Term 1 wrap-up
It is hard to believe that Term 1 is already over. Thank you, families, for your ongoing support and feedback, which assist us in creating the best learning environment for our students. We have seen incredible growth throughout the school this term, from our Transition students, who are becoming more independent and confident each day, to our Year 6 students, who are taking on the role of the collective leadership team with maturity and enthusiasm.
Together, we have achieved a lot within the Junior School. Students have embraced opportunities and involved themselves in daily activities, including before and after school. Seeing students getting involved in different clubs and exploring interests in other areas has been wonderful.
I hope that you take some time over the holidays to relax, reconnect with yourselves and each other, and do some activities that you enjoy. Term 2 will be busy with the start of the Year 5 and 6 camp, so it may be a chance to get the students prepared for this by having a look at the packing list and perhaps setting up a tent in the backyard.
I look forward to seeing everyone for an exciting Term 2.

Let's talk Politics
This term, Year 6 students had the opportunity to visit Parliament House as part of their studies on democracy and the workings of government. During the visit, students explored the history of the building and observed the chamber (although not in action), gaining a deeper understanding of where key decisions are made. They also learned about the preferential voting system and its role in our democratic process. Throughout the day, students engaged thoughtfully, asking insightful questions and drawing inspiration from past leaders—perhaps even sparking the ambitions of future politicians among them!
