Learning & Teaching

Grade 3/4 Learning

The students in Grade 3/4 have been busy designing & making Bee Hotels using recycled materials. They researched possible designs then utilised their creative skills to build their Bee Home.

Grade One Bunnings incursion 

Our Grade One students had a fantastic time during a special incursion with Bunnings! They learned how to plant violas and took great care in potting their own. After the hands-on activity, students wrote informative reports, sharing everything they discovered about violas and how to care for them. It was a fun and educational experience that combined science, writing, and a love for gardening!

Spanish

We have been enjoying our Spanish lessons! Our junior students have used play doh to show their numeral knowledge in Spanish and the Seniors have enjoyed learning about Mexican celebrations and traditional foods.

Gymnastics at OLA

Over the past four weeks, our students in Grades 1–6 have been jumping, balancing, rolling and flipping their way through a fantastic gymnastics incursion run by Highett Youth Club. Meanwhile, our energetic Prep students enjoyed their own tailored sessions.
