On Friday 27th June Kindergarten went to Calmsley Hill Farm for their excursion. Kindergarten students have been learning about living things in Science. They have been discussing what a living thing needs to survive and what living things give us. Kindy were able to milk a cow, pat a chick, duckling and a rabbit as well as go for a ride on the tractor. After lunch the students were able to watch a whip show, dog show and a shearing show to finish the day. All the students and teachers had a great day.![736134504980065_2527543827601527-1]()

🎉 Congratulations to our Stage 3 Girls Soccer Team! ⚽️💪 Our Stage 3 girls put in an incredible performance at the recent Gala Day, going undefeated throughout the tournament! Their teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship were on full display as they battled through a highly competitive group. The final result came down to the wire - a tense wait for the outcome of another match to determine the group winner. In a thrilling twist, our girls claimed 1st place on goal difference—a well-deserved victory! We are so proud of their effort, resilience, and the way they represented our school. Well done, girls! 🥇👏 Also a big thank you to all the parents for their support on the day.
