Our ever reliable parent support always kick in when requests are made! There was more than enough freshly made pancakes to go around ! Special mention to our friend Teresa for her commitment and dedication to feeding the hoards!

Together we raised $383, what a wonderful effort.

Wellbeing -Mindfulness Mondays

Wow.

What a start to our Mindfulness Mondays!

Leadership Team One along with Jack and Chloe our school captains &  Poppy and Lucas our media leaders had a great time introducing this concept with our students.

There was an abundance of balls, skipping ropes, hurdles and cones. The equipment was borrowed and then returned safely to the trolley!!

We look forward to this continuing throughout the school year! Stay tuned for next Monday  – a simple clue…A fragile, shimmering sphere filled with air.
