Primary Cross Country Results 

On 16 May, the Primary Cross-Country event was full of energy, determination, and school spirit! A huge congratulations to all our runners who gave it their all on the course! 

🥇1st Place: Luther – 319 points

🥈2nd Place: Carey – 295 points

  🥉3rd Place: Wesley – 282 points

Well done to Luther for taking the top spot with an incredible team effort!  And hats off to Carey and Wesley for their strong performances and sportsmanship.  We are proud of every student who participated! 

Jocelyn Seamer Education 

It was great to have Jocelyn Seamer Education back at Burnie for another round of face-to-face instructional coaching! Teachers and learning support aides from both campuses took part in hands-on sessions, focusing on engaging and targeted literacy practices in our Year 3 & 4 classrooms. The day wrapped up with rich feedback discussions, giving staff the chance to unpack and reflect on the strategies they saw in action.
