Thank you to the P&C for organising Pyjama Day and to everyone who got involved — our school community really does make a difference.

Our Kindergarten students have reached a wonderful milestone — 100 days of learning, laughing and growing brighter every day! To celebrate, we embraced the theme 100 Days Brighter with colourful activities, creative dress-ups and joyful reflections on all we’ve achieved so far. From counting to 100 to sharing our learning, the day was filled with pride, sparkle and smiles. Here’s to continuing our journey — shining brighter with every step!

Stage 2 students had a fantastic day exploring Sydney Zoo, where they were able to get up close with a wide variety of incredible animals. From observing native Australian wildlife to discovering exotic species from around the world, students were fully engaged in hands-on learning experiences that complemented their classroom studies. The excursion provided valuable opportunities to deepen their understanding of animal habitats, adaptations and conservation — all while enjoying a fun and memorable day together.

Our Big Peeps, Little Peeps peer support program fosters strong connections between our Year 6 and Kindergarten students.
