Friendship and Creativity on Stage

Foundation S recently delighted us with a charming assembly performance on stage in our Performing Arts Centre. The theme was Friendship and each student shared their ideas on what it means to be a good friend. 

Their heartfelt rendition of Side by Side was a joy to witness. It’s remarkable to see such confidence from students who have been in school for less than six months. Congratulations to Miss Stephenson and her talented students for a beautiful presentation! 

Last week 5C hosted our Junior School assembly with a creative performance inspired by the book The Wild Robot. Students crafted their own scripts, dressed as animals from different biomes and explained each animal's unique adaptations. Their presentation concluded with the uplifting song On Top of the World. Well done to Miss Collins and 5C for a wonderful performance! 

I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend and found time to relax with family.

Reid House Book Drive – A Wonderful Success!

Over the past two weeks our school community rallied together to support 123Read2Me, a charity helping students who have limited access to reading materials. Led by Reid House the initiative collected books for children who may not have many at home or attend schools without well-stocked libraries.

Thanks to the generosity of our students, families and staff we collected an impressive 620 books. Each book represents an opportunity – a chance for a child to learn, dream and explore new worlds.

On behalf of Reid House thank you to everyone who donated. Your generosity has made a meaningful difference.

Year 1 & 2 Combined House Meetings

Last week, our Year 1 and Year 2 students came together for their first combined House meetings. It was heartening to see our youngest learners building friendships, showing kindness, and working as part of a team.
