New - Bridie's Baby Shower

What a special day celebrating Bridie, as she heads off on maternity leave. We are so excited to welcome Bridie & Tyson's baby into our St. Mels Community. 

Bridie & the children had so much fun, playing games, picking baby names, and cooking yummy pizza. 

Thank you to everyone who made this joyful day happen.

Prep News

Our Prep unit has had a very busy term with so many bus trips and excursions. 

We have had a wonderful time learning acrobatic skills at Jets Gym; improved out of sight through our swimming lessons; laughed hilariously at the 'Wolfgang and the Magical Musical Circus' show; and learnt how to put our own seatbelts on, on the multiple bus trips we made.

We have also been learning more about prayer, and we learnt about Buddhism and the process of Mandala making, along with learning about God in nature. We made our own Mandalas and collages showing where we see God in nature. These were wonderful calming experiences as the term came to an end.

Some Joyful Quotes ~

‘Nothing without Joy’ ~ Malaguzzi
