CLASS OF 2024

To our Year 6 Students,

As you finish this chapter of your journey, we want to celebrate all you’ve achieved and the memories you’ve created. You’ve worked hard, grown in so many ways, and shown incredible determination and kindness.

Though it’s bittersweet to say goodbye, remember this is just the start of many exciting adventures ahead. Keep believing in yourselves, stay curious, and always dream big.

We’re incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll do. Best of luck as you move forward—you’ll always be a part of our school, and we’ll be cheering you on!

Happy Holidays

As the school year comes to a close, I want to congratulate all students for their hard work and progress. The school reports reflect the growth and achievements made, and I hope they provide insight into each child’s journey this year.

Please take the time to go through your child’s report with them over the holiday period.

I encourage everyone to enjoy a well-deserved summer break—take time to relax, explore, and recharge. We look forward to seeing you back on Wednesday the 28th of January for another great year ahead!

CELEBRATION WEEK

We had an amazing time during Celebrations Week this year! It was a week full of excitement, fun, and great memories for all.

Throughout the week, students enjoyed a variety of activities, including:

  • Class Parties: Each cohort hosted its own special party, filled with games and yummy special lunches. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to bond at the conclusion of a wonderful year together!
  • Incursions and Excursions: Students engaged in a special activities including some cohorts going to the movies and others particpated in Kaboom Sports.
  • Colour Run: The highlight of the week was our annual Colour Fun Run, where students raced around the track, getting covered in vibrant colours! This event was all about having fun, staying active, and enjoying a colourful, unforgettable experience while raising much needed funds for our school grounds.
