Term 2 In Year 6

Hello everyone, and welcome to Term 2!

It’s been fantastic seeing our 5/6 students continue to grow and thrive since the start of the year. They’ve settled into routines, built strong friendships, and embraced new challenges with enthusiasm. I’m especially proud of the way they continue to demonstrate our school values of RESPECT, CARE, KINDNESS & PERSONAL BEST in everything they do.

As we step into another exciting term, we look forward to seeing their confidence and skills develop even further. If you haven’t had the chance to visit our classroom yet, we would love to connect with you! 

Here’s to another wonderful term ahead!

Warm regards, 

Mr. Thomson, Mr. Whitehead & Mr. Hancock
