AFL CLINIC
The Grade 5 and 6 students attended an AFL clinic on Thursday, provided by students from SEDA College. It was a fun session with students moving between groups and learning a variety of skills associated with the sport. Who knows, maybe we have a few potential superstars in the making!
BOOK WEEK
Monday saw the beginning of Book Week 2024 and what a beginning it was! It was fantastic to see so many of the students embrace the day and dress up as characters from their favourite books. There were so many amazzing costumes and we thank you all for helping your children prepare for the day!
YEAR 6 EXCURSION
As part of our unit on Media, Grade 6 students have an upcoming excursion to the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) at Federation Square. Details are now available on Compass for payment and permission.
