Class Activities
White Class
2026 has gotten off to a wonderful start. We warmly welcomed Eddy, Maron and Sebby to the White Class, and they have already settled in beautifully. Frank, Isabella and Parker have been fantastic role models, kindly helping our new classmates find their way and showing them “the ropes.” It has also been wonderful to see James joining us in the mornings and having such a positive start to the year. The way the students are supporting one another has helped create a calm, welcoming, and connected classroom community.

Junior Class
The Junior Class has had a wonderful start to the year, with a strong focus on play, belonging, and learning school routines. Through play-based learning, students have been building connections with peers and staff while exploring familiar and new environments across the school. It has been lovely to see students engaging with curiosity and joy as they settle into the year ahead.

Senior West Class
Senior West have had a wonderful start to the new school year and have really enjoyed settling back into their classroom routine. It has been lovely to see students reconnect with familiar faces, engage in learning and embrace the excitement that comes with a fresh year ahead.
We are very pleased to welcome Hugh and Jenny to the Senior West class this year, as well as ESO Jo who has joined our team. To support a smooth transition back to school and to help make our learning space feel personal, welcoming and meaningful, we introduced a display titled “Things That Make Us Happy.” Each student and staff member selected something special to them and framed a picture of it, giving us a wonderful opportunity to learn more about one another and celebrate what brings us joy.
Our display includes:
Maddi: Bobby (pet dog)
Sam: artwork by his daughter
Hiroko: Poppy (pet dog)
Sue: spending time in her garden
Jo: listening to live music
Verity: spending time with her brothers
Jacob: Ivy (pet cat)
Sebastian: spending time on the swing
Nathan: playing basketball
Sammie: trees and selecting branches that shake nicely in the wind
Casey: Manu (pet dog)
Jenny: the band Blackpink
Hugh: the harvester on his family farm
This activity has sparked great conversations, strengthened connections and helped students feel a sense of belonging within the classroom. We are looking forward to building on this positive start and sharing many more meaningful learning experiences throughout the year.
