Father's Day Stall - Wednesday 2 September

Yesterday our Year 2 students enjoyed a fantastic ‘Cultural Explosion’ incursion as part of our Guided Inquiry learning in Celebrating Differences! Students had the opportunity to explore and experience different forms of traditional dance from China, Italy and India. It was a wonderful day filled with learning, movement, laughter and cultural celebration!

Our PJ Day & Breakfast Club was a huge success!
What a fantastic way to start the day! Students arrived in their cosy pyjamas, enjoyed a delicious breakfast with friends and helped create a wonderful sense of fun and community across the school.
A huge thank you to our amazing staff and volunteers who helped prepare breakfast, served food, set up, packed away and keep everything running so smoothly.
Most importantly, thank you to all our students and families for getting involved and supporting the day. Seeing so many smiling faces in their PJs was the perfect reminder that school is about learning, connection and having fun together.

Today our Prep students celebrated 100 Days Brighter! 🌟 They had a wonderful day taking part in a special parade to showcase their amazing outfits, playing fun maths games centred around the number 100, creating colourful crowns, and enjoying many other exciting activities. We also loved seeing the incredible 100 Days projects they proudly shared with their class—it was clear how much time, effort, and creativity they put into them!

Breakfast Club Day - Friday 7 August

The Year 4 students had a wonderful time on our excursion to Werribee Open Range Zoo! They were excited to see a wide variety of animals and enjoyed learning fascinating facts about life cycles, habitats, and the unique characteristics of different species. It was an enjoyable day filled with exploring and learning.

This week the Year 6 students enjoyed a spectacular Liquid Nitrogen show from the Mad About Science crew.

This term, our Year 1 students have loved exploring Back in the Day, discovering how life has changed from the past to the present. They investigated transport, schools, toys, fashion, communication, and family roles, comparing how life was long ago with how we live today.
To celebrate the end of our learning, we held a Back in the Day Dress-Up Day. Students arrived dressed in outfits from different time periods, including the 1800s, 1920s-1990s. It was a fun way to bring history to life, and everyone enjoyed sharing their costumes while reflecting on everything they had learned.
