King's Baptist Grammar School - Wynn Vale

MIDDLE & SENIOR SCHOOL // Last week's Term 2 Affirmation Assembly was a joyful opportunity to celebrate the many achievements of our Years 6-12 students. It was a time to recognise not only academic success, but also the character, commitment, and growth demonstrated across all areas of school life. Students were acknowledged for their contributions in leadership, service, sport, and the arts, each reflecting our FISHER Principles of Fairness, Integrity, Service, Humility, Excellence, and Respect and Responsibility. These affirmations remind us of the importance of striving for our best and supporting one another as a community.

ELC // Our recent ELC 'Mum & Me' was a beautiful highlight within our ELC community. Children were invited to bring along their mum, grandmother, aunty or another special female in their lives to enjoy a relaxed evening together at ELC. Families shared food, conversations and time together before settling in to watch 'We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.' The excitement from the children as they arrived with their special guests created such a warm and joyful atmosphere throughout the evening.
