Harmony Week was celebrated across the Junior School last week. Harmony Week recognises our diversity and brings together Australians from all different backgrounds. It is about inclusiveness, respect, and a sense of belonging for everyone.​ Students celebrated their cultures through a range of activities including a collaborative artwork, the opportunity to dress in traditional cultural dress, and daily lunchtime music and dancing. Our community does represent the world and it was wonderful that we could add a splash of orange on Thursday as a reminder of our beautiful diverse community.

Student Initiatives

It is always a proud moment to acknowledge the efforts of our students. Ethan Murray, 5R, is raising money for Camp Quality. Camp Quality is an Australian children’s charity that has been improving the quality of life for children facing cancer for over 40 years. It helps children and their families through these difficult times. Ethan has a goal to ride his bike for 200 kms this month and is participating in the ‘Big Ride’ fundraiser. This will be a great achievement. If you would like to make a donation, please visit this link.

Assembly times – Term II Updates

From Term II, Junior School Assemblies will continue to be held fortnightly on Fridays at 1.30pm. During Assemblies, Kindergarten to Year 2 will be presented with their class awards, Years 3 to 6 will receive their merit certificates, and badges will be distributed as earned throughout the year. Years 3 to 6 class awards will be presented during their grade meetings throughout the week. Classes will continue to lead Assemblies and families are invited to attend.

Chapel services will take place in the alternative weeks, and will be separated into K-2 and 3-6 services. No awards will be distributed at these and they will be attended by students only.
