THANK YOU!

2024 has almost come to an end, along with your child’s first year of primary school!

Prep staff would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all the families for all of your hard work and dedication throughout the year. This year would not have been nearly as magical without your commitment and enthusiasm. We wish you all a happy holiday season, and we will see you again in the New Year!

Reflecting on the year!

It has been a great year of literacy learning! The preps have come so far with their reading, writing, and speaking and listening skills. We have learnt various decoding strategies, developed our comprehension through listening to narratives and information texts, and have worked on our interaction skills through speaking in full sentences to share our ideas with others.

This year, the Prep students have learnt and grown so much in Maths. Students have learnt to count forwards and backwards to 20, add and subtract numbers, learnt to represent numbers, find parts within a number, friends of 5 and friends of 10. They have also learnt about time (days of the week), 2D & 3D shapes, length, location and transformation, data, sharing, money, mass and capacity. Students also accepted the challenge to solve maths problems. We are so proud of everything they have achieved in Maths this year!

Preps have achieved so much with their Wellbeing learning this year - completing Friendology from URStrong, moving through eight topics from Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships, and becoming acclimated to school life, values and expectations. Well done to all the Preps, and we look forward to seeing what you accomplish with your Wellbeing learning in Grade 1!

Market Day Stall

Our Prep students had a fantastic time visiting the Senior School Market! They loved exploring all the fun stalls set up by the senior students. The senior students worked hard to create and pitch their business ideas, and it was amazing to see them run their stalls so well and reach their goals.

The Prep students had a blast enjoying the treats, playing games, and even making their own slime. They especially loved the colourful hair accessories and all the fun activities!

We can’t wait for the next one!

Christmas Concert

A big thank you to all the parents and families who joined us for our wonderful School Christmas Concert! It was a lovely community event, and it was so special to see everyone come together to celebrate the season.

The students should be incredibly proud of their performance. They worked so hard on their songs and dances, and it really showed! Their energy and enthusiasm made the concert truly magical, and we couldn't be more proud of their efforts.

Thank you again for your support in making this event a success. We are so grateful for the amazing school community we have, and we look forward to many more celebrations together in the future!

Junior Athletics

Our Junior Athletics Day was a huge success, with our students braving the heat and showing incredible sportsmanship throughout the day! It was fantastic to see all the children participating with such enthusiasm and determination.

The students took part in a variety of events, including relays with hurdles, shot put, and running. Each child worked hard to achieve their personal best, and many were thrilled to earn a ribbon for their efforts. It was inspiring to see them cheering each other on and celebrating everyone's achievements.

A big congratulations to all the students for their dedication and teamwork. We're so proud of how they performed and the positive attitude they brought to the day. Thank you to everyone who supported the event, making it a memorable and fun experience for all!
