Prep Learners Celebrate Mother’s Day

On Friday, 9th May, our Prep classrooms were filled with excitement, laughter and love as we hosted a special Mother’s Day celebration. Each Prep learner welcomed their Mum, or another cherished Special Person, to join them for a memorable morning of shared activities and connection.

The atmosphere was buzzing as children and their guests rotated through a variety of hands-on experiences designed to celebrate the important people in their lives. Among the most popular activities were decorating and enjoying sweet ‘Love Bug’ cookies, blowing bubbles in the sunshine, painting fingernails, painting and crafting colourful bracelets and necklaces for Mum to wear with pride.

It was a delight to witness the joy on the children’s faces as they proudly worked side-by-side with their loved ones. Events like these not only honour the incredible role our families play but also strengthen the bonds within our school community.

Thank you to all who attended and helped make the morning so special. It was truly a celebration to remember!

Grade 1 Learners Dive into Science with Street Science!

On Monday, our Grade 1 learners were buzzing with excitement as they took part in a hands-on incursion presented by Street Science.

The morning began with a high-energy Signature Show, where learners were reminded that science is everywhere! Through exciting demonstrations, we explored how materials can change, and how we sense light and sound from its source. This interactive performance linked beautifully to our learning from last term on light and sound, revising key concepts in a fun and memorable way.  

After that, learners got their hands dirty in the Get It Growing workshop. We investigated the parts of plants and discussed the important role each part plays in helping a plant survive. Then, each learner potted their very own seedling to care for at home. One of the highlights was creating a native flower bomb—ready to throw into the garden to encourage native blooms to grow and support our environment!

The day was packed with engaging activities designed to spark curiosity and deepen our understanding of the world around us. Learners used and revised all their senses as they observed, touched, smelled, and even heard science in action.
