Term 3 has been a wonderful and busy time for our Junior school students. Our classes have  embraced learning with enthusiasm and have continued to demonstrate our school values with a focus on responsibility. Teachers have been working closely with students to grow their value of connection, by supporting student growth, teamwork skills and resilience.

One of the highlights of this term was our Bike and Scooter Day, thank you to the staff who organised this incredible event, all of our junior school students are excited for more! It was fantastic to see so many students participate, showing off their riding skills, wearing helmets with pride, and practising safe habits. The playground was full of energy and smiles as students enjoyed the jumps and celebrated taking positive risk, having fun and moving their bodies. 

Across classrooms and playgrounds, students have also been building positive friendships, with a focus on learning friendships and what it looks like to support others in class. We are seeing students supporting one another, working cooperatively, and showing empathy and inclusion during learning and play. These positive connections create a warm and safe environment where everyone feels welcome.

As we look ahead, students are excited about upcoming attendance celebration days. Every school day matters, and we welcome families partnering with us to support increase student attendance. These events recognise and reward the dedication families and students show in coming to school regularly, and they’re a great way to build school spirit.

Thank you to all families for your ongoing support throughout Term 3. Together we are helping our students develop confidence, resilience, and a love of learning. We look forward to an equally exciting Term 4!
