Sharing Knowledge Across Year Levels

🌞Our Grade 6 students recently had the wonderful opportunity to showcase their Solar System🌏 projects to our Grade 2 classes in a special show-and-tell session. With both year levels exploring the Solar System as part of the curriculum, this was a fantastic opportunity to connect learning across classes and build a strong sense of community.📚💻

This learning experience was about much more than just presenting work. It highlighted the power of sharing knowledge and the value of peer learning. By explaining their thinking and answering questions, our Grade 6 students further developed their confidence, communication skills, and deeper understanding of the topic.

At the same time, our curious Grade 2 learners were highly engaged, asking thoughtful questions and even teaching the older students a few fascinating facts about the Moon!🌙🌕

🎉Well done to all students involved for making this such a meaningful and inspiring experience!

Senior Athletics Carnival Wrap-Up 🏃‍♀️🏅
Wow—what an amazing day we had at our Year 3–6 Athletics Carnival at Barlow Park on Tuesday! Our students demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship, gave their very best in every event, and truly made it a day to remember.
A special thank you to Mrs Lay for her wonderful organisation of the carnival, and to all of our staff for their dedication and support throughout the day.
We are also incredibly grateful to our volunteers who assisted in the lead-up and on the day, and to our families who came along to cheer on our students—your encouragement made the atmosphere so special!
Well done to everyone involved 👏

🤗We are proud of our Chess Club students who represented our school at yesterday’s inter-school chess competition.

🌞They demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship, focus, and teamwork throughout the day, and most importantly, thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

A special thank you to Ms Grace for her guidance and support, and to Mrs Porter for her organisation in making the day possible.

Congratulations to Aldrin on a fantastic achievement as the overall Year 4 winner—well done! ♟️👏

🏉 State of Origin Spirit! 💙❤️
Students and staff had a fantastic day showing their team pride, proudly wearing their State of Origin colours! It was wonderful to see so much spirit and excitement around the school.

📚Readers Cup

On Thursday last week four students took part in the Readers Cup. Before the event, the girls had to read four novels and then test themselves with different questions to try and remember key events in the story.

🚕We travelled out to Peace Lutheran College to compete. There were 42 teams in total. They had to answer 12 questions from each book.

👏The girls did really well and finished 22nd overall.
