Level 4: Connect
Welcome:
Well, with only a week to go we are certainly nearing the end of Level 4. We would like to thank you all for your incredible support of your child's learning journey this year. As we have said many times this year, our Level 4 students really are a brilliant cohort. Throughout the year, they have shown such diligence, kindness, friendship and respect to name but a few of their qualities.
It has been a pleasure to have worked with each and every one of these wonderful children over the past year. And what a year it has been! Please enjoy reading and viewing some of the 2024 highlights from some of our Level 4 students below:

Alex A - I have had so many highlights this year but my best ones were, going on the giant swing with my friends and saying that our friends had been in the shower for a VERY long time even though they had been in it for 15 seconds.
Henry - In house athletics, I won alot of medals. 1 first place, 2 second place, 1 third place and finally 1 fourth place. What I learnt on the day, it doesn't matter what place you get, it matters if your enjoyed it.
Freya - My highlights of 2024 was getting to be with Miss G and getting to know her. I like how and her and the other teachers give us a choice like in WIN (What I Need). Market Day, Year 4 Camp and Districts were also amazing things this year. This year 100% the best year yet.
Isla - My highlights were the colour run, participating in shot put at the athletics carnival, learning flag football in P.E, being in 4B, learning about angles and the plays we created in Performing Arts.

Mark - My highlight was when I went to camp and couldn't go to sleep for the whole night and everybody was being so funny.
James - My favourite time this year was the adventures we had on the bus on the way to camp. Toby, Sam P and I went crazy and talked about windows and bridges at one point.
Farah - The fun times at camp when I was on the giant swing. First I saw all my friends scream and I went on and my tummy was rumbling and then I dropped. It was so fun.
Talia - My hightlight is grade 4 camp at the zoo place thing. I really liked feeding the kangaroos. I enjoyed learning about biological science.
Alfie - One of my highlights this year was the giant swing because after the drop my tummy felt like it was still at the top.
Nellie - My highlight from grade 4 is camp because we got to go on the giant swing and have lots of fun with my cabin mates. People kept screaming keeping other cabins awake which was funny.
Hugh - When my friend Wyatt at camp kept waking everyone up and jumping on my bed from his bunk bed.
Isaac - Camp, the giant swing and staying up all night getting 1 hour of sleep.
Summer - I liked camp because I was in the cabin with my friends so we got to hang out and also the giant swing. I learnt more about angles.
