The Weekly Wrap – Term 4 Week 3 – 2024

This year, our school proudly entered all three Commissioner’s Digital Challenge competitions: Learn to Speak Robot, Zoom Out, and Space to Dream. We achieved an incredible 2nd place in the Learn to Speak Robot/Zoom Out categories.

This is the third consecutive year we have achieved in the top 3 achieving schools in the state!

Additionally, two students, Piper S and Ayla C, were recognised as ‘Top Rated’ for their Space to Dream designs.

A huge thank you to Carly Smith for her excellent leadership and coordination of this Challenge. Read more about our success on here: Commissioner’s Digital Challenge Success

On Friday morning, our students had a fantastic opportunity to perform with the Just Add Music band.
