Welcome Back!
What a fantastic start to the term we have had! Our classrooms are buzzing with excitement, our students have settled back into their learning routines and our teachers have returned feeling refreshed and ready for another wonderful term.
We hope you all enjoyed a relaxing break and had the opportunity to spend quality time with your families.
Lunch Time Clubs
At the end of last term, our Year 3 to 6 students participated in the Living Well, Learning Well student survey. This provided valuable feedback about the learning environment and student experience at our school. We were delighted to see that our students rated the school highly across most areas. One area we identified as an opportunity for growth was Student Voice.
As a result, our staff have introduced a range of optional morning tea and lunchtime clubs this term. These clubs provide students with additional choices during break times, allowing them to explore new interests, build friendships, develop skills and have greater input into how they spend their breaks. All clubs commenced this week and have already been a huge success! Our activities include:
- Creative Arts Club
- Dance Club
- Playground Games
- Chess Club
- IT Club
- Library
- Mini Vinnies
It's been wonderful to see so many students embracing these new opportunities and enjoying the variety on offer. Check out some of our lunchtime activities in action this week:
