CHICKS! CHICKS! CHICKS!

Our P-2 students recently participated in the enriching Henny Penny Chick Program. This hands-on educational initiative allowed our young learners to witness the miracle of life as they nurtured and cared for adorable chicks.

Throughout the program, students learnt how to be gentle when holding the chicks and what these animals needed to survived. This experiential learning not only deepened their understanding of life cycles but also instilled crucial values of empathy and compassion.

As the program reached its culmination, the bonds formed were evident as the chicks were joyfully adopted into three loving families within our school community. These feathered friends have not only found new homes but have also left an indelible mark on the hearts of our students.

The Henny Penny Chick Program stands as a testament to the power of hands-on education in fostering a love for animals and nurturing essential life skills. It has left a lasting impression on our young learners, reminding them of the beauty and responsibility that come with caring for living beings.

P-2 Students Have a Dino-mite Time at Melbourne Museum!

Our P-2 students recently had a blast exploring the world of dinosaurs at the Melbourne Museum. With their fantastic behaviour, contagious excitement, and the support of amazing volunteers, the trip was a true success that made the P-2 teachers very proud! 

The "Triceratops: Fate of the Dinosaurs" exhibit transported them back in time, offering an in-depth look at the life and times of this fascinating creature. One of the undeniable highlights of the day was encountering Horridus the Triceratops, the most complete real dinosaur in Australia. The sheer size and majesty of this ancient giant left our students in awe.

The day was a true reflection of the magical blend of education and fun. Our P-2 students immersed themselves in the mysteries of the past, and their joy was infectious. By the time the bus ride home came about, we had a bus full of tired yet contented students. It was, without a doubt, a wonderful day filled with learning, laughter, and boundless curiosity.
