We’re grateful for this wonderful opportunity and look forward to future community events that help bring our students closer to the world around them!

 

FAMILY BINGO

 

Our school hosted a fantastic Family Bingo Night! The hall was buzzing with excitement as students, parents, and teachers gathered for an evening of fun. The event was a great way to bring the school community together outside of the classroom.

 

It was a fun, energetic evening, and we’re all looking forward to the next one!

WORLD SMILE DAY 2024

An annual tradition for a Feel Good Friday. Staff and children greet each other at the gate with smiles. Nearly every child completed the smiley task at home...thank you parents! Children learnt about Takashi Murakami - a contemporary Japanese artist - known for incorporating a smiley flower in his artwork. 

Move for Peace: 20.09.24

This week we have been getting fitter, stronger and cleverer. The Feel Good Fruit Shop has been open every morning for children to buy a banana snack and children have been building up fit bricks by jogging at school and at home. On Feel Good Friday all the children earned more fit bricks by getting together on The Orion Field and moving for Peace. It is a tradition in our schools to celebrate the International Day of Peace - it is always special, always happy and always important to us.

The Feel Good 4 

Let’s be fitter, stronger and cleverer! It’s good to feel good! Parents and children together having a better, healthier lifestyle this year.  It was Banana Friday today...bananas have a high nutritional value and are 75% water. They are an EXCELLENT healthy snack.
