GRADE 2

As the Grade 2 students began their PAT testing, a group of Grade 6 students came down to support them with their computer skills. They assisted with setting up laptops and helped read some of the more challenging words in the Math's assessments. The Grade 6 students were incredibly supportive, patient, and helpful throughout the process. The Grade 2 students greatly appreciated their assistance, and it was wonderful to see such positive collaboration and leadership across year levels.

GRADE 3 EXCURSION  

Last Friday 12th June, our Grade 3 students embarked on an exciting excursion to Sovereign Hill in Ballarat. The day was filled with hands-on learning and adventure as the children explored the fascinating outdoor museum, stepping back in time to the 1850’s. A highlight for many was trying their luck at gold panning, with a few lucky students even finding tiny specks of gold! The Red Hill Mine tour took them underground to experience the life of a miner in the gold rush era, while a visit to the famous Lolly shop was a sweet treat that brought big smiles all around. What an amazing day!

My favourite part of our Sovereign Hill excursion was candle making and the lollies because you were dipping the candle into wax and the lollies tasted delicious. (Maeve)
