Grade 6 Graduation, Academic Excellence Awards and School Captains for 2024

Grade 6 Activity Day 2023
On Thursday 14th December the Grade 6 students celebrated their final year of primary school by spending the day in Frankston doing some fun activities.
Once everyone arrived at the meeting point, they set off on a walk around Frankston to look at some of the amazing street art displayed on the walls of many buildings before arriving at Beauty Park for a short break.
After that the students went to Strike Bowling where they played 2 games of Laser Tag. It was very hot running around in the dark, but Jayden managed to get the highest score for hitting the most targets.
Next the students had a game of bowling. Chayce, Levi, Jasper and Mr Hurford managed to get a strike, but Mr Hurford was the overall winner!
To finish off the fun filled day, the students broke off into teams for a round of mini golf at Holey Moley.
The students had a great time, and I am sure they all slept well that night!
