RECENT EVENTS
PRIMARY DEVICES
This week our Year 5 students engaged in a Transition Program designed to support their move into the Secondary campus. Students experienced a range of activities that built confidence, developed independence, and helped them become familiar with new learning environments. Staff were impressed with the maturity and enthusiasm shown, and it was wonderful to see friendships forming and students embracing the challenges ahead. We look forward to continuing to support them on this important journey into Year 6 and beyond. Our Year 9 and 10 students have also been busy this week with City Experience and Work Experience programs. These opportunities extend learning beyond the classroom, providing real - world challenges that build problem - solving, organisation, and self - discipline. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with students meeting their goals with enthusiasm and maturity. Thank you to families for your support and flexibility, which made these programs possible. Exponential learning opportunities such as these, fast - track cognitive development for adolescents. This is done through presenting them with challenging situations and testing their problem solving, organisation and self - discipline. We also extend our appreciation to all who attended our annual Father ’ s & Special Friends Day events. Special thanks to our dedicated Fundraising Team, whose efforts
On the recent student - free day, new IQ - Touch interactive boards were installed in all Primary classrooms, completing our digital technology improvement rollout. These upgrades provide a consistent and modern platform for our junior classes, ready for engaging learning.
