Lightning Premiership
Congratulations to our amazing Grade 5/6 students for their outstanding efforts at the Summer Sport Lightning Premiership! Everyone played with determination, teamwork, and fantastic sportsmanship, making our school proud. A special shoutout to our boys' tennis and teeball teams, who won their competitions and will now progress to the Kingston Division later this year—what an achievement! Whether on the field or the court, our students showed resilience and a great team spirit. Well done to all participants for giving their best effort and representing our school so positively.
Sustainability Leaders
This week, the sustainability leaders attended a workshop at Kingston Heath Primary School. We learnt about saving the ocean, different animals and beach combing. We were shown a few activities to introduce to the 1/2s in a few weeks time and we got some experience in teaching younger students.
Sustainability Leaders: Lachlan, Christian, Emma and Joselyn
