Book Week

One of our Favourite Weeks of the Year – Book Week!

Book Week is always a highlight on our school calendar, and this year was no exception! It was a fantastic celebration of stories, imagination, and the joy of reading.

Students were lucky to enjoy inspiring sessions with two incredible visiting authors.

• Our Prep to Year 2 students were captivated by the delightful Jane Godwin, who shared her stories and writing journey.
• Meanwhile, Years 3 to 6 were treated to an exciting interactive session with George Ivanoff, who took them on a thrilling “choose your own adventure” storytelling experience.

Of course, no Book Week would be complete without our much-loved Book Week Parade – and this year’s was as vibrant and joyful as ever! The creativity on display was simply amazing.

A huge thank you to Miss Mason for her hard work and dedication in putting together such a magical week. We can’t wait for next year!

Senior Production

What a spectacular night! Last week, our 2025 Senior Production lit up the stage with energy, talent, and true Aussie spirit. With the theme “An Australian Musical Journey,” students from Years 4 to 6 took us on a toe-tapping ride through musical performances that celebrated our culture and creativity.

Each class delivered a unique performance, showcasing their hard work, teamwork, and love for the arts. The experience of performing on stage, under lights, and singing alongside classmates is a important part of our Performing Arts Program – and it’s easy to see why!

A huge thank you goes to our brilliant Performing Arts teacher, Mr Slater, for writing, orchestrating, and directing this unforgettable show, with wonderful support from Mrs Roughton. Your vision and passion made it all possible.

And to our incredible Year 4-6 students – thank you for lighting up the stage with such enthusiasm, confidence, and joy. You made us all proud!

We can’t wait to do it all again when our Junior Production hits the stage in early Term 4!
