STUDENT LIFE // Still smiling! 😁

Two weeks to go until the school holidays, and the smiles around campus are still going strong.

There’s a little tiredness setting in, but both students and staff are powering through the final stretch with great spirit and determination. Staff have the extra encouragement of being fuelled by amazing coffee ☕ from our Student Café to keep them going!

A great mix of focus, friendship, and anticipation as we head toward the break. 💙💛🩵

STUDENT LIFE // The G*T 💆🧠

Our senior students are set to take on the G*T, and we are so proud of the dedication and effort they have shown throughout their studies 👨🏼‍🎓👏.

The G*T (General Achievement Test) is a statewide assessment that measures students’ general knowledge and skills in areas such as writing, numeracy and reasoning, and plays an important role in supporting fair and accurate VCE results.

As they step into this important assessment, we encourage them to approach it with confidence and do their best on the day🩵💛.

We are behind you all the way 💙

STUDENT LIFE // Happy Student-Free Day!

Today is Correction Day, which means that while our students get a little break, our teachers are working hard on marking, moderating, reviewing assessments and writing reports. ‍📚👩🏻‍🏫 .

A quieter campus, but plenty happening behind the scenes 📝!

CREATIVITY IN ACTION // Pursuits Program 🧩

This week in our Pursuits program, students continued to immerse themselves in hands-on Arts and Craft experiences, working with mosaics, wool, sensory toys and a variety of textiles🫟.

Through each project, they were encouraged to think critically, solve problems and embrace creative challenges, exploring new techniques while bringing their ideas to life. It’s been wonderful to see their perseverance and imagination on display as they refine their skills and express their individuality. 🎨✨

LEARNING IN ACTION // Look How Far We’ve Come! ✏️

It was our Years 1–2 students turn to welcome their families in to celebrate their learning 🎉

From putting their maths skills to the test ➕➗, to sharing their cursive writing and reading, it was such a special time of connection. Students and their visitors also worked together on a fun crossword that covered all areas of the curriculum.

There were also some wonderful hands-on Humanities activities, with guests joining in to try chopsticks and origami alongside the students. Visitors even jumped into a game of chess and other favourite activities!

A lovely celebration of growth, confidence, and everything they’ve been working so hard on this year 🩵💙💛

PLAYGROUP // God Made Cows 🐮

A chilly morning didn’t stop the fun at Playgroup this week! ❄️🐄

We loved welcoming some new faces as our little ones explored God Made Cows through stories, songs, and hands-on creativity. The highlight? Creating and decorating their very own cows using bread and choc chips—almost too cute to eat!

A wonderful morning of learning, laughter, and discovering God’s wonderful creation 💙
