Number Fun in Prep!

Our Prep students have been busy little mathematicians! They had a fantastic time working together in groups to match number names, numerals and ten frames. It was wonderful to see their teamwork, growing number knowledge and enthusiasm as they explored numbers in a hands-on way. What impressive learning from our youngest learners! We are so proud of their efforts!

Jogging Club

Our Jogging Club has been enjoying getting active and building fitness together! Students have the opportunity to run, challenge themselves and have fun with their friends in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Jogging Club runs on Monday lunchtimes during the first half of lunch and Friday mornings from 8:15–8:45 am. Everyone is welcome to come along, get moving and enjoy being active! At the moment, we have been running on the basketball courts while we wait for the swooping plovers on the oval to settle down. We look forward to returning to the oval as soon as it is safe to do so.

A big well done to everyone who has been coming along and getting involved. Keep up the great work, runners! - Mr Klan

Caleb Kidney secured an impressive 2nd place in the 800m, and joined Logan Jones and Jett Taylor in the 4 x 100m relay team, which finished 4th. Logan also placed 7th in discus, while Quinn Manneken finished 8th in the same event. Lydia Teramoto placed 4th in hurdles, and Ariella Welch finished 8th in triple jump.
