🧺 A Very Special Teddy Bears’ Picnic

Our Defence Mentor, Deb, recently hosted a delightful Teddy Bears’ Picnic in the Defence Classroom for our Defence students.

Students enjoyed a fun and creative experience as they made their own “teacup” treats using marshmallows, biscuits and lollies—perfect to share alongside their teddy bears.

Following their picnic creations, the children spent time connecting and enjoying a range of activities including chess, foosball and drawing, all while making sure their teddy bears were very well looked after!

This special event provided a wonderful opportunity for students to relax, connect and enjoy time together in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Congratulations, Ayla

As part of the Defence Schools Mentor program partnered with Port Adelaide football Community Program selected Defence students  are given the unique opportunity to represent their school in a very special way.

This year, we are incredibly proud to share that Ayla S has been chosen to be involved in the  Guard of Honour at the ANZAC Round AFL match between Port Adelaide and Geelong.

This is a wonderful honour and a meaningful experience, recognising both service and community. Ayala will represent our school alongside other Defence students in a moment that reflects respect, pride, and remembrance.

That's a wrap on Defence News Update from Deb Thompson!
