As we head towards the end of the first quarter of the school year, we have had a lot of exciting events this term. I’m incredibly proud of all our students and staff for their hard work this term. Let’s continue to make the most of the time left and finish the first term strong! This term has been involved with Year 5 camp, cross country, The Art competition, innovations, winter school sports, coin race and more!
Year 5 Camp – An Adventure to Remember!
Our Year 5 students had a fantastic time at camp, exploring the outdoors and participating in team-building activities. They built lasting friendships and created unforgettable memories. A big thank you to the teachers and volunteers for making this trip possible!
