100 Days of Prep

Congratulations to our wonderful Prep students on reaching 100 Days of School! 

 

Over the past 100 days, we have watched our students grow in so many incredible ways. They have formed new friendships, settled confidently into school life and embraced each day with curiosity, kindness and enthusiasm. In just 100 days, they have grown into confident, capable learners who are proud to share their ideas, ask questions, take risks and support one another.

 

Our students have grown into readers, writers, mathematicians and inquirers. They have discovered the joy of books, become authors by creating and publishing their own stories and developed confidence in sharing their writing with others. Through rich mathematical investigations, they have explored numbers, patterns, shapes and problem-solving while learning to explain their thinking and persevere when faced with a challenge.

 

Beyond the classroom, our students have explored what it means to belong to a community, celebrate each other's strengths and care for those around them. From our excursion to Rippon Lea Estate to creating our How to Be... books, participating in school liturgies and assemblies and sharing many special celebrations together, every experience has helped our students grow in confidence, independence and compassion.

 

While we are incredibly proud of all they have learned, we are even prouder of the people they are becoming. Their kindness, resilience, curiosity and willingness to embrace new challenges have made these first 100 days truly special. We can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for our amazing Prep students.
