Please remind your children always to bring brain food (such as fruit or vegetables) to eat while they are working. This assists our students in remaining fully focused and engaged during their learning. Staying hydrated is also important for learning, so please ensure a bottle of clean water is brought to school daily.

Home reading will continue this term, with students expected to read five nights a week (for 30- 45 minutes) and include a short, written reflection for four of those nights. Additionally, students will be asked to complete a detailed reading reflection and a literacy activity related to their book. Students will also be assigned Mathletics tasks.

Homework will be handed out on Wednesday and should be submitted the following Monday. All students should be able to complete their homework independently, and their work is to be of a high standard.

Grade 5 Sport begins this term. The Grade 5s will try out for sports with the Grade 4s next year and then train in preparation for the 2026 season.  This session will run from 9:15am until approximately 11:00am on Friday mornings.  

The sports for this term are Football, Soccer, Hot Shots, Netball, and T-Ball.

During this time, the Grade 6 students will be participating in rehearsals for their Graduation Ceremony.

As the weather starts to warm up this term, please remember that it is a requirement for all students to wear their hats. It is also important that students apply sunscreen.

This year has certainly flown by and we’re sure that the Grade 6 students and their parents will agree. We are very much looking forward to celebrating the Graduating Class of 2025 with families in the coming weeks. Here are some of the important details which you should take note of:
