National Day Against Bullying 

The National Day of Action Against Bullying and Violence is a special day where students, teachers, and schools across Australia come together to say "no" to bullying. It’s a day to learn about what bullying is, how to stand up for ourselves and others in safe ways, and how to make our school a kinder, safer place for everyone. We wear orange to show we care and to remind everyone that every student deserves to feel happy and safe at school.

Body Kindness Day 

Body Kindness Day is all about being kind to our bodies and feeling good about who we are. It’s supported by the Butterfly Foundation, which helps people learn to love and respect their bodies, no matter what they look like. On this day, we talk about positive body image, how to take care of ourselves, and how to be kind to others too. It’s a great reminder that every body is a good body, and we should treat ourselves with care, confidence, and kindness.

House Athletics Carnival

The House Athletics Carnival is one of the most exciting days of the school year! It’s when students from all year levels compete in running, jumping, and throwing events—like sprints, relays, long jump, high jump, and discus. Everyone is part of a house team, and we earn points for our house by participating and doing our best.

Come along, have a go, and show your house spirit! Every point counts and your effort matters. Whether you’re running, jumping, throwing or cheering, you can help your house succeed. Let’s make it a day to remember! 
Friday 19th Sept

Footy Colours Day 

Footy Colours Day is a fun and exciting day where students and teachers come to school dressed in the colours of their favourite footy team, AFL, NRL, soccer, or any sport they love! It’s a time to celebrate team spirit, sportsmanship, and our love for the game.

Dress in your favourite AFL, NRL, soccer or any sport code.

Plastic Free July & August

Plastic Free July is a time when people all around the world try to use less plastic to help take care of our planet. At school, we learn how single-use plastics, like straws, wrappers, and bags, can harm our oceans, animals, and environment. By saying “no” to plastic and choosing reusable items like drink bottles, containers, and bags, we can make a big difference. Plastic Free July reminds us that small changes in our everyday choices can help create a cleaner, greener world for everyone!
