Our teachers are amazing. They work hard to make every school day a success for your children, and even on the tough days, when learning doesn’t stick they keep giving their all.

Today was a day for our learning community to come together and let our teachers know how much they mean, and they have felt the love. They have received lovely letters, gestures, and gifts. Thank you to everybody who has shown their appreciation today.

As part of our inquiry learning about materials, such as milk and it’s properties, our Year 3 and 4 students enjoyed a trip to Ambury Farm this week. The visit gave students a hands-on opportunity to learn where milk comes from and how it is produced.
Students met a variety of farm animals, observed the milking process, and even made their own butter. The trip brought our classroom learning to life and helped students make meaningful connections between what they have been learning and the real world.
We would like to thank our parent helpers and the staff at Ambury Farm for making this trip a memorable learning experience.

Thank you to all the families who contributed to our coin trail for Daffodil Day. Our students around the school are looking very bright and yellow in their outfits.
This fundraiser has helped contribute over $511 towards our schools contribution to the cancer foundation.
Our staff are also doing their annual raffle and auction with a shared morning tea to raise funds towards our schools contribution.

Many thanks to the team at Redhill School who hosted our year 7&8 rugby league teams yesterday for training. Our boys and girls’ teams had a great hit up and left with full puku too.
