Head of Community & Welfare, Junior School - Michelle Sprenger
Dear Parents and Carers,
This term our Junior School has been focused on exploring Social Justice as our collective unit of inquiry. From Prep to Stage 3, students have asked big questions, researched ideas, and created projects that explore what it means to act with fairness, kindness and courage. Next Tuesday afternoon, families are warmly invited to our Junior School Exhibition, where students will proudly share their learning. Come along to see their ideas, ask questions, and enjoy learning from the children as they proudly present their passion projects.
Our Father’s Day Event is on tomorrow! Book your tickets and join us from 4:15pm for plenty of family fun navigating giant inflatable obstacle courses, enjoying delicious food, and celebrating together in great community.
