Our Longbeach senior students took part in Meals on Wheels on Wednesday 26 August as part of their community service for the William Pike Challenge.

It was a wonderful opportunity to give back to our community, deliver meals to people who need them, and connect with and support others.

A huge thank you to the parents who helped with transportation. Your support made this experience possible! 🙌

We would like to move the buses off the busy Longbeach Road and onto Boundary Road. To do this, we need to replace an existing fence, the old silver bit by Room Lynnford, move the fence line back and install a new black fence with a gate. This is so we can create a new bus bay on the quieter Boundary Road for loading and unloading students.

Another fantastic day on our annual school ski trip! ❄️⛷️

What started with some uncertainty around the weather turned into an epic day on the mountain. Every child embraced the conditions and had an awesome time out on the snow!

Although some chairlifts were temporarily closed throughout the day, it was fantastic to see the children making the most of the alternative runs, stepping outside their comfort zones, and challenging themselves on new terrain. Most importantly, they spent the day laughing, learning, and creating memories with their friends.

It was wonderful to see everyone (students, parents and teachers alike!) making the most of such a great day on the mountain! 🌨️🎿
