What's Happening In Primary

Term 2 Student Highlights

What an amazing term we have had in Primary! As a Primary Team, we are truly thankful for the wonderful partnership we share with each family. Throughout Term 2, we have witnessed our students grow and flourish in various aspects, and we have been delighted to share these experiences with our community.

Recently, we asked our Primary students to reflect on their highlights from Term 2. A common theme emerged: learning and friendships. It is heartening to see our students appreciate not just the major events but also the daily moments of learning and building friendships.
