1 Blue Assembly 

On Friday of last week, Year 1 Blue entertained us with the assembly dedicated to their Mums, sharing the many reasons they love their Mums and acknowledging all the many balls that the Mums in our community juggle while always having the time to stop and have a cuddle. Thank you, 1 Blue, Miss Tess McKenna and Mrs Julie Romano for such a well-performed, heart-warming assembly.  

Year 2 Green Assembly 

This morning, 2 Green entertained and educated us with their love of Science, experiments and potions! They even performed experiments on stage! Massive thank you to 2 Green, Mrs Catherine Nicolaou, Mrs Trish Eindorf and Ms Aishlin Fritz, for highlighting not only is Chemistry fun and exciting, but it is also important in improving our world.  

Year 3-6 Guild Cross Country  

Last Friday, we celebrated our inaugural Year 3-6 Guild Cross Country, showcasing the incredible spirit and perseverance of our students. From the first stride to the final finish line, each participant demonstrated remarkable grit, determination, and sportsmanship. The energy was palpable as students cheered on their peers, embodying the true essence of our school community. A special thank you to Mrs Hannah Barnsley for all of her organisation and coordination of the event.
