Recently one of our students approached us in relation to using our facilities for the purpose of running a fundraiser to support people with cancer.
This is a cause close to the heart of this student and her family, so we agreed to their use of the MPA for this fundraiser. Below is a recount from Isabella ....
On the 28th of May we hosted the Biggest Morning Tea. Thanks to parents, teachers and students we successfully raised $413 to support the Cancer Council. It was a massive help towards our overall goal of $1000. Thank you everyone for donating.
Congratulations to Alexandra from 3R for winning our Lolly Guessing Competition and to all parents who won raffles and competitions. A big thank you to Mrs Garzaniti and Mrs Figuero for lending us the MPA and advertising around the school. We achieved our goal and are one step closer to beating cancer. Thank you.

Through hands-on activities and collaborative challenges, students explored how Maths is used in everyday life and discovered that Maths really is everywhere. Working in small teams, students communicated their ideas, solved problems together, and explored a variety of mathematical strands linked to their learning this term. It was wonderful to see students thinking critically, persevering through challenges, and most importantly, having fun while learning!

The experience provided valuable opportunities for students to deepen their understanding of Aboriginal culture, storytelling, and the importance of community and respectful conversation. Students engaged thoughtfully and showed great curiosity and respect throughout the session. We sincerely thank Jarara for sharing their time, knowledge, and experiences.๐ค๐โค๏ธ

On Friday our Year 2 classroom turned into a tectonic workshop this week as we tackled the messy, wonderful world of volcanoes! Taking inspiration from the earthโs natural wonders, our young geologists got stuck into the clay to build some truly explosive masterpieces. Watching the kids dive into their clay techniques was the best part of the day. Theyโve been busy pinching and pulling the clay into steep summits and using slab building to create those wide, sturdy bases. There was plenty of ""magic glue"" involved too, as they practiced scoring and slipping to keep their structures strong. Once the clay was set, the real magic happenedโthe children used vibrant paints to decorate their creations, splashing on fiery reds, glowing oranges, and smoky blacks to bring their rumbling mountains to life! We are so impressed with the focus and creativity Year 2 showedโtheyโve officially turned a bit of earth into something spectacular. Check out our actions shots from the day here -

๐ Empowering Our Future Leaders: Year 6 Leadership Day! ๐ Our Year 6 students recently stepped up to the challenge during our Stage 3 Leadership Day! This special event was all about moving beyond the idea of leadership as just a badge or a title, focusing instead on the purposeful skills, attitudes, and behaviors that allow every student to make a positive difference. Through the "Explore, Discover, Act" incursion, our students dove into a day of self-discovery and teamwork. They Explored what it means to lead with a shared vocabulary, Discovered their own potential through hands-on challenges, and learned how to Act authentically by applying these skills to their daily lives. We are so proud of the maturity and connection Year 6 showed. They arenโt just preparing to be leaders in the future; they are leading right now! ๐๐ค

๐จ From Pixels to Pottery: Year 1โs Robotic Creations! ๐ค Our Year 1 artists have been having so much fun bringing the digital world to life in the art studio this week! Weโve been exploring how technology and tradition can mix by sculpting our very own robots out of clay. It was amazing to watch the children transform simple lumps of clay into futuristic friends using some impressive new skills. They practiced pinching and pulling to find the perfect shapes, learned how to roll slabs for sturdy robot bodies, and mastered the "magic glue" of scoring and slipping to make sure those antennas and arms stay put. To give their bots that real mechanical feel, they decorated them with pipelines and buttons, adding so much character to every piece! We are so proud of their hard work and the way they used their hands to turn a bit of earth into something truly out of this world.
