Specialists
In the coming weeks, students in Year 5/6 are exploring the importance of making positive health choices as part of our Health curriculum. Our focus is on preventive health measures, including:
Understanding the effects of smoking and vaping on the body
Learning how to stay Sun Smart and prevent skin damage and reduce cancer risk.
Exploring how informed decisions and personal responsibility help us stay healthy and safe.
These discussions empower students to make safe, responsible decisions that protect their health now and into the future.

If your child finishes their book, discovers that the book they chose is too difficult or is not capturing their interest, please encourage them to visit the library and choose some new reading material. They do not need to wait until their next lesson.
