📚✨ Book Week | Dress Up Day & Parade✨📚

One of our all-time favourite days! We love seeing our creative students (and parents!) bring their favourite book characters to life. 📖💫

A special thank you to our wonderful Whitfield families who joined us for the Book Week Parade ❤️

With belonging at the heart of our conversations this week, it was wonderful to see our school community come together, connect and celebrate. 🥰

Wow — what a busy week we have had! 👏

🏆 Congratulations to our Students of the Week!
🏅 We also celebrated students recognised for their sporting achievements.
🎫 Our Book Week Golden Ticket winners enjoyed a special lunch with Mr Thompson.
🗑️1H provided some reminders and shared their posters
🎭 And our school community was wowed by an incredible performance from our talented Musical Academy students!

What a way to wrap up the week!

🟢 PACE Day | SLIME THE TEACHER! 🟢
Things got a little messy at this week’s assembly!
Miss McGuinness, Mr Jackson and Miss Reid were brave enough to take on the SLIME ZONE — and our students absolutely loved it!
💰 Keep those fundraising dollars coming! The more we raise, the more teachers we can slime next week!
Who will be next?
