Inquiry

During our ‘Sustainable World’ unit, students will create a poster that promotes sustainability in their school and home. Students have spent the term learning about the many ways they can help the environment by making changes in their school and home.

We have had an amazing year, filled with lots of learning. Our Preps have grown academically and socially. As teachers we have loved watching them form friendships and start to mix with the wider school community. We are proud to usher them into Grade One and wish them all the best. Happy holidays and enjoy your break.
