On Wednesday the 29th of January we had our first day back at school, except for the new Preps, who started on Thursday. Everyone was happy to be back at school. The Grade 6s had their first buddy recess with the new preps and there will be many more buddy lunches. We had fun eating morning tea with our buddies and helping them settle into the playground.

It is going be a busy term with lots going on for the senior students. We have been completing maths, spelling and writing assessments and discussing how to be safe, respectful learners. We are explaining to each other how we can use the learning assets of being good communicators, collaborators, thinkers, researchers and self-managers. We have also been learning about how to have a growth mindset and why it is important. There will also be lots of sports activities, starting with swimming trials and then swimming sports. Everyone will be looking forward to school athletics this term.

On the 3rd of February the captains received their badges at assembly and we are sure they will do a fantastic job. Let this school year be full of hope and grace.
