We sharpened problem-solving skills, explored angles, and transformed shapes with grit and teamwork.

👩‍🎓 👨‍🎓 Students Greatest Hits:

Chloe 5W: The Wild Robot was an interesting book and it was great to see it as a film. Having the surfing experience on camp and spending time with friends was another great highlight.
Oli 5W: Camp was a highlight, as I got to experience surfing for the first time and spend time with my friends.
Khai 5JT: My greatest hit would probably be either camp or the battle ball tournament. The camp food was some of the best I have had and while my room was cramped, the activities made up for it. Surfing was really fun and because the wetsuits kept us warm we didn’t get hypothermia. My favourite activity was the giant swing because I had a lot of dopamine rushing to my brain and I loved it A LOT!
Harsheen 5JT: Camp was my favourite because I really enjoyed the cabins and how we had our own bathroom. It was all my friends in one space. The food was amazing, especially the dessert. The surfing was brilliant and new to me. The games in the rec room was a brilliant way to continue the fun, my favourite activities were the table tennis and the pool table.
Xavier 5A: The battleball tournament was the highlight of my term as it was super fun, very tough and some games were incredibly close to call. We were all sweating by the end because we all tried our hardest. Being in a team with people from both year 5 and year 6 was a great experience!
Matthew 5A: The Wild Robot movie was a great movie regardless of if you hadn’t read the book. The movie was different as well, so you didn’t have to have read the book and that made it exciting as you didn’t always know what was coming.
Suhani 5O: It would probably be camp for me because I really enjoyed my cabin because there were new friends in there to get to know which was really fun. Surfing was a new experience and I was really surprised and happy with myself when I was able to stand up on the board.
Callum 5O: The inclusiveness on camp was my highlight. I was in a group with people who don’t usually work together and our group just really got around each other and supported each other which made the experience amazing. I also REALLY loved surfing and I am now going to go pro!

As the final notes of the year fade, we’re reflecting on a Level 5 track list full of resilience, leadership, and camaraderie. As we pass the mic to Level 6, we know our students will hit even bigger milestones. 🎤✨

Here’s to more incredible moments ahead—stay tuned for more hits in 2025! 🎶

A fond farewell from your Level 5 teachers,

Ms Trish, Mrs James, Mr O’Bryan, Mr Anderson and Ms Wallis

We will miss you!
