Senior School News Yr 5/6

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 

Welcome to the 2025 school year! We are thrilled to begin this journey with your children in Year 5/6. For those who may not know us, we are Mr. Brophy and Mrs. Cua (Fridays) in 5/6BC, and Miss Perrin in 5/6P. 

 

We are excited to create a positive and engaging learning environment where students feel supported, challenged, and inspired and can’t wait for you to follow us along on this journey.

 

The first couple of weeks has been filled with energy and excitement as we settle into routines and get to know each other. Our focus has been on building strong relationships through team-building activities, collaborative challenges and class discussions. 

Students have enjoyed activities designed to develop teamwork, problem-solving skills, and a sense of belonging within our classroom community. It has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm and willingness to support one another.

Looking ahead, one of the biggest highlights of Term 1 is our Canberra Camp in Week 4 (Monday to Friday). This will be an incredible opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of Australia’s history and government whilst creating lifelong memories with their peers.
