Kindergarten Scientists in Action:  Exploring Forces with Fun and Creativity
This week, our Kindergarten students embarked on an exciting journey into the world of forces, exploring the concepts of push and pull.  They demonstrated wonderful creativity as they designed paper plate marble runs, experimenting with slopes and speed to see how the marbles would travel.  Using pop sticks, they built their own catapults, joyfully launching pom poms across the room.  It was inspiring to witness the laughter and excitement that filled the classroom as our youngest learners discovered the wonders of science through hands-on, playful experiences.  Their enthusiasm and curiosity truly embody the joy of learning.

Journey of Courage:  A Year 5 Student’s Inspiring Reflection on Migration and Resilience
I am incredibly proud to share the remarkable reflection written by one of our Year 5 students' Andrey, who bravely recounted his experience of migrating to Australia. This piece captures not only the challenges he faced but also the strength and resilience he demonstrated in overcoming them.  His thoughtful reflection offers valuable insights into personal growth and the lessons he learned through navigating change. It is inspiring to see such maturity and self-awareness at this young age.  This work embodies the spirit of perseverance and determination we celebrate in our school community.  Well done!

A Huge Success: Thank You for Making Our P&C Mega Family Movie Night Fundraiser Unforgettable!
I am delighted to share that our P&C Mega Family Movie Night Fundraiser was an incredible success!  This event brought our school community together in such a positive and joyful way, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and hard work of so many people.

A massive thank you to Jodie, Mirella, and Emma—your countless hours spent planning and organising this event were enormous, and your commitment made all the difference.  To every single volunteer who gave their time and energy, a heartfelt thank you; we simply couldn’t have done it without your support.

Congratulations to the families who bid on and won the beautiful class artworks—we hope you treasure them as much as the teachers enjoyed creating them.  Speaking of our teachers, a big thank you to those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes and showed up on the day to help everything run smoothly.

Finally, to all the families who bought tickets and joined us for a fun-filled afternoon and evening on-site, your commitment and participation made this event so special. Thank you for being part of our wonderful school community!

Together, we’ve made memories that will last.  I look forward to many more successful events ahead.
