What a wonderful turnout we had for Vietnam Veterans Day! It was fantastic to see so many students, staff, veterans, families and community members come together to commemorate this important occasion.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, participated and helped make the day so meaningful. We are incredibly proud of our students and the respectful way they represented Seymour College.
Our Tuesday Defence Club sessions have been filled with fun and creativity. Students have enjoyed playing Bingo and taking part in our “Spring Has Sprung” Carry Bag Challenge, where they could draw, paint and create their own colourful spring-inspired designs.
Thursdays remain our much-loved Hot Chocolate Days, giving students a relaxed opportunity to connect, catch up and enjoy a warm treat together.
Could parents and carers please notify the Defence School Mentor as soon as possible if:
Receiving this information early allows the DSM to provide the best possible transition and wellbeing support for your child and family.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you require any assistance or support.
A very Happy Birthday to all of our Defence students celebrating their birthdays this month!
Joshua and Kheila – we hope you have fantastic birthdays filled with fun, laughter and special memories with your family and friends.
As a small birthday treat from the Defence Mentor Program, don't forget to come and collect your birthday canteen voucher to enjoy a complimentary lunch from the school canteen.
Have an amazing birthday, and we hope your year ahead is filled with happiness, success and exciting adventures!
Happy Birthday from everyone at Seymour College Defence Club! 🎂🎈🎁
