This term, the Penguins enjoyed an exciting visit to the zoo, where they explored a variety of animals and learnt fascinating facts about their habitats and behaviours. Back in the classroom, they showcased their creativity through artwork and imaginative Lego constructions, developing their problem-solving skills while bringing their ideas to life. It has been a wonderful term filled with learning, discovery and creativity.

Kindergarten had a wonderful visit to the farm the other day, enjoying a truly hands-on learning experience on a beautiful sunny day. The students loved getting up close with farm life, with highlights including milking the cows and experiencing an exciting tractor ride around the property. It was a fun and engaging day that helped bring their learning to life through real-world experiences and plenty of smiles.

Our Stage 3 students finished off their visit to Canberra yesterday with a trip to Cockington Green Gardens. Students enjoyed exploring the beautiful miniature gardens and displays, and even had a fun ride on the train!

Our students arrived back at school at 6pm last night after a fantastic two days filled with unforgettable experiences and memory-making in Canberra. We are so thrilled to see so many of our Stage 3 students back at school today, ready to resume their lessons as normal! What an amazing experience it was for everyone involved!
