Our year five students all had a fantastic time at their Adventure Bound camp. Camps cannot happen without adults giving up their time to organise and attend them. Thank you to Mrs Ilic and Mr Dixon for organising the camps. Thank you to Rebecca, Peter, Maria, Tanya, Chelsea, Matt, Ms Phillips and Mr Dixon for attending the camps. Our camping champion, Mrs Kimm spent the whole week at camp and looked after students with illnesses or injuries as well as participating in all activities. Your stamina is both admired and appreciated, Mrs Kimm.

National No Bullying Day

BE A BUDDY, NOT A BULLY

The peer leaders planned a day of action for the whole school on National No Bullying Day. All classes taught some lessons around the difference between being mean, conflict, teasing and bullying. They also talked about the role of the bystander and how we can support others who are being bullied. We assembled on the oval for a whole school photo to share our no bullying message, we added our hands to a mural and launched two new buddy seats. Congratulations peer leaders on organising a very educational day which will help us all to get along in the future.

Harmony Day 2019

Everyone Belongs

This year we celebrated Harmony Day with a whole school assembly.
Miki Sensei, year 5 Hamdan and year 5/6 Dixon led the school in singing a song in English and Japanese titled, Everyone Belongs. Mrs Chatto read, ‘I’m Australian too’  and some of our peer leaders added a few extra pages telling their stories. Each class presented a canvas they had prepared giving their class message on how we can all belong, the canvases are now displayed in ‘Harmony Lane’ which is in the walkway behind the stage. 


After assembly we moved into our year group teams and participated in playground games. The aim of this session was to teach the students new games to play during recess and lunch, students were introduced to many old favourites: marbles, elastics, skipping, fly and many more engaging games. The concept of belonging and inclusivity prevailed throughout the games session with everyone having a positive and enjoyable morning.
