Happy February to all of our wonderful families! In January, our school buzzed with excitement as numerous classes embraced the outdoors for enriching learning experiences. Many classes embarked on relevant excursions, extending their learning beyond the classroom. Additionally, Year 6 students took a significant step in their academic journey through a thoughtful transition initiative. They crafted questions about Secondary School, which were honestly and thoughtfully answered by Year 7 students. This exchange not only nurtured curiosity but also eased any anxieties our Year 6 students may have had. Please see some of the questions asked below.
As we stride forward from the momentum of January, we are thrilled to share the exciting events lined up for the upcoming month.

Everyone is invited and encouraged to be part of these enriching experiences!
