families who have already completed the survey; your feedback is appreciated.

02.01.2022 We were going to post something about today’s date and say something clever like May the 4th be with you but instead we thought we would give you some outdoor ideas. Have a fantastic day everyone.

02.01.2022 Remember your hats everyone! We are still wearing broad brimmed or bucket hats until the end of May. Today was OK though because we were just getting used to being back.

01.01.2022 Happy Friday everyone!!! We have almost made it through our first week of term 2 and hasn’t it been a change from what term 2 would normally look like! We have got most of our amazing students working from home along with their teachers but we also have nearly 50 students at Red Hill Primary School, 1 at Charles Weston School and 1 at Amaroo School. This week we have also had students doing their programs here whilst they waited for their spots at a safe supportive school site. It has been a steep learning curve for all and we thank everyone for their patience, resilience and kindness. I thought you might want to come for a walk with me this morning....
