ANZAC day assembly

On Friday 24th April, we held an ANZAC Day assembly with special community member Brendan B, an Australian Air Force veteran. We shared with the students the importance of mateship, endurance and courage. Courage is one of our school values, and ANZAC Day reminds us that courage can be shown in many ways, standing up for others, trying new things, persevering through challenges and doing what is right even when it is difficult. Our student leaders led the assembly with confidence and pride, and all students showed great respect through their attentive listening and thoughtful participation. It was a terrific opportunity for our school community to reflect, remember and honour those who have served our country.

Open Morning and Cultural Diversity Day

We look forward to welcoming families to our Open Morning on Tuesday 19 May from 9am until 10am as a part of Education Week.

You are also invited to attend our special whole school Diversity Day celebration on Thursday 21 May. This is a highlight of the school calendar and reflects our commitment to international mindedness as an IB PYP school. It is an opportunity for us to celebrate the rich diversity within our school and support students to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of different cultures and identities.

Please refer to the Compass news item which invites families to contribute to the day by completing the “Our Identity.” activity. This activity encourages students to share aspects of their cultural background, what they feel connected to, and something special about their culture - such as traditions, food, clothing, stories, songs or experiences.
