Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal on Thursday the 2nd April. Last Day Of Term. 

Transcript of Raffaela's Good Friday Appeal speech from Monday's Assembly.

Hi my name is Raffi, I'm here to talk to you about the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal. Some of you might have been to the hospital before but if you haven't, I want you to know that the workers put in all of their effort to look after kids in need.

In 2025, the Good Friday Appeal raised almost $24 million, which goes towards undertaking groundbreaking research and buying brand new equipment to treat and look after sick children.

Now I want us to repay the favour to the hospital and their workers. 

To raise money for the Appeal, there will be a free dress day on Thursday the 2nd of April, the last day of term 1. 

Teachers can join in too. Your parents don't need to buy something new, come in whatever you already have that makes you comfortable, even including your pyjamas.

All you need to do is bring in a gold coin donation. Please give your money to your teachers and make sure to remember this money is raising funds for a great cause that contributes so much to children and our broader community.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Year 3 - Diversity Project

On Friday 3C and 3J created a beautiful artwork celebrating Harmony Day and Diversity Week. After learning about Harmony Day and reading Mem Fox’s 'I Am Australian Too', each student created an individual artwork that represented themselves and their uniqueness.

Year 6 – Behind the News Research Project

Our Year 6 students have been busy becoming young journalists this week. They’ve been diving into current world events by analysing stories from the Behind The News kids’ news channel. Using their research, they have created engaging, informative posters that explain global issues in ways that are clear, accurate and accessible for their peers.

Students also took part in some fantastic peer assessment, offering thoughtful feedback to help each other refine and strengthen their work. It was wonderful to see them collaborating so respectfully and taking real pride in improving their communication skills.

Their posters show a strong understanding of how news shapes our world and how young people can stay informed.
