🥅 ⚽ Stage 3 Soccer Gala Day ⚽ 🥅

Last week, our Stage 3 students enjoyed a fantastic day of football, teamwork and sportsmanship at the Stage 3 Soccer Gala Day! Our students represented the school with pride, demonstrating determination, resilience and excellent teamwork both on and off the field.

Throughout the day, students showcased their soccer skills, encouraged their teammates and displayed outstanding respect for opponents, referees and spectators. It was wonderful to see so many positive attitudes, great goals and smiling faces.

A big thank you to our staff, coaches, referees and families for their support in making the day such a success. We are incredibly proud of all our players for their effort, enthusiasm and sportsmanship.

Well done, Stage 3!

🏃🏽‍♂️☀️ Athletics Carnival ☀️ 🏃🏽‍♂️

At the start of the term, we had our School Athletics Carnival where our students showcased outstanding determination, resilience and school spirit throughout the day. From cheering on their peers to giving their absolute best in every event, the sportsmanship displayed was something to be truly proud of.

A huge congratulations to the students who broke school records — an amazing achievement and a testament to your hard work and dedication! We loved seeing so many smiling faces, team spirit and students having a fantastic time together.

A very special thank you to all of our volunteers who generously gave their time to assist throughout the carnival. Your support, encouragement and help behind the scenes ensured the day ran so smoothly. Events like these simply wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of our wonderful school community.

📜🇦🇺 Year 4 Rocks Walking Excursion 🇦🇺📜

Last week, our Year 4 students enjoyed a fantastic day exploring The Rocks and stepping back in time to learn about the arrival of the First Fleet.

Students participated in an engaging guided tour, discovering what life was like for convicts, settlers, and Aboriginal peoples during the early days of European settlement. They explored historic sites, visited the museum, and developed a deeper understanding of the significant events that helped shape Australia’s history.

It was wonderful to see our students asking thoughtful questions, making connections to their classroom learning, and bringing history to life through hands-on experiences.

A big thank you to our guides and staff who made this memorable learning experience possible!
