Prime Minister Award

‘Being a steward of creation’, ‘Trying your best’, ‘Speaking with kindness’ and ‘Being a responsible learner’ are some of the qualities that teachers consider when awarding ‘Prime Minister’ at our weekly assembly. It is an acknowledgement of the student’s efforts and they have the privilege of wearing the badge with honour, of suggesting a focus the school can work on, award Gotchas to other students at lunch time as well as earning Gotchas for themselves. Congratulations goes to Samuel Ungaro (Week 3)

Year 5 Formation

Last week, our Year 5 students participated in a meaningful Formation Day focused on the theme of servant leadership. The day was filled with engaging activities and thoughtful reflections as students explored what it means to be a great leader. Drawing inspiration from the life and teachings of Jesus, they considered the qualities that make a leader truly impactful—such as compassion, courage, humility, and service to others. It was wonderful to see our students so involved and reflective, growing in their understanding of leadership. 

SOCKTOBER

Our Socktober event was a wonderful success, with students showing great generosity and spirit to support World Mission Month. Donations collected will help mothers in Zambia feed their children and build a brighter future.
