Junior School Art Auction
A special feature of this year’s exhibition will be an auction of collaborative class artworks, with all money raised donated to Anglicare. Each Junior School class has worked together to create a unique artwork, bringing individual ideas and contributions into a shared piece. These artworks celebrate the creativity, connections and collective imagination of our students, offering families and friends an opportunity to take home something truly special while supporting a meaningful cause.
Auction Details
Each class’s collaborative artwork will be available to view both online and in person at the Junior School Art Exhibition. The online auction catalogue will be released two weeks prior to the auction, giving families and friends an opportunity to explore the artworks ahead of bidding. The auction will close the week following the exhibition.
All money raised through the auction will be donated to Anglicare, supporting their work in the community. We look forward to sharing these special collaborative pieces with our school community and thank you for supporting our young artists and this meaningful cause.

Traffic School
Article by Bianca Rae, Prep Teacher
As part of the Prep CCL unit, ‘Systems in Our Community Keep Us Safe’, our Prep students had the exciting opportunity to attend Essendon Traffic School and learn more about the important role road safety plays in our everyday lives.
During the experience, students explored how different systems in our community work together to keep us safe, including traffic lights, road signs, pedestrian crossings and road rules. They discovered that these systems help protect everyone who uses our roads, whether they are walking, riding or travelling in a vehicle.
Our Prep students had the opportunity to put their learning into practice, developing an understanding of how to make safe choices when crossing roads and moving around their community. They learnt about the importance of stopping, looking and listening, following road signs and being aware of their surroundings.
The visit provided a wonderful real-world connection to our classroom learning, helping students see how the systems and people within our community coincide to keep us safe.
It was fantastic to see our little learners so engaged and enthusiastic as they made connections between this unit and the world around them. Most importantly, they learnt that even as Prep students, they have an important role to play in keeping themselves and others safe.
