Reflection

The past couple of weeks have been particularly challenging. Tragic events involving young children, unsettling international news and personal struggles within our own community have made it a tough time for many. Yet, despite the sadness, there have been countless moments of gratitude and hope that have brought smiles to our faces. We’ve been deeply moved by the random acts of kindness from our students, the thoughtful emails, words of encouragement and kindness from our parents and the overwhelming sense of support we’ve felt throughout. In times like these, we are reminded how fortunate we are to be part of such a caring, compassionate school community.

Special Events

Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues. International Men's Day, also held in November, provides an opportunity to take part in global conversations.

School Grounds

Thank you to everyone who has helped care for our school grounds recently. The efforts of those at the recent working bee and the work put into our new frog bog are phenomenal. A huge shout-out to one of our parents, Scott Eastwood, for staining the stage deck last weekend - what an effort. Thank you!

Japanese Cooking Class

Thank you to everyone who attended our first Japanese cooking class last weekend, and a special thanks to Junko for dedicating so much time to organizing the event. We know extra weekend commitments can be tough for busy families. However, we’d love to offer more cooking sessions potentially during the week, although finding available sessions where the kitchen is not being used by our students, is also a challenge! If you know someone with a unique cooking skill who’d be interested in leading a fun, instructional session, please reach out!
