Week of Worship Highlights

Last week really was something to WOW about, as we spent time every day worshiping and learning about how God has called each one of us to live our lives with Him. Watch the video below for some highlights from the week.

College Visits Prepare Year 6

A core focus of our Year 6 program is preparing students for the changes in routine and demands that come with entering High School. Each Year 6 class is rotating through visits to Prescott College that expose them to a high school environment and subjects such as Food Tech, Woodwork and Chemistry. It also looks like a lot of fun!

Year 2 Planting  

I am fast becoming a green thumb and have been so excited to share my knowledge of plant and composting with the Year 2’s this week. We spoke again about compost, the importance of not putting our green waste into the red bin, and how we compost at school and what you can do at home. We also visited our worm friends doing their amazing job in our worm farm.

We then used some of the compost to place into the garden bed and prepared it for the vegetables to be planted. We planted cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and some greens such as spinach and lettuce. We are going to share these with our class as they grow and use them to make a yummy salad! We are all looking forward to watching them grow.  - Mrs T Watson

The Goodness of Citrus! 

With winter just around the corner, there is now an abundance of delicious citrus available. The weather was not favourable for our activity, but after a little shuffle, the students were able to play with and take in bursts of bright colours and delicious citrus scents as they poured, squeezed and stirred the citrus fruit. Most of the oranges came from my very own orange tree, and the students were delighted to have a try at making their own orange juice from freshly picked oranges. After the activity was finished, the waste was then taken down to our garden and placed into the compost with equal amounts of brown waste to break down and produce nutritious, rich soil for the newly planted vegetables. What is your favourite citrus fruit?
