Looking Back at a Meaningful Ramadan Initiative 🌙🤍

One of the most memorable moments from this year was seeing our students come together to make a difference in our community.

As part of a student-led initiative, thoughtfully prepared Ramadan boxes filled with essential groceries and food items were presented to our support staff, cleaners and helpers as a gesture of gratitude during the holy month. It was a simple act of kindness that reflected the compassion, generosity and respect that define our EC community.

We are grateful to our students for leading this initiative with such care and empathy, reminding us that even the smallest acts of giving can have a lasting impact.

Together, we continue to learn, thrive and make a difference.

A wonderful day in the Primary Library 📚

We were delighted to welcome Miya John, our Guest Storyteller, who shared engaging stories with our FS students and helped inspire a love of reading 📖🌟.

Year 11 student Miya is also completing her work experience with us, supporting our young readers.

🏛️🛡️ History Came to Life in Year 4!

Our Year 4 students stepped back in time as they explored the fascinating world of the Ancient Romans by designing and creating their very own Roman shields.

From planning authentic patterns and carefully constructing their shields to adding the finishing touches with colour and detail, every student embraced the challenge with creativity, patience and pride. Each shield reflected their learning while showcasing their unique ideas and craftsmanship.

Learning is always more memorable when students can create, explore and immerse themselves in history—and our Year 4 students certainly brought Ancient Rome to life!
