Independence Centre

Highlight

Selamat sore Independence Centre families!

We have had a blast returning to school and getting to know our new friends in the class!

We’ve shown a lot of teamwork and bravery in the classroom from Maths games exploring place value and money to writing and presenting our SRC speeches to each other. Buddy Bonding has also been so fun as we practice inclusion and problem solving. 

We are so excited for Cyber Safety day and Senior Swimming Carnival happening next week, please read our reminders below!

Have a wonderful week, 

Kathy, Ros, Julia, Mandy, Fatima and Suzie.
