The Grade 1/2 children had an amazing time exploring how heat changes the state of matter through a fun scientific investigation!  They got to practice their math and literacy skills by measuring ingredients and figuring out how to write easy-to-follow instructions.  It was such a fun way to blend different skills, and everyone was so proud of the delicious treats they made together as a team!

On Wednesday 21st May, the Prep children had their second visit from the local firefighters as part of the community outreach program. During the visit, the firefighters helped the children recap important lessons about fire safety, including understanding the difference between safe and unsafe fires, knowing to call 000 in an emergency, and remembering key safety actions like "Stop, Drop, Cover and Roll" and "Get Down Low and Go, Go, Go." They also discussed the importance of having a safe meeting place and ensuring there are working fire alarms in the home. The highlight of the visit was getting an up-close look at the fire truck — the children were thrilled to climb inside and explore the vehicle. To top it off, everyone had a turn using the water hose, making the experience both educational and exciting.

Our Preps had a visit from firefighters on Tuesday, 13th of May. It was the first of two visits with the following one being next Wednesday when they bring the fire truck!  It will be an exciting day for our Foundation students for sure, however it will also provide them with key messages that they can learn from to help them remain safe. Enjoy the photos of our Foundation students learning about fire fighters equipment and fire safety messages from their visit.

On Monday 5th May, Years 3/4  and 5/6 students participated in a cybersafety education program called 'Think U Know' run by Senior Constable Heath Williams. ThinkUKnow is a cybersafety education program delivered in partnership by the Australian Federal Police, Microsoft Australia, Datacom and the Commonwealth Bank, and in collaboration with state and territory police agencies. The in-school presentation aims to build positive engagement between children, young people and police, while equipping students with the knowledge and skills to be able to take actionable steps to maintain their safety at all times.
