Yr 6 Refugee Sleepover

Armed with tarps, cardboard boxes and not much else, our Year 6 students transformed the upper undercover area into a ‘refugee camp’ at the end of last term. The event, which was the culmination of their studies across subjects including English and HASS, encouraged the students to understand the experience of migrants and refugees on a more personal level. Each student group, or ‘family’, was given limited space to bring personal items and they had to plan their own food and shelters.

Every student (and staff member) left tired, but happy, having created memories that will continue to grow their empathy and compassion towards others.

Foundation Swimming

The Foundations ended Term 3 with a serious splash! As part of our annual Swim Safe Week, our youngest students visited the Clovercrest pool everyday to improve their swimming and water safety skills under the guidance of specially trained swim instructors. As we head into summer, and our beaches and pools get even more popular, these skills are vital part of becoming safe, confident swimmers and people. By the looks of it, Swim Safe Week was a lot of fun and a great success!
