Highlight

Selamat siang, 

 

What an incredible week it’s been in the Leadership Centre! Our Year 5/6 students launched into their guided inquiry unit, diving into the fascinating concepts of longitude and latitude. With curiosity and zest, they navigated world maps using coordinates to uncover a secret code word! An engaging start to their exploration!

 

In English, students completed their first Cold Write titled "The Accident" The Year 5/6 teachers are thoroughly enjoying reading these creative recounts, showcasing our students' vivid imaginations and storytelling skills.

 

A big congratulations to our School Captains and SRC Presidents for successfully leading their first assembly of the year! We are excited for the many inspiring assemblies yet to come.

 

Have a wonderful week, 

The Leadership Centre Teachers
