We are thrilled to share that our recent school concert was a huge success! Our students shone brightly on stage, delighting families and friends with their incredible performances. It was truly a celebration of their hard work and creativity.

Grandparents Day was another heartwarming event, filled with laughter, hugs, and cherished memories as grandparents joined us to share in the special day. Meanwhile, Book Day brought the joy of reading alive, with students and staff embracing their favourite stories and characters, sparking imaginations throughout the school.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making these events so memorable. We hope you all enjoy a well-deserved and relaxing holiday break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for more exciting learning adventures in Term 4!

Maths was all about angles for the last week and some colourful hands on learning took place on the footpaths outside.

We have had our annual Book Week Parade and Grandparents Day, where many students had a special visitor in our classrooms. Congratulations to Weston from 3/4H for winning our cohort's “Best Costume.” Well done to everyone on their dress up efforts, it was a HUGE turnout to the parade- thank you to our amazing community for the support!

If you were wondering who guessed the correct number of lollies in the Book Fair jar: Charlton from 3/4L guessed 329 lollies. That is only 1 lolly more than the actual 328 that were in there. Well done!

Science lessons have been a highlight for the kids this term, experimenting with different ingredients to change the state of a solid, liquid or gas. We have finished off the unit by looking at recycling, and how we can recycle different items when heat is applied.
