Our schools are cracking the reading code
Do you remember how you learned to read? For a vital skill that is linked to all other learning, it’s surprisingly difficult to explain how to go about learning it.

Yesterday, our Kindergarten students enjoyed a wonderful incursion with Brewongle. We explored a range of traditional Aboriginal tools and learned more about how Aboriginal Peoples have used the natural environment for many different purposes. They especially loved heading outdoors to create their own beautiful artworks using ochre! It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience that helped bring our learning about Aboriginal culture and connection to Country to life 🌿🎨

Six Habits That Help Children Develop a Love of Reading
Book Week is a celebration of stories, imagination and creativity, but helping children love reading isn't just something that happens during one week of the year. The good news? It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

🎨 Celebrating Mrs Nettleton on Principal’s Day 🧩 Yesterday, our school community came together to celebrate Mrs Nettleton for Principal’s Day! Our student leaders set up a fun scavenger hunt around the school, sending her to collect pieces of a mystery artwork created by our students. The hunt led to a special assembly featuring a performance by our Dance Crew, a student poem, and the reveal of the completed puzzle wall. Following the celebrations and a morning tea, Mrs Nettleton shared a message of thanks: "Thank you everyone for such a beautiful day at school today. I feel thoroughly spoiled and am amazed at the gestures from staff and students. Thank you for the beautiful morning tea, fun challenge, amazing assembly with Dance Crew and Poem and of course the revealing of the wonderful puzzle on the wall." Thank you, Mrs Nettleton, for your leadership and dedication to our school community! 💙
