Term 3 Wrap-Up: A Term of Growth and Celebration!

As we wrap up Term 3, it's the perfect time to reflect on the incredible achievements of our students. This term, there’s been a strong focus on working towards academic goals, with many students showing fantastic growth in literacy, numeracy, and across other key learning areas. It's been wonderful to see their hard work and dedication paying off!

We’ve also seen significant improvements in behaviour, with students consistently showing respect, responsibility, and teamwork both in and out of the classroom. These efforts will be recognised with a PBL level reward movie day, celebrating the positive choices made throughout the term. Students will receive an invitation this week.

A big highlight was our major Ballarat excursion, where students explored gold rush history firsthand—bringing their classroom learning to life. See photos in this newsletter.

The whole school disco added a fun and energetic end to the term, with lots of dancing, smiles, and great memories made. This was also a PBL reward for all students. There are photos included in this newsletter.

Congratulations to all students on a successful Term 3—bring on Term 4!

Here is an overview of our term in pictures.

Kindergarten Transition Day 1

What a wonderful start to our kindergarten journey! Today, our young learners took part in a fun-filled half day focused on building fine motor skills and exploring friendship through the beloved story The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. Children enjoyed hands-on activities like cutting, gluing, and coloring their very own rainbow fish, all while practicing important fine motor movements. We also had thoughtful conversations about sharing and kindness—just like the Rainbow Fish himself. We’re so proud of how well everyone settled in and can’t wait for more learning and laughter ahead!
