Buddy lunch

On Monday the 16th of December, the Grade 1's will be joining their Grade 6 buddies for lunch before they graduate. This will be a lovely opportunity to reminisce about the fun they have shared over the last two years and wish their buddies all the best in their new adventures at high school. 

Market Day

Grade 1 students had so much fun attending the Market Day last week! They had a fantastic time visiting all the different stalls, enjoying a range of sweets and treats, playing games, making slime and getting their hair sprayed in bright colours! 

Well done to the Grade 5 students and teachers for working so hard to create such a fun day for our whole school!

Christmas Concert 

Congratulations to all of our Grade 1 students for their amazing performance at our Christmas Concert last week. Whilst the weather was determined to test our resilience, we were so proud of how the Grade 1s persevered through the heat to put on an amazing performance. They worked so hard on their song and dance in all of our rehearsals leading up to the concert and I think we can all agree that their performance was sensational!

Thank you to all of the parents, families and friends who braved the heat and joined us for the concert. Seeing those gorgeous smiling faces on stage is why the Christmas Concert is one of our favourite community events each year!

Junior School Athletics Day

Last Friday, our Grade 1 students participated in the much-anticipated Junior School Athletics Day, and what an incredible day it was! Whilst participating in a range of events including running, hurdles, shot put and relays, our young athletes showed amazing energy, teamwork, and determination. It was wonderful to see their excitement as they cheered on their classmates and gave every event their best effort. We were especially proud of how they supported one another, celebrated victories, and demonstrated great sportsmanship throughout the event.

A big thank you to the families who came along to cheer the students on and to the Grade 5 and 6 students who supported the successful running of the day.

Student of the Week

Congratulations to our Grade 1 award winners from last week.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

As we wrap up the school year, we wanted to take a moment to say congratulations to our Grade 1 students for all their hard work and accomplishments! It has been such a joy to see their growth, enthusiasm, and bright smiles each day.

A big thank you to all of our families for your support and partnership. Whether it’s reading take home books, attending school events, or simply engaging in positive conversations with your children about their day at school, your involvement makes a big difference!

We have been so grateful to have been a part of your children's school journey this year and we cannot wait to see their continued growth and success next year in Grade 2!

We wish you all safe, joyful, and relaxing holiday season. May this time be filled with love, laughter, and special moments with your families and loved ones.

From the Grade 1 teachers,

Caillin Ibbotson, Isabella Albanese, Kayla Pepper & Rachel Ryan
