Year 1 Update

It has been encouraging to see how confidently our Year 1 students have settled into their daily routines. They have been learning to transition smoothly between activities and follow classroom expectations with calm and respectful behaviour. They are also able to complete tasks with increasing independence. We are proud of the positive and settled start they have made to the year!
