Sailing was the biggest challenge I have had and it was my first time.

Thanks for a great term.

Wear something environmentally friendly (eg. environmental colours, recycled / re-used clothing). Can you come to school an environmentally friendly way too?

Sadly for us, Karen has secured a new job closer to home and will be leaving our school at the end of term 3.

I just wanted to take a minute to write and say THANK YOU to all the teachers involved in organising the camp.

On Monday our Pipers netball team hosted Stella Maris netball team and a couple of our World Champion netball Ferns - Mikayla Sokolich Beatson and Bailey Mes. It was fantastic to welcome Mikayla back to her old primary school. The game was a celebration of both teams excellent sporting attitude. Kevin

This term we have been learning about different ways that we can improve our well being.

All Year 6 children wrote and read a speech this year.

One hundred children all shouting at once, 12 stalls all packed into one crowded M&M classroom. So many people that want to buy so many amazing things. That’s right this is Team M&M Sustainable Shop 2.

What an incredible term of experiences we have had. This week was a busy one with trainee paramedics, travel agents, vets, early childhood teachers and museum curators getting some on the job training!
