Kitchen garden 

Due to the hard work of our Year 4 students, our garden has been producing a plethora of vegetables for us to use in the kitchen. Students have been watering the garden daily in order to keep our garden looking extremely healthy. We are now in the middle of building our summer garden which will be situated next to Mrs Morrison's room. Thank you to the parents and the community for your continued support of these new learning areas for our students. The engagement from students has been through the roof.

Mobile learning

Stage 3 is currently using new technology in the classrooms. Year 6 students, collaborate and effectively communicate through the use of applications such as Google apps and Office 365. Students are meeting higher expectations and engaging in their learning through a safe secure nurturing environment.
