Head of Primary Message Week 31



Sleepovers, Swim Galas, and Spellbinding Performances


It’s been another action-packed week in Primary, and as we head into the final stretch of the term, the energy (and volume) across the campus is as high as ever.


Our Year 4 adventurers returned this week from their sleepover in Seria, and what a brilliant time they had. This is an important step in our progression through school, starting with the upcoming Year 3 sleepover on campus, then heading further afield to Seria, and onwards to the Temburong camp in Year 5 and international trips in Year 6.


In Seria, Year 4 explored local flora, fauna, and wildlife, enjoyed the beach, went bowling, played outdoors, and (believe it or not) didn’t touch a device the entire time, apart from the all-important bedtime movie and popcorn. The food was delicious, the programme was packed, and almost everyone even managed to sleep. Huge thanks to the team of staff who made the experience so memorable, your energy, patience and sense of humour were key ingredients to the success.


Speaking of heading overseas, we want to wish the very best of luck to our Year 5 & 6 FOBISIA squad, who are travelling to Thailand this weekend. These students have shown real commitment and determination in their training, and we’re sure they’ll do us proud. I suspect they’ll be coming home with a fist full of medals too.



Making a Splash 🏊

Today saw our Year 3 to 6 students take to the pool for the annual Swim Gala, and what a splash it was. It was fantastic to see every child get the chance to compete, no matter their level. These events are more than just races, they give students the chance to stretch themselves, apply the skills they’ve been building in lessons, and learn the value of both teamwork and individual effort. Some classes even warmed up by watching Olympic races before diving in. Huge thanks to our PE and Swim teams for the organisation and to all our students for their sportsmanship and competitive spirit.



Spellbound 🪄

We also had a magical moment this morning with a preview performance from our upcoming school production, The One Who Lived. Primary students were utterly spellbound as they watched the cast bring the wizarding world to life. It’s not just about what happens on stage, experiences like this are where confidence grows, friendships form, and students realise the value of being part of something bigger. For some, this is their very first step toward a future on the stage, and I’m sure it’s one they’ll never forget. Don't miss the full production, it's shaping up to be something very special.



🆕 Canteen System 🍱

Finally, a quick reminder that our new canteen ordering system is now up and running. It’s been designed to improve the service for all families, and I’ve already sent out many login details. If you need yours, just use the link posted in Seesaw to request it. And as always, if you need any help, feel free to message me directly on Seesaw.



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


Mr Michael Everett | Head of Primary
