Spotlight on learning

Our Kindergarten, Stage 1 and Stage 2 students have been busy developing their writing skills! From creating imaginative sentences and entertaining narratives to presenting convincing arguments, these writing samples demonstrate the wonderful growth taking place across our classrooms. Students are learning to organise their ideas, use descriptive language and write with increasing detail and confidence. We are incredibly proud of our talented young authors! ✏️📚🐝

PACER Rebate - Canberra Camp

Students in Stage 3 will soon be undertaking an education tour of the national capital. Students will be given the opportunity to participate in a variety of educational programs with a focus on Australia’s history, culture, heritage, and democracy. The Australian Government recognises the importance of all young Australians being able to visit the national capital as part of their Civics and Citizenship education. To assist families in meeting the cost of the excursion the Australian Government is contributing funding to our school in the amount of $30 per student under the Parliament and Civics Education Rebate program towards those costs. The rebate is paid directly to the school upon completion of the excursion.
