Curriculum connecting with the community

Excursions are a wonderful way for children to extend their learning beyond the classroom, providing opportunities to connect with nature, explore new ideas, and experience the joy of learning in different environments. This week our Year 2 students had the pleasure of visiting Floriade, and what an incredible day it was!

The sun was shining, the gardens were in full bloom, and the children were absolutely delighted by the colourful displays. They explored the grounds with curiosity and enthusiasm, taking inspiration from the vibrant surroundings to create their own fabulous pieces of art. It was a joy to see their creativity flourish in such a beautiful setting.

Our students represented the school with pride, showing wonderful manners, teamwork, and respect throughout the day. It was a proud moment to watch them engage so positively, supporting one another and sharing in the excitement of the excursion.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our amazing parent helpers - Jaye, Ruby, Al, Kellie, Irene, Marie, and Belinda, who gave up their time to be with us. Without your support, such a busy day would not have been possible, and we are so grateful for everything you do to strengthen our school community.

We also want to recognise the outstanding work of our inclusion staff — Fletcher, Alyssa, Grace and Mackenzie who ensured every child was supported and able to participate fully. Their care and dedication helped make the day a success for all.

It was truly a day filled with fun, learning, creativity, and joy. We know our Year 2 students will hold these memories for years to come!

Yr 1 are looking forward to going on excursion to the National Gallery on Monday and Yr 6 to the Museum of Australian Democracy on Wednesday.
