Head of Primary Message Week 29

Thank you 🙏

A heartfelt thank you to all who joined us for today’s Celebration of Learning morning. It was a wonderful opportunity for you to step into the school day, experience your children’s learning first-hand, and take part in the vibrant life of our classrooms.

The morning began on a high note, literally. Year 4 opened the event with confident and joyful renditions of two songs linked to their topic on Inventions and Inventors. A huge well done to all the Year 4 students for setting the tone with such enthusiasm and poise.

Not to be outshone, Year 2 brought the event to a joyful close with a karaoke-style singalong in their outdoor area, performing a cheerful number all about living in the moment. The smiles on the faces of parents, children, and teachers said it all, thank you to Year 2 for such a happy finale.

Over in Year 5, parents were treated to a very special fashion show, showcasing hand-sewn t-shirts designed and created entirely by the students. Inspired by their learning around fast fashion, these garments were tailor-made with their parents in mind, and yes, worn by the parents themselves on the catwalk. It was very clear that for some, this was not their first time under the spotlight…

Elsewhere in the school, classrooms were buzzing with activity as parents joined in with Reading, Writing, Maths, Science, and a host of other subjects. It was a delight to see students taking pride in their work and confidently guiding their parents through their recent learning.

Although the Pre Kindy and Kindy Swim Gala was postponed due to the weather (lightning and rain had other plans), it was lovely to still welcome parents into the learning environment. The swim event will be rescheduled for next week, and we’ll keep you posted.

Events like this are about more than showcasing learning, they’re about building a strong, supportive community. It’s healthy and inspiring for children to see that their learning exists within a wider network of support, where parents are actively engaged and fully invested.

Thank you once again for your time, energy, and enthusiasm.

Looking ahead, next week is Book Week. We have lots of exciting activities planned, culminating in our Book Day Dress-Up on Wednesday, we can’t wait to see the creativity on show.

If you have any questions about any aspect of school life, please do not hesitate to message in Seesaw.

📌 At a glance

🎶 Year 4 and Year 2 performances bookended the morning with music, confidence, and joy, what a way to open and close the event.

👕 Year 5’s fast fashion-inspired catwalk had parents modelling student-made t-shirts, clearly not their first runway rodeo.

📚 Parents immersed themselves in classrooms, engaging in everything from Science to Writing, with students proudly leading the way.

🌧️ Despite the Swim Gala postponement, Pre Kindy and Kindy still welcomed parents into the learning space—rescheduled date coming soon.
