Camp/Campamento
Camp was very successful and students, as well as, teachers gained so much from the experience.
The water was definitely a talking point, however, we are pleased to report all students kept hydrated.
Between flying high and challenging themselves students demonstrated so many of our Values and Key Stones.
Photos on SeeSaw for your enjoyment.

The Builders Model
The Builders is a rotational model that provides the students the opportunity to explore a range of applied learning activities in both Mathematics and Literacy. During the Builders, students work collaboratively and independently, focusing on whole group learning goals and their own independent learning goals. Students independent learning goals can be found on SeeSaw.
