Very exciting day at school on Friday... We ended book week with a bang and had a fantastic dress up day! The kids and teachers all looked amazing as their favourite book characters!

Cycle Safety

On Monday two police officers came to school to teach us about cycle safety.

We had slow races and did an obstacle course that had zigzags, seesaws and a ladder that we had to go over on our bikes.

We learnt about road rules, using hand signals, how to wear our helmets properly, how to check our bikes are safe to ride (check with a M), legal requirements for our bikes, and how to safely ride our bike on the road.

We learnt it is important to always wear our helmets because the doctor can't fix your brain like they can fix a broken bone.

Thank you to the police officers for coming and helping us learn how to be safe on our bikes!! We had an awesome day and learnt lots of new things.

Red Puppy Pet Day

Last Friday we had a pet day to raise money for the Red Puppy Appeal. We brought our pets to school and had a parade.

There were heaps of intelligent animals, some of them even talked.

There were lots of dogs and the teachers made an obstacle course for them to play on.


We had an epic day.

What a stunning day we had yesterday for our School Athletics at Anzac park. Here are a few snaps from our day with some that show our fantastic shot put techniques!

What a wonderful afternoon it was today!! We had house sports and the school leaders did such a fantastic job running the sports and leading their teams... Job well done!
