Our Kindergarten students enjoyed being together for their first excursion to Calmsley Hill City Farm.
The students got to experience different aspects of life on a farm and meeting the different animals that live there.
The children met many farm animals as well as our native animals such as koalas, kangaroos and wombats. They got to participate in milking cows, whip cracking and watching a sheep sheering show, along with a tractor ride around the entire farm.
The hands on element of this excursion was a real highlight for many of the children!
As their teachers we were so delighted to see our students being so involved and trying new experiences, listening and participating throughout the entire day.
We had a wonderful day out!

Today we bid a heartfelt farewell to our outstanding Year 6 students. To commemorate this momentous day they enjoyed Kindergarten Cafe with their kindy buddies, The Amazing Race, sausage sizzle for lunch and a spectacular farewell at the end of the day with the final hat toss on the bell. There were beaming smiles and a few bittersweet tears but we have every confidence that you will soar to great heights and we wish you all the very best ♥️💙♥️💙

Today Year 6 embarked on a transformative reflection day. Inspired by the scripture ‘I am with you always, to the end of time’, students crafted meaningful micrography, colourful rice mandalas and calmly walked the labyrinth. The day brought profound reflection of their primary years and aspirations for a bright future.
