School Counsellor & Psychologist Recognition Day

Mrs Brown goes above and beyond to support our students, staff, and families. Always with kindness, empathy, and a calm strength that makes everyone feel seen, heard, and valued.

Mrs Brown approaches every situation with care and professionalism. She truly makes a lasting difference in the lives of those around her and helps create a school culture where wellbeing and connection come first.

Thank you, Mrs Brown, for everything you do! Your endless patience, unwavering belief in our students, and the heart you bring to our school community every single day is truly appreciated. We are so lucky to have you!

2026 Kindergarten play sessions

Today was our 2nd week of Kindergarten Orientation Play Sessions.

What a blast we had! Our little learners enjoyed story time featuring the beloved classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

We explored colourful illustrations, counted the caterpillar’s food, and got creative by making our own artwork inspired by the story. It was wonderful to see the kids so engaged and excited to learn!

Here are a few happy snaps.

Happy Grandparent's Day

What a truly wonderful event we had today celebrating our grandparents! It was heartwarming to see so many of our Barrack Heights grandparents come together. We recognise that many families rely heavily on their grandparents to make so much possible, and today’s celebration was a special way to say a heartfelt THANK YOU!
