Our Brilliant Grade Sixes

A highlight for Term 4 is always the graduation of our year 6 - The Class of 2026.

This group have and are excelling in their leadership roles. It is an absolute pleasure to hear how articulate and respectful our students are as they guide visitors to our school on tours, or present to our new families who are enroled for Prep 2027.

Without any scripts they confidently expand on our academic program, the specialist program, the school values, school routines, school events, interschool sport, their leadership roles, the school camping program and special days.

They confidently address and answer questions as Tilly did this week talking about Mathematics assessments and the subsequent maths unit being tailored to suit the learning needs of all students, then being able to expand on our musical production The Magic Library and her role as part of the script writing team.

Will could share his experience with learning the drums and representing the school with fellow band members playing a gig at the Young Creatives Arts festival in Sandringham.

Xander shared how he helps Kurt to raise the flags, and needing to problem solve when the weather has played havoc with the pulley mechanism.

It is endless, in terms of their knowledge of what they love about the school, what their accomplishments are and what they are looking forward to when they are in Canberra.

Parents consistenly feedback the benefits of the Year 6 program and how this confidence supports the smooth transition into year 7.

Grade 3 takes shape

A week after finishing our 3D shape unit, grade 3 brought the maths back to life with a very creative 3D Shape Gallery.

The children made all sorts of clever creations using spheres, cones, cubes and rectangular prisms. They then shared how many shapes, faces, surfaces, edges and vertices they had used.

Other classes came by for a gallery walk to look at the finished creations. It was so much fun seeing the children use their maths knowledge alongside plenty of imagination and excitement. What a great way to watch their learning take shape - pun intended✨😊
