🚀 PBL SHOWCASE EVENING | FOLLOW THE JOURNEY! ✨

What happens when students become curious thinkers, creative problem-solvers and designers of their own learning? You get an incredible Project-Based Learning journey! 🌟

Join us on Wednesday 16 September for our PBL Showcase Evening, as our students share where their learning has taken them - from wondering and questioning, to researching, designing, creating, testing, refining and reflecting. 🔍💡🛠️

This is more than an exhibition of finished projects. It’s a celebration of the process, the learning, the challenges, the creativity and the growth that happen along the way.

🍔 Food Trucks: 5:00–7:00pm
🎨 Prep–Year 2 Showcase: 5:30–6:30pm
🚀 Year 3–Year 6 Showcase: 6:00–7:00pm

Come along, explore, ask questions, celebrate our students’ achievements and see PBL in action!

We can’t wait to showcase the incredible learning happening across our school.

BULLYING NO WAY WEEK 🧡 | SMALL ACTS, BIG IMPACTS

It’s Bullying No Way Week! 🧡

This Friday, 21 August, we’re encouraging our students to embrace this year’s theme: Small Acts, Big Impacts.

Small acts of kindness, inclusion, courage and respect can make a big difference. Together, we can help create a school community where everyone feels safe, valued and included.

Students are invited to wear a splash of orange on Friday - an orange T-shirt, socks, or hair accessories! Students may also choose to wear their school uniform.

Let’s show how our small acts can make a big impact! 🧡

JUMPING INTO FITNESS! ❤️

Our Year 3 students are training hard for their upcoming Jump Rope for Heart morning! They’re learning new skipping tricks, building their fitness and heart health, and having lots of fun with their friends along the way. 💪❤️

What a great way to start each day! ☀️

THE WEEK AHEAD ✨

💯 FLASHBACK TO 100 DAYS OF PREP! 🎉

A little flashback to when our Preps celebrated 100 days of Prep!

The day was filled with craft, games, laughter, friendship and plenty of fun, along with a fabulous 100 Days dress-up opportunity!

It was such a special milestone to celebrate how much our Preps have learned, grown and achieved in their first 100 days of school.

What a wonderful first 100 days it has been!

YEAR 6 SYDNEY & CANBERRA ADVENTURE 🇦🇺✨

Last week, our Year 6 students embarked on an incredible week-long adventure from Sydney to Canberra, an experience that was about so much more than seeing the sights. It was an opportunity to grow, learn, challenge themselves and create memories together.

Along the way, they developed independence, resilience and confidence, supported one another through new experiences and embraced every challenge , all while sharing plenty of fun, laughter and unforgettable moments.

A wonderful week of learning beyond the classroom, growing together and making memories that will last a lifetime! 🌏✨ Special thanks to our fabulous teachers for planning and leading this experience.

EKKA HOLIDAY! 🎡

A friendly reminder to our Good News Lutheran School families that the school will be CLOSED tomorrow, Wednesday 12 August, for the Ekka public holiday.

We hope everyone enjoys a safe and relaxing day!

School will resume on Thursday 13 August.

READY, SET, GROW! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Prep–Year 2 Sport Morning is coming! 🎉

While Sport Morning is about having fun, having a go and wearing our colours with pride, it is also about developing skills and growing our physical capabilities.

Our Prep–Year 2 students have been receiving step-by-step instruction from our fabulous PE Teacher, Mrs. Cartwright, on how to correctly perform events such as long jump and shot put. These skills provide important foundations that students can continue to build on as they progress through the years.

We love seeing our youngest students learning new skills, challenging themselves and giving things a go! 💪🏅
