What a Wonderful Term 2 We've Had!
Term 2 has been filled with plenty of learning, fun, and memorable experiences for our students.
Throughout the term, students have enjoyed a wide range of activities both in and out of the classroom, providing opportunities to learn new skills, work together, and celebrate their achievements.

Flavour Lab Showcase

Working collaboratively, students designed their own Asian-inspired restaurants and shared their ideas with families and visitors. It was wonderful to see students confidently presenting their learning and celebrating the creativity and teamwork that made the project such a success.
International Day of Play
A day that recognises every child's right to play and the vital role play has in learning, wellbeing, creativity, inclusion and development. Our students embraced the opportunity to explore, create and collaborate through unstructured play experiences. From building tents and hammocks, creating swings, cooking imaginative creations in the mud kitchen, and engaging in games and challenges, students demonstrated incredible problem-solving and communication
First Aid in Schools Program
Students have enjoyed taking part in the First Aid in Schools Program delivered by St John Ambulance Australia. Through practical, hands-on sessions, they have been learning valuable first aid skills and how to respond safely in emergency situations. We have loved seeing their enthusiasm as they develop these important life skills.
Sewing for Sustainability
Our Year 5/6 students enjoyed a hands-on sewing session with Sonia, our Library Teacher. As part of a sustainability project, students learned how old school uniforms can be repurposed, developing practical skills while exploring ways to reduce waste and care for the environment.
Growing Great Ideas
Year 5/6 students explored the key elements of a successful kitchen garden before designing and creating their own garden models. It was wonderful to see their creativity, problem-solving skills, and learning come to life.
Music in Action
Students have been enjoying a range of musical opportunities this term. Our "Green Boys" have been sharing their talents through Band Club, while students in Room 1407 have been developing their ukulele skills and growing in confidence as musicians.
Cyclone-Proof Creations
As part of a Design Lab project, students in Rooms 1404 and 1405 investigated how cyclones affect communities before designing and constructing their own cyclone-proof houses. Their creations were tested against a simulated cyclone, making for an engaging and hands-on learning experience.
From Caterpillars to Butterflies
Room 1305 has been fascinated by the life cycle of butterflies, carefully observing their caterpillars as they grew and changed. The excitement was contagious when the butterflies finally emerged, and students proudly named them Strawberry, Bluey, and Lillana.
National Simultaneous Storytime
Our students joined millions of children across Australia to read Luna Roo as part of National Simultaneous Storytime! Our Reception students in 1303 and 1304 created Luna Roo headbands, soccer goals and completed themed activities, having so much fun bringing the story to life while building creativity, teamwork, fine motor and literacy skills along the way.
Great to see many smiles, imagination and a shared love of reading across our classrooms.
Learning Through Creativity
Our Year 1/2 students have been busy bringing stories to life through creativity, teamwork and imagination! Students proudly created their own soccer goals and puppets inspired by the story, putting so much effort and enthusiasm into every detail. From designing and building to sharing their ideas with others, it was wonderful to see their excitement and creativity shine. We love seeing our students so engaged, confident and proud of their learning!
