Year 5/6 News
Learning Centre Four
Welcome to Term 1, 2026! We hope all our LC4 families enjoyed a restful holiday break and a blessed Christmas and New Year. It has been wonderful to welcome the students back and see the energy and excitement they have brought with them as we settle into our new routines.
The learning spaces have had a lovely, calm feel, with students happily reconnecting with their teachers and peers and enjoying time in their new classes. In true LC4 fashion, the children have jumped straight back into learning, showing positive attitudes and an eagerness to engage across all subject areas.
We are incredibly proud of the way students have started the year and are looking forward to the many exciting learning opportunities ahead this term. Congratulations to all our LC4 students on such a successful and settled start to the 2026 school year!
