Welcome

Welcome to all of our new and returning families to what has been an amazing start to the 2025 school year. It has been wonderful to see all of our learners happy, and settling well into their new routines. 

Our youngest and newest learners, our Preps, have started their buddy program with our Year 6 classes and are enjoying learning both inside their classroom and outside. There are some excited, happy but very tired learners at the end of the week!

We look forward to another great year.

Visit by Registered Nurse for Free Prep Vision Screening

Good vision is important for a child’s educational, physical and social development. Vision screening checks for common eye conditions that may impact your child’s ability to see and therefore impact their learning and development.

A Registered Nurse will visit our school on the 10th and 11th of March and on the 18th of March, 2025, to conduct vision screening for children in their prep year. If you wish to have your prep child participate in this free vision screening program, please complete the online consent form prior to 23rd February. The link was sent via email, from your child’s teacher, and a QR code has been placed outside each Prep classroom to assist you with accessing the consent form. Parents do not need to be present for screening.

If your child’s vision is screened, you will be advised of the results in writing. If a vision concern is found, you will receive a phone call from the nurse to discuss referral to an eye health professional for further assessment. 

Participation in vision screening is not compulsory. If you do not wish for your child to participate in screening, please complete the consent form and indicate that you wish to decline screening.

If you have any questions, please contact the Primary School Nurse Readiness Program on 1800 687 372.

Grade 1 Learners Explore the Science of Sound with Mrs Zorzetto

Last Wednesday, our Grade 1 learners were treated to a special instrumental music presentation by our instrumental music teacher, Mrs Zorzetto. This engaging session was part of our Science unit on sound, where we are exploring how sound is produced and sensed in different ways.

Mrs Zorzetto demonstrated a variety of instruments, from the small and high-pitched flute to the deep and resonant tuba, helping learners investigate how the size and shape of an instrument affect its pitch. She also showed how different actions—blowing, plucking, and striking—create different sounds. Learners discovered that sound is a form of energy and that using more energy produces a louder volume.

It was a fantastic multi-sensory experience that brought our Science learning to life. A big thank you to Mrs Zorzetto for sharing her time and expertise with us!
