Prep Transition Session

Today, we welcomed 60 of the newest members of our school community — and their parents — for their first transition session. The students settled beautifully into four Prep classes and participated in some “get to know you” games and a literacy lesson using The Rainbow Fish as inspiration. The story helped highlight the key messages we hope all our students continue to develop:

• Empathy – understanding how others feel and recognising that kindness builds relationships.
• Sharing and cooperation – essential skills for forming positive peer relationships in the early years of learning.
• Self-awareness – learning that happiness often comes from how we treat others, not from what we have.
• Inclusion – valuing everyone’s uniqueness and finding joy in being part of a caring community.

The students were supported by our Grade 6 School Captains, Anton and Ella, along with our Prep Captains, Riley, Emily, Isaiah, Alex A, Marnie, Andreas, Missy and Sebastian who all demonstrated our school values — particularly kindness and respect — in their interactions with our new students.

Grandparents and Special Persons Morning

Last Friday, we were delighted to welcome grandparents and special friends to our annual Grandparents and Special Persons Day. It was wonderful to see so many visitors in our school, sharing the day with their grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

The morning began with a performance by members of the TPS student band. These dedicated musicians give up their lunchtimes to rehearse together, and their commitment was clear in a performance our guests thoroughly enjoyed.

We hope our visitors loved seeing our students in action and experiencing the vibrant learning taking place in classrooms across the school. Thank you to everyone who took the time to join us and make the day so special.
