Our Year 5 students have been hard at work this week. In English, they have been reading a biography of Peter Lalor, a key figure in Australia's democratic history. To show off their comprehension skills, the students have been practicing the skill of paraphrasing. This involves taking complex information from the text and rewording it in their own way while retaining the original meaning. ✍️ Today's focus was the introduction. The students loved using their whiteboards to draft their ideas, tweak their sentences, and share their sentences with their peers. 💡💬 Keep up the good work.

Last Friday, Year 3 participated in the World of Maths incursion, exploring 17 engaging, hands-on activities designed to build and apply a wide range of mathematical skills. Students worked both collaboratively and independently to solve problems, think critically, and use strategies involving number, measurement, patterns, and reasoning. It was fantastic to see students making real-world connections and discovering that maths can be both fun and meaningful!

Yesterday, Year 4 attended the “Freaky Forces” science incursion in the MPA and enjoyed a hands-on exploration of forces. Students investigated how friction affects movement, how centre of gravity impacts balance, and why objects behave the way they do. A highlight was the balloon experiment—standing on balloons without popping them—showing how spreading force over a larger area prevents breakage. A fun and engaging way to bring science to life!

Our Year 1 explorers traded their desks for a day of discovery at the World of Maths excursion! 🧮✨ It wasn’t just about numbers—it was about solving puzzles, building towers, and seeing how math lives everywhere in the world around us. From hands-on challenges to teamwork triumphs, our little learners showed off some seriously impressive problem-solving skills. The best part? Seeing those ""Aha!"" moments when a tricky puzzle finally clicked! 💡 Check out some of the highlights from our day of counting, measuring, and (most importantly) having a blast! 📸👇 #WorldOfMaths #Year1Adventures #LearningThroughPlay #FutureMathematicians #SchoolExcursion #HandsOnLearning"

This term, our Year 6 students wiill be investigating how the properties of materials determine their use. Today’s challenge was to taking everyday items like metal clips, bottle tops, playdough, sponges, and wooden tiles and find a way to make them float. Working in teams, the students manipulated the materials before making their predictions. The students then tested their objects to determine whether or not they were able to float. It was a fantastic day of hands-on learning and scientific thinking! Well done, Year 6, on such a focused and engaging start to the term! 🌟

Our Year 5 students have been diving deep into the Gospels this week exploring the powerful moment when Peter declares that Jesus is the Messiah. ✝️ Today they were inestigating the literal sense of the text. They worked hard to identify the who, where, when and what of the story, ensuring every answer was backed by proof. Students underlined direct evidence from the text to support their answers. 📝 It was wonderful to see such focussed engagement connected to their task.

Yesterday, our school community gathered under the Year 2 COLA for a moving Anzac Day service. It was a beautiful opportunity to come together in prayer and reflection to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served our country. We are incredibly proud of our students, who demonstrated such reverence and respect throughout the commemoration. A special thank you to our Year 6 FIAT team for leading the ceremony with such grace and leadership. May the Anzac spirit of mateship and endurance continue to inspire us all. Lest We Forget. 🌹
