We celebrated Father's Day/Special Person's Day with a wonderful breakfast event It was heart-warming to see so many special people join us to share a meal and spend quality time with the students. The morning was filled with smiles, laughter, and delicious food, making it a truly memorable occasion for everyone involved. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and helped make the day so special.

A big thank you to our amazing Parent Carers and Community Group, who organized a successful Father’s Day Slice Drive. Families had the chance to purchase a variety of delicious slices, with all proceeds going towards supporting school programs. We are incredibly grateful for the hard work and generosity of the parents involved, and for the support of our school community.


Melbourne Chamber Orchestra Workshops

We were privileged to have two visits from the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra this term! Students were captivated by the live performances and had the chance to interact with the musicians. A special highlight was the performance by Allara Briggs Pattison, who shared her knowledge of music and culture. We are excited to announce that she will be returning next term!

We are extremely fortunate to have such a wonderful team who go above and beyond every day to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for our students.
