🌟Student Achievement🌟

We're so proud to celebrate Gracie and Paloma, who have both been selected to represent their club representative teams! 🏐✨

Gracie has been selected to represent TasTech Sheds South East Netball Association (SENA Suns) in the U11s team. She also enjoyed an exciting weekend competing in Launceston and will continue her representative journey in Hobart in August and October.

Paloma has been named as a training partner for the U12 Southern Tasmanian Netball Association (STNA) representative squad - an amazing achievement!

Congratulations girls! We’re incredibly proud of your achievements and the dedication you continue to show. 🌟

📢 Long Weekend Reminder

Today, our Grade 6 students celebrated Mass with Father Ben. It’s always a special time for our classes to come together each week in prayer, reflection, and faith. 🙏✨

SETUP – Friday 5th June

Due to the weather, SET UP will be held in the classroom tomorrow rather than on the oval riding bikes.

Please join us for a fun morning of play and exploration as we learn about cars, bikes, trucks, and other things that move! Children will have the opportunity to engage in a range of hands-on activities and make discoveries about different vehicles.

SET UP is free to attend, and we would love for you to come along and join the fun!

Look forward to seeing you there!🚗🚲🚚✨

Today our students came together to take part in National Simultaneous Storytime, joining schools and libraries across Australia in this special celebration of reading. 📚✨

This year’s story, Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller, followed Luna and her friends as they chased their football dreams, bringing plenty of smiles, laughter and excitement to our day. After watching the story, students had fun designing football jerseys using templates featuring their names and team logos.

We are so grateful for the important role our Library plays in creating opportunities for learning, connection and community every day. 💛💛
