Year 1 Historical Walk

On Wednesday the 5 June, the Year 1s went for a walking excursion around Port Melbourne. We have been learning about historical landmarks in Port Melbourne during our Inquiry unit. We looked at the lighthouses, the pier and then had a ball playing in the sand with all our friends. Thank you to the parents who came with us to help out. It was a lovely winter's day and everyone had a ball!

Carlton Respects, Road to Respect

Our senior students participated in the Carlton Respects, Road to Respect program. The program is split into four sessions covering the topics of managing emotions, bullying and help seeking, being a buddy and stereotypes, and key values and respect. 

Students participated in the program, sharing their knowledge and interacting with the program coordinators. The program also encourages team working skills, engaging students in a number of small group activities.
