Congratulations to our incredible preps for reaching an amazing milestone of 100 days of school! We are so proud of what you have achieved in this time, what a wonderful group of learners. Thank you to the prep parents for helping the preps dress up as their 100 year old selves, they looked fantastic. We cannot wait to see what these kids can achieve in their next 100 days 🎉🌟🎈🌈☀️
Production
There has been such a joyful atmosphere over the past two weeks as we celebrated the success of our production 'Aladdin Trouble'. Students should be incredibly proud of the enormous amount of work they put in leading up to the show, and for the positive attitude and team spirit that they displayed on all three performance nights.

Year 5 & 6
In weeks 5 and 6, all Grade 5/6 students will be participating in two ‘Talk Money’ seminars run by the Ecstra Foundation. Talk Money with Ecstra Foundation is designed to help Australian students learn money lessons for life, to be confident talking about money and to make informed financial decisions. The sessions have been developed by education experts in collaboration with a financial education advisory group, providing diverse experiences, insights and feedback. The workshops and resources are evidence based and aligned to the Australian Curriculum and the National Consumer and Financial Literacy Framework. Students will attend two 1 hour sessions, the first on the 8th August, and the second in the following week, on the 17th August. They will attend in their individual classes and there is no cost to families. More information about these sessions can be found on the Talk Money website: https://talkmoney.org.au/
