Eaton College

CLASS SPOTLIGHT | 🌱🐥 There’s been so much learning happening in Class 1! We caught up with them earlier in the term as they explored 'Living Things' in Science.

As part of their learning, students planted their own garden and even welcomed three fluffy visitors to the classroom – baby chicks Mini Mouse, Flash and Sunshine!

It’s wonderful to see learning come to life through hands-on experiences, providing opportunities for each student to engage, explore and discover in ways that support them.

Thank you, Class 1, for sharing all the exciting things you’ve been up to! We can’t wait to see your garden flourish! 💐

AG CENTRE VISIT | 🐃🥚🐥 Today, we visited the Calvary Agricultural Centre!

We had a wonderful hands-on experience, where our students had the opportunity to get up close with cows, chickens and farm life.

From patting the animals to seeing the mango and banana trees, students were able to bring their in-class learning to life through real world experiences.

An amazing day of learning, discovery and hands-on fun! A big thank you to Mr Hair and his team for having us. We’re so blessed to have the Ag Centre right next door to Eaton! 🌳🚜

Our students had the incredible opportunity to get up close and personal with some amazing Australian wildlife, including:
