Kindness in Action

Congratulations to Year 1 learner Arrabella H, who received both a KINDNESS Award and a ZINGER Award at last week’s Junior Assembly!

Arrabella was nominated for the Kindness Throne after Mrs Zaiko observed her showing extraordinary kindness in the library to one of her peers. This isn’t the first time Arrabella has been recognised—she has been nominated for a Kindness Award in the past, showing that her thoughtful actions are not a one-off.

On top of this, Arrabella has also been impressing with her writing, receiving a ZINGER Award for her fantastic procedure on Making a Mask.

Well done, Arrabella—we are so proud of you!

Celebrating National Tree Day 2025

A huge thank you to Mrs Stuart, Mrs Mannheim, Mrs Fowler, Clare Hourigan and Maria Wilson for the time and effort they put into organising our school-wide Scavenger Hunt to celebrate National Tree Day 2025.

Learners were set the exciting challenge of exploring our school grounds to identify different trees, record their findings on a scavenger hunt form, uncover missing letters, and finally unscramble them to reveal the mystery word—Biodiversity!

It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm and curiosity our learners brought to the challenge. A highlight of the day was watching older students step in to support our younger learners, showing teamwork, patience, and encouragement as they worked together to solve the puzzle.

Thank you again to everyone who helped make this a fun and meaningful way to celebrate the importance of trees and caring for our environment!

E-Waste

Our E-Waste campaign, is taking place this coming week, beginning Monday, 25th August and running up until Friday 29th August. It will be open each morning this week, with the drop-off of items to take place in the Beanland St pick up zone. 

During the week, we will be collecting: 

• Phones/ iPhones
• iPads/ Tablets
• Computers/ Monitors
• Printers/ Scanners
• TVs
• DVD Players
• Game Consoles
• Sound systems

We are not able to collect:

• Batteries 

We are pleased to be supported again by eWaste Collection. They will not only collect our E-Waste from the school but will also provide a presentation to our Conservation Club about the E-Waste recycling process.

Although this year's E-Waste collection will not serve as a fundraiser for the school, it remains a crucial initiative for helping our environment and promoting sustainability within our community.
