Breakfast Club
This term, Breakfast Club will be run on Wednesday morning, instead of Thursday morning.
Any leftover produce will be available in the Conference Room the next morning.
We have moved to the other side of the Conference Room to allow for more students to line up under cover and in the Conference Room as the weather gets a little colder and the chances of it raining increases.
Please remember 3 important things on Breakfast Clubs mornings:
- Use your manners
- Use the bins
- You must wait until the 8:45am bell to enter the school yard and line up.
Lunch packs and Take Home packs are still available upon request. Please let Rachel Roberts know and this will be arranged for you.
Cross Cohort SMILE Activity
At the end of last term, we held our first Cross Cohort SMILE activity, bringing students together from across the school in a meaningful and engaging way.
Students were placed into 20 mixed-age groups. These groups were randomly generated, with the exception of our Prep students joining their year 5 buddies.
As this coincided with Cultural Diversity Week, the session focused on the theme:
“Culture connects us all.”
Throughout the session, students engaged in rich discussions about our school and community — exploring our differences, recognising our similarities, and thinking about how we can celebrate diversity together.
Each group then worked collaboratively to create a collage representing the diversity within their group. The final pieces were vibrant, thoughtful, and a wonderful reflection of our inclusive school community.
Why this matters
Cross cohort activities like this provide valuable opportunities for students to:
- build connections across different year levels
- develop a stronger sense of belonging and school community
- learn from and support one another
- strengthen communication and teamwork skills
- deepen their understanding and appreciation of diversity
It was fantastic to see students working together with different peers and teachers, and engaging in meaningful conversations about inclusion and belonging.
The Cultural Diversity Week-inspired collages look amazing — we encourage you to take a look at the displays around the school!
