Murray Life Adventure

Murray Life Adventures

We had a fantastic time with all the activities, it was great to have so much fun together.

The zip line was really high and it took a lot of courage for us to climb up the stairs, get hooked up and step off the top platform. 

The giant swing was kind of scary but we tackled it with confidence, lots of people screamed as they swung back and forth over the little lake.

Everyone had so much fun canoeing. It was really tricky working out how to go around the islands, and it was funny to watch the groups who had to pick up the rubber duckies. 

Archery was very difficult but it was fun. Some of us even popped the balloons that were on the hay bales and got a prize.

It was great watching everyone work together to complete the obstacle course - team work was the key to finishing the course, especially when some of the beams and ropes kept on moving.

The rock climbing wall was really high too. There were 3 different challenges that we could try, some people even had a go at the extreme wall. Some students made it to the top and rang the bell to let everyone know they were successful.

It was a really great day, and we really enjoyed all the challenges and getting to hang out with our friends.

AUSLAN

Auslan News

This term, students across the school have enjoyed consolidating their Auslan learning from throughout the year. They have revisited key topics such as greetings, family, colours, and pets, and have continued to build confidence in using handshapes, facial expressions and movement to communicate meaning.

As we move toward the festive season, students have also been learning Auslan signs related to celebrations, including a range of Christmas vocabulary. A highlight has been learning a special Auslan song that they will proudly perform at our End-of-Year Showcase on 10 December 2025. We look forward to sharing their hard work and expressive signing with our school community!
