Welcome back everyone to this new school year.
I hope that the recent Christmas break was one where you were really able to spend some quality time with your children and loved ones. The children returned to school to find 410 helium balloons launching our Term 1 theme: LIFT YOUR LEARNING!
Many children sat in the 'balloon-chair' and imagined their way into another world. Our term theme focus also served as a goal setting time for children as well as a creative writing stimulus. Make sure that you check your child's grade blog for more photos.

โจ Today we did something truly special. โจ As a school community, we came together to celebrate peace and light, inspired by Jesusโ example and the symbol of light that shines across many faiths. We also took time to acknowledge and honour our Hindu friends, who celebrate light during this time of year. Together, we lit a Catholic candle and a Hindu Diya, symbols of unity and hope, reminding us that we are stronger as one โ united in peace. ๐ฏ๏ธโจ Our celebration continued with a pilgrimage of peace and hope, where each step reflected our shared commitment to kindness and understanding. We finished beneath a symbolic archway, marking a promise to ourselves and to others: to be peacemakers in our world. ๐๐ To mark this commitment, we also planted a Tree of Peace as a living symbol of hope, harmony, and unity for generations to come. #PeaceAndLight #UnityInDiversity #WeAreOne #FaithInAction
