What an incredible week our SPJE Grade 6 students had on camp in Canberra! 🇦🇺✨

From the moment they arrived, students embraced every opportunity with enthusiasm, curiosity and teamwork. It was a jam-packed week filled with unforgettable experiences, learning and lots of laughs along the way.

Some of the many highlights included visits to the Museum of Australian Democracy, the Electoral Education Centre, the Australian Institute of Sport, Questacon, the Australian War Memorial, Parliament House and Geoscience Australia. Students immersed themselves in hands-on activities, explored Australia’s history and government, and created memories that will last a lifetime.

We are so proud of the way our students represented SPJE throughout the trip — showing respect, resilience and positivity every step of the way. A huge thank you to our staff for making this amazing experience possible! ❤️

A huge congratulations to all of our amazing SPJE sports teams on their outstanding efforts and achievements over the last couple of weeks! 🏆👏

Last week, our girls football team competed in the Division Girls AFL Championships, playing an incredible 6 games, winning 4, losing 2, and finishing 3rd overall! What an amazing effort and something to be so proud of! 💪🏉

🥈 T-Ball Girls – 2nd place
🥉 AFL Boys – 3rd place

🐢 Meet Stumpy – Our Beloved School Turtle! ☀️

Most of you already know him, but for those that dont - Stumpy has been part of our school family for over 20 years! He’s a calm little legend who loves soaking up the sunshine, chilling in his brand-new outdoor playpen, and of course… enjoying his favourite treat – worms! 🪱💚

If you’re ever passing by, feel free to stop and say hi. Stumpy absolutely loves visitors and a bit of attention. We’re so lucky to have him as part of our community! 🐢✨

Our G6 girls had an amazing time at the Girls on Track Motorsport Event! 🏎️✨ They explored the world of motorsport through hands-on activities, STEM challenges, and inspiring sessions that showed them what’s possible on and off the track.

Such an empowering experience for our girls — so proud of their enthusiasm and teamwork! 💛🙌

🏐 Congratulations to our G6 Girls Volleyball Team! 🏐

A huge well done to our amazing G6 girls for their fantastic effort at the Regional Championships! 🌟 You played with determination, teamwork, and great spirit all day.

While the team won’t be heading to State this year, we’re so proud of how far you’ve come and the way you represented our school — both on and off the court. 👏💪

Well done, girls! You should all be so proud of yourselves! 💙🤍

🌟 Huge Congratulations! 🌟

A massive congratulations to one of our incredible G6 students who is the youngest person to complete the Kokoda Trail! 👏🏽🇵🇬

The Kokoda Trek is one of the most challenging treks in the world. An incredible 123km through the steep mountains and dense jungle of Papua New Guinea. It’s also a place of great historical significance for Australia, as it was the site of one of the toughest battles fought by Australian soldiers during World War II. 🇦🇺

He completed this epic journey alongside his dad and their group to raise awareness and funds for the Type 1 Diabetes Foundation, in honour of his younger brother another one of our wonderful students who lives with Type 1 Diabetes. 💙

What an inspiring achievement showing courage, endurance, and compassion — we are all so proud of you! 💪🏽🏅
