Parents, carers, grandparents and special friends are invited to visit their child’s classroom, participate in classroom activities, and bring along a morning snack to enjoy together in their classrooms. All visitors are to come to the Bundoora Office area and will be directed to the appropriate section.

7/8 Camp 

Last week our 7/8 students and staff went to Toolangi Camp. It was a huge success with lots of memories made for all! 

 

Whilst on camp the students participated in many adventure activities from the Flying Fox and Possum Glider. Students and staff also put their problem-solving skills to practise whilst building a hut and attempting Archery. At nights there was an open fire and dancing at the Disco. 

 

Thank you to Rachel and the 7/8 team for organising such a successful camp 😊 

 

 

Take care,
