Myuna Farm Excursion
On Friday the 18th of October the Junior School enjoyed an exciting excursion to Myuna Farm, where they experienced what life is like on a working farm. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best, but it didn't stop the students enjoying a day full of fun and educational activities where they were able to connect to nature and animals.
From the moment the students arrived, they were greeted with the sounds of mooing cows, gobbling turkeys and crowing rosters. The students had the opportunity to feed and interact with a range of animals, including sheep, goats, rabbits and even guinea pigs!
An exciting part of the day was milking the goats. Each student had a turn and learned how farmers milk their goats by hand. One of the highlights of the day was the tractor ride around the farm.
The Myuna Farm excursion was great day filled with hands on learning and although the weather was wet, it didn't dampen anyone's spirits.

Bunnings volunteers helping to add colour to the school | |
| Earlier in the week, Lyn Kellow from Bunnings Frankston came in with 4 other volunteers to help do some work around the school. The volunteers were from different Bunnings stores around the Peninsula. I would like to thank them on behalf of the community for donating plants, paint and time to the school. A lot of the school community have commened on the works and really like the added colour in the playground. I would also like to thank Taubmans Paint for donating the paint for the garden beds and sheds. |   |
