Mental Health is on everyone’s lips. There are countless news articles about mental health every year – in fact over the course of a typical day, there are more articles published about mental health than there are about other hot topics like AI, the risk of a recession, and even Taylor Swift!

Something for everyone!  Items will cost between $2 and $12.  Students will be allocated a time slot and they will go to the stall with their teachers in their grades. Please send your child to school with some money and a shopping bag to carry all the goods bought.

As part of our current unit on weather and seasons, we are excited to announce an upcoming excursion to Scienceworks!

This hands-on experience will support and enrich the learning we’ve been doing in the classroom by giving students the opportunity to explore how weather and seasonal changes affect our daily lives.

At Scienceworks, students will engage with interactive exhibits and participate in activities that help them better understand weather patterns, the science behind the seasons, and how these natural changes influence our environment, clothing, activities, and even our health.

This excursion is a wonderful opportunity for students to see science in action and make real-world connections to what they’ve been learning at school. We look forward to a fun and educational day!

Requirements:
Students are in full school uniform. Snack and lunch should be brought to school in a clearly labelled plastic bag with your child's name. Please ensure all items are disposable. Lunchboxes are not required on this day.
