Living our Values

We are motivated and engaged

Upcoming Events

Well-Being

It's a great time for our students to have a break.  Please do keep the conversations going with them regarding their well-being. 

An activity that some of our students enjoy is a yoga story.  Cosmic kids is a lovely channel on youtube where there are stories told alongside some yoga-type stretches which match the narrative.  If you want to do some with your child over the break, we highly recommend them.  :)

Global Citizenship

Thanks to all who have been supporting the our community to dispose of batteries responsibly.  The y4s have been learning about electricity and lots of students now know that there are chemicals inside a battery that cause it to work. We want these chemicals to be kept out of our environment so please send in any old batteries that you have at home.  

Birthdays

Happy birthday to you all- we hope you have a great day!
