McClelland Gallery Excursion 2024
On Wednesday the 6th of November, our entire school enjoyed a fantastic excursion to McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park. With the sun shining, students and teachers set off on foot to the gallery ready for a day of creativity, exploration, and fun.
The adventure included a walk around the park, where students saw many unique outdoor sculptures from towering abstract pieces to hidden pieces art among the trees. Students also explored the gallery indoors, where intricate artworks were on display. This air conditioned area provided a cooling break from the heat.
Students then had the chance to take a peaceful stroll around the lake to see some of the local wildlife whilst enjoying some more of the sculptures placed around the park. Another activity took place in the Bush Hut, here students had the chance to draw their own artwork inspired by what they had seen throughout the day.
After a few hours of walking, learning and creating, everyone was grateful to hop on the bus back to school!
Cooking Yummy Scones with Jam and Cream!
In this hands on session, students learned the basics of baking, from mixing ingredients to kneading dough, and even got to try shaping the scones. To top it all off, each student enjoyed their freshly baked scones with jam and a dollop of cream.
Why not try making scones at home! It is a fun and easy recipe to recreate and the whole family can enjoy them warm with jam and cream. Keep an eye out for more delicious updates as our cooking program continues to bring joy and skills to our students.

Come and enjoy some sausage roll and party pies after the working bee.

School Notice Board - 8th November 2024
Swooping Birds Alert | |
| We have at least 2 swooping Grey Butcher birds hanging around the school. They have swooped when someone walking by themselves. Grey Butcher birds resemble a grey and white, half-sized magpie. Their flight-feathers are black with a white stripe and they have a white patch between the beak and eyes. Grey Butcher birds have a beautiful, melodic warble and a discordant chortling call. They build a strong cup-like nest made of fine twigs, grass and other plant material and breed from July to January. They live in a wide range of woodlands and open forests and are quite common in some urban parks and gardens. Grey Butcher birds, like Australian Magpies, may swoop if they feel threatened. | |
Basketball Family Night | |
| The parents association have organised a family night for anyone to come and play basketball. It is aimed at being a fun evening to just shoot hoops and challenge you children. You may even challenge other families. There won't be any organised games of basketball, just free play on the court. The parents association will be cooking and selling sausages. There will also be a small raffle with some sporting paraphernalia. Please see the basketball article in this newsletter or visit the school website to register your interest in attending. |  |
