Our Year 1-6 students brought plenty of energy to the stage for this year’s EduDance performance.
After weeks of learning routines, practising their moves and working together as a team, students performed a fun and lively range of dances for family and friends.
It was wonderful to see their confidence, enthusiasm and hard work come together on stage.
Thank you to our teachers, staff and families for supporting our students and helping make the afternoon such an enjoyable celebration.
159 students from the Junior School participated in this year’s Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee. Students from across the Junior School embraced the challenge, demonstrating their knowledge and determination to test themselves against some of the country’s young spellers. The competition provided students with an opportunity to expand their vocabulary, develop their spelling skills and challenge themselves to achieve their personal best.
A special congratulations goes to our nine outstanding students who progressed through to the State Final. Reaching the State Final is a significant achievement and reflects the hard work demonstrated by these students throughout the competition. Competing at this level is an experience to be proud of.
The Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee encouraged students to have a go and pursue excellence in their learning. Congratulations to all our competitors!
Our Year 3 students enjoyed an exciting sleepover camp filled with new experiences, challenges and opportunities to build friendships.
With the theme ‘Built4More’, students were encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, embrace new challenges and discover what they could achieve.
Throughout the two days, students visited the Trade Centre where they had the opportunity to work with metal, wood and electricity. It was amazing to see the Year 12s working alongside the Year 3s as they attempted a variety of tasks. As they made their way into the evening, the students set up their beds in the classrooms and then prepared for an evening movie. The next morning, after a restful (or not so restful) sleep, the students made their way to Whiteman Park for play and finished their camp at Rollerzone for a skate. All came back to school to be picked up for a well deserved sleep over the weekend.
It was a memorable experience for our Year 3 students, filled with laughter, learning and new adventures. We are proud of the way they embraced every opportunity and made the most of their camp experience!
Our Year 5 students embarked on three days of adventure in Busselton, exploring the theme ‘Choose Your Path’ and what it means to CHOOSE, LISTEN, LEARN and BECOME.
From Gravity and high ropes to exploring caves and enjoying the beach, students took part in a range of exciting activities that encouraged them to challenge themselves, build confidence and strengthen friendships.
It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn, grow and create lasting memories with their friends by their side.
