Stage 3 got a little marsh-mellow but a lot more mighty in today’s team-building challenge! 🍡 Using only spaghetti and marshmallows, students worked together to design and build houses developing leadership skills, communication and resilience along the way. They really rose to the challenge and stuck with it!

Sharing Hope and Joy This Advent Our wonderful Faith in Action Team, together with our whole school community, has been busy creating handmade Christmas cards to deliver throughout our local area. Reflecting the spirit of Advent, each card carries a simple but powerful message of hope, joy, and connection. Research reminds us that receiving a handmade card can have a meaningful impact, bringing moments of encouragement, warmth, and positivity to wellbeing. Small gestures truly matter. We are incredibly proud of our students for showing what it means to be inclusive, compassionate, and mindful of others beyond ourselves, especially at this time of year. May these cards brighten the days of those who receive them, and may we continue to spread kindness wherever we go.
