Share and Learn
As part of our Inquiry Unit this term, prep classes are exploring Australia's cultural diversity and celebrating our similarities and differences.
Last week Prep SM explored Russian culture. Students were very curious to hear about traditional celebrations, food and clothing. Many pictures and Russian items were displayed for discussion. What a beautiful experience!
SCHOOL PRODUCTION
Greenhills Primary School is proud to present The Jungle Book, a whole school musical production based on Kipling’s famous classic. Raised by a family of wolves since birth, Mowgli must leave the only home they’ve ever known when the fearsome tiger Shere Khan unleashes his mighty roar. Guided by a no-nonsense panther and a free-spirited bear, the young child meets an array of jungle animals. Along the way, Mowgli learns valuable life lessons as their epic journey of self-discovery leads to fun and adventure.
