Since returning to school Stage 1 students have been working hard in maths lessons. They have been doing some hard thinking using different materials to learn about different aspects of Length.
We have been using a third object to measure and compare different lengths.
To help the students understand their learning goal of ‘being respectful’ we did some hands-on learning about taking care of the school environment.
We have made a short movie to share with you all about how we know that we have been successful:
This term in drama we have been focusing on using words and actions to help us share a message and retell the Bible stories we have been learning about… can you guess the Bible story our freeze frames are about?

On Tuesday the 11th of November we paused to pay respect and join together in prayer to remember the service and sacrifice of our veterans and people currently serving! It was beautiful to come together in our church to not only remember but pray for all those affected by war, including those experiencing war now. Thanks to all our students and staff who prepared for and participated in our liturgy. Thanks also to those parents, carers and friends who were also able to join us. ππΊππΊππΊππΊππΊ

School TV SPECIAL REPORT: Embracing Change & New Beginnings Change is a natural part of growing up. Whether it's the start of a new school year, moving between year levels, or stepping beyond the school gates for the final time, each transition brings a mix of emotions, presenting both opportunities and challenges. These shifts call on young people to adjust to new routines, navigate unfamiliar environments and develop emotional flexibility. While some may embrace these changes, others may find the disruption unsettling and struggle with the loss of predictability. Research shows that periods of transition are often linked to heightened anxiety, reduced academic engagement and changes in peer relationships. For families, these periods can also bring added stress. Recognising the emotional and psychological impact of change helps us respond more effectively and supportively. While change can feel daunting, it also offers valuable opportunities for young people to learn and grow. By normalising uncertainty and encouraging open conversations, we help young people face new beginnings with curiosity rather than fear. When children are surrounded by guidance, encouragement and consistent structure, they're far better equipped to manage life's transitions with confidence and resilience.

Last week our Year 3 students completed the entire writing process, moving from planning, drafting, editing, re-drafting, editing, all the way through to publishing!! They composed and published stories inspired by Dreamtime narratives they have read during their learning time. Year 3 were then so excited and proud to share their stories with Kindergarten. What a wonderful achievement. ππππππππππππ

As part of Year 5βs Science unit, students explored how engineers and inventors use creativity and problem-solving to make everyday life better. Their learning intention was: We are learning how to use design processes to explore opportunities and develop effective solutions. Given only rubber bands, marbles, and a piece of fabric, students worked collaboratively to design inventions that could help people stay cool on hot summer days. From hats and bonnets to neck protectors, and even a handheld fan weighted down by marbles, our young designers showed innovation, teamwork, and critical thinking. Proving that even simple materials can inspire amazing solutions! ππππππππ
