A note from the Principal
This week,
we witnessed two inspiring examples of student agency in the Primary school:
Busking Day and Year 4 Enterprise Week.
The students showcased their talents and raised funds for charities during our
annual Busking Day, creating a vibrant and memorable event for the community.
Meanwhile, Year 4 students demonstrated their entrepreneurial skills,
displaying creativity, teamwork, and professionalism throughout Enterprise
Week.
These experiences exemplify our commitment to empowering students and fostering
their holistic development. We truly applaud their accomplishments and thank every
body for getting involved!

Next week students will learn about emotional changes during puberty.
Changes discussed include mood swings and the rollercoaster of emotions that adolescents experience, as well as changes in friendships, attraction and developing crushes.
Expo - How can we educate others to make healthy life choices?
Year 6 are working hard on preparing for their Expo on Friday the 16th June. The children are learning and researching so that they can answer the question above. The Expo will provide an opportunity for the students to share their learning and educate our Year 6 parents and Y5 student visitors.
