May-Aussie of the Month: Zain M

"Zain demonstrates our school values everyday through his actions, words and behaviour. He constantly thinks of others and is quick to offer kind words and support to those who need it. Zain gives 100% of his attention and warmth to others to ensure they know he values and appreciates them. He takes pride in our school and works to maintain a happy environment for others. Zain’s smile lights up everyone’s day and he is a genuine asset to our school. We are very proud to award Zain the May Aussie of the Month Award".

Whole School Wellbeing Day

On Thursday 20th of June all students engaged in Wellbeing day. Kids participated in mindfulness activities, coloring, puzzles, and health-based activities. Our staff cooked egg and bacon sandwiches as part of the day. The kids loved it and some even commented that it was "the best sandwich ever". Further to this, all of our students looked warm and cozy with their colourful PJ’s as part of the day.

Camp-The Summit

Our kids had an awesome time at 'The Summit' Camp. They engaged in adventurous tasks and challenged themselves out of their comfort zone. The feedback was that it had been one of the best camps attended by students and staff. A special thanks to Ms Waldron for leading the camp and bringing back everyone safely. A big thanks to Mr D, Ms P, Ms Dyt, Ms Boddy, Ms Augustus, Ms Vogel, Mr Venning and Mr Shaw for going above and beyond on the 3 days/nights. You guys are all legends.
