National Science Week 2026: Seeds of Science - Nurturing Knowledge for All

This week, our students have been busy celebrating National Science Week 2026 by creating their very own cress heads with their buddy classes.

Working together, students explored the science behind plant growth, learning that every seed has the potential to grow when it is provided with the right conditions. This hands-on activity encouraged curiosity, collaboration, and a deeper understanding of the living world around us.

The theme, "Seeds of Science: Nurturing Knowledge for All," reminds us that learning begins with small ideas that, when nurtured, can flourish into wonderful discoveries.

Our cress heads are now hard at work growing their "hair," and we can't wait to see the results!

Stay tuned next week when we showcase our creations and reveal some fantastic new hairstyles!

🎉 Congratulations to our Early Childhood Values Champions, who were recognised on Monday for their outstanding demonstration of our values. 🎉

We were delighted to celebrate alongside our families, whose support and involvement help make our community so special. It was wonderful to see the smiles, pride, and excitement as our students received their awards.

Well done to all of our champions. We are incredibly proud of you! ⭐👏

Congratulations to our weekly values ‘caught you’ card winners for week 3. We love to acknowledge our students for giving their best effort during the week.

🌱 Exciting Progress on Our Oval Restoration! 🌱

Yesterday marked the beginning of Stage 2 of our oval restoration project, and our students were thrilled to see all the action happening today! 🚜

There was plenty of excitement as machinery moved in and work got underway on the next phase of transforming this important space. Our oval is at the heart of daily PE lessons, play, sport, and community activities, and we can't wait to watch it continue to take shape over the coming weeks.

We are looking forward to seeing the progress unfold throughout the term and sharing updates with our school community along the way.

🎉🌟Celebrating Our Principal, Mrs Mitchell🌟🎉

Although we're a few days late, we couldn't let National Principal's Day pass without recognising and celebrating our wonderful Principal, Leana Mitchell.

Mrs Mitchell leads our school community with dedication, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to helping every student and staff member thrive. Her positive attitude, approachable nature, and genuine care for our families make our school a welcoming and supportive place to learn and grow.

We are incredibly grateful for the leadership, encouragement, and hard work Mrs Mitchell brings to our school each and every day. Her passion for education and commitment to our community is appreciated by students, staff, and families alike.

Thank you, Mrs Mitchell, for all that you do. We are fortunate to have such an inspiring Principal leading our school.

💙 Happy National Principal's Day! 💙
