Recently, Year 5 went on their first educational overnight experience, to the Bathurst Gold Fields.
During our visit, our tour guides told us about the finding of gold in the 1850s. We had an opportunity to experience what life on the goldfields would have been like. We did lots of different activities such as making damper, making mud bricks, seeing a blacksmith at work, touring the goldfields and gold panning.
At the end of the exhausting day, we all sat around the campfire and did the last activity of the day which was colonial dancing and singing and learning that made Australia famous such as Waltzing Matilda.
On the second day, we visited the Bathurst Cemetery, to learn about our people's history. But before that, we had a chance to go on the Bathurst 1000 track on our coach. While at the cemetery, we had a chance to go on a treasure hunt and learnt about the significant people buried there. We also got to teach our tour guides, Sarah and Gary, The Floss dance and how to Dab.
We had a quick pit stop before heading to Katoomba to go on the Skyrail. We had an amazing time learning and experience the 1850s. We would like to thank our tour guides for all the hard work they put into this experience. We would also like to give a big thank you to our teachers because if it weren’t for them we would never have gone to Bathurst and had so much fun.

Year 6 have been learning about the difference between figurative and abstract art. They created some amazing artworks, showing both real-life images and creative, imaginative designs. Other grades loved visiting the exhibition and were so impressed by the creativity on display. Well done, Year 6!

A big well done to our students who have been elected by their peers to join the Student Representative Council (SRC) this semester. Each of these students was chosen for a variety of reasons—whether it be their kindness, positive attitude, responsibility, willingness to help others, or the way they lead by example. Each semester, more students are added to the SRC to recognise the wide range of achievements and contributions our students make to our school community. We can’t wait to see the great ideas and leadership you bring this semester!

Yesterday we celebrated a very special group of students at our traditional 'Student of the Term' Assembly (Principal's award), followed by a lovely morning tea with Mr Calabria and Mr Cauchi. Each of these students were chosen by their teachers for their consistent effort, kindness, and positive attitude throughout the term. They are quiet achievers, hard workers, and wonderful role models for their peers. It was a joy to acknowledge and celebrate their dedication — we are so proud of them!
