Dear Families,

Our students continue to be immersed in a range of purposeful activities across the past week. The 3-4 Democracy Incursion provided great knowledge and insight for our students in the level. The Foundation Nutrition Incursion was as equally engaging. For our seniors their participation in the first of two Sporting Gala days was another great day! The Year 5-6 will participate in another Sports Gala Day this Friday!
