1/2M are working hard during their morning routine explicit instruction session.

We explored the power of Belly Breathing across the school last week as we settled into our new classrooms. Try it at home...

Last week, we celebrated a special milestone for our Year 6 students—their Hat Ceremony! This hat is more than just a symbol; it represents the high expectations we hold for our Year 6 students—to be kind, inclusive, and to always strive for their best.

Our Kinder students eating their very first school lunch together.

Kinder were very excited to have their first visit to the big playground today, including a play on the equipment.

Kinder have enjoyed meeting new friends and sharing fun activities this week.

We are preparing some exciting photo backgrounds for Kinder’s first day of school tomorrow. 🩵
