Ride2School Day & International Day of Happiness
On Friday 19th March, our school participated in Ride2School Day and International Day of Happiness. We had nearly every Year Prep-4 ride, scoot, skate, walk or take public transport to school! What a huge effort! The students were treated to a delicious healthy breakfast as they arrived.
Students wore bright coloured clothing to celebrate International Day of Happiness and loved listening to fun and uplifting music during the day. It was great to come together as a whole school to enjoy lunch together.
Thanks to all the teachers and students who made the day a great success!

Nature Play Space Planting
On Wednesday 24th March, the Year 5/6's battled rain, hail and shine to help plant out our Nature Play Space. We planted approximately 130 plants, including some amazing species of plants.
We will use our nature play space beginning next term to learn about native plants and the importance of having these in our school for our local wildlife. The 3/4's will soon be writing up information on all the different types of plants we planted and why they have been important to plant in our school!
A huge thank-you to Meg and Susan from the Green Team for all your hard work and dedication in organising amazing plants and for spending the day planting with us. We sure learnt a lot about how to correctly plant in order for our plants to survive at school.
Thank you also to Catholic Education Melbourne and the NGIV Victorian School Gardens Program for their valued support.
