Brain Olympia and Stage 2 News
We are incredibly proud of the eight fantastic students who travelled today to St Edwards School in Tamworth to represent our school at the annual Brain Olympia competition! Showcasing their diverse talents across general knowledge, drama, public speaking, and mathematics, our team took on every challenge with enthusiasm and determination. While the academic and creative tasks were rigorous, the true heart of the day was centered around teamwork, collaboration, and having fun. Our students did a wonderful job supporting one another, thinking outside the box, and demonstrating excellent sportsmanship. Congratulations to everyone involved for representing our school so brilliantly!

Reading
We're building strong habits through Silent Sustained Reading! The class is dedicating 10 minutes after lunch each day to quiet reading, as well as practicing their focused reading skills during our visits to the library.
