At our school, every learner’s potential is our priority. We foster a culture of high expectations and equity in excellence, ensuring every student, regardless of background, has the opportunity to develop their potential.

Our school offers a range of opportunities across the 4 domains of potential: creative, intellectual, physical and social-emotional. Some examples of our offerings include:

Leadership opportunities for all students beginning in Kinder (SRC, sports captains, school captains, leadership team)
Public speaking beginning in Kinder (presenting at assembly, Lion's Club public speaking, Multicultural Perspectives Public Speaking)
Art Unit opportunities- Pulse, Schools Spectacular
Sporting opportunities- PSSA
Flexible maths groups
Differentiation in the classroom

Our offerings engage and challenge every student, including a strong focus on talent development for high potential and gifted learners.

You can learn more about high potential and gifted education at our school, and how we find high potential and support talent development on our website.

PSSA Riverina Athletics Carnival

We wish Poppy all the best as she competes at the Riveirna athletics carnival on Friday. Poppy will compete in shot put, discus and high jump.

SASS Appreciation Week

This week, we proudly celebrate SASS Appreciation Week, a special time to recognise the incredible contributions of our School Administrative and Support Staff (SASS). These dedicated team members are the backbone of our schools, working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly for our students, teachers, and community.

From managing school records and coordinating communications to maintaining facilities and supporting student wellbeing, our SASS staff play a vital role in creating a positive and effective learning environment. Their commitment, professionalism, and care do not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for all they do.

We encourage parents and students to take a moment this week to personally thank the SASS staff at our school. A kind word, a note, or simply saying “thank you” can mean so much and show our appreciation for their hard work.

To all our SASS team members – thank you for your dedication and support. You make a difference every day, and we are fortunate to have you as part of our school community.

Taiko Drumming

Last Friday, Amelia, Zain, Sadie, and Grace took part in an exciting online Taiko drumming session, hosted by the Arts Unit. This interactive workshop introduced the students to the powerful and dynamic art of Japanese Taiko drumming, combining rhythm, movement, and cultural learning.

Through the virtual session, the students learned fundamental drumming techniques and experienced the energy and teamwork involved in Taiko performance. The workshop not only enhanced their musical skills but also offered a unique insight into this traditional art form.

We commend Amelia, Zain, Sadie, and Grace for their enthusiasm and participation, and thank the Arts Unit for providing such a vibrant cultural experience. Opportunities like these continue to enrich our students’ learning beyond the classroom

Stewart House

Xavier was fortunate to attend Stewart House for 12 days. Stewart House is a special place that provides a supportive environment where children can enjoy a range of activities, develop new skills, and take a break from their everyday routine. It offers opportunities for learning, creativity, and fun, helping students to build confidence and make lasting memories.

At Stewart House, I made pottery. I created a dolphin and a pot; then we painted them and put them in a kiln. I also made wood art. I crafted the soccer team Arsenal and the rugby team Melbourne Storm. I went to the wax museum and saw wax statues of famous people. I also visited the aquarium, where I saw fish, dugongs, and sharks. After that, we went to the museum. On the weekend, I went on the Manly ferry and watched the rugby game between the Sea Eagles and the Dolphins.
