Grade  6 Report

Green and gold have been on our minds! 

Go Aussies, go! 

The excitement has been building as the 2024 Olympic Games are here! Grade 6 have been diving into all things Olympics, from cheering on Team Australia to discovering fun facts about rival countries, famous athletes, and the host cities for our information reports.
