Way to go Ella! What an incredible achievement! ⚽👏

After playing four back-to-back trial games for the Hunter PSSA Soccer Team, Ella was selected in the top 24 players from a field of more than 100 girls to play a fifth trial match. From there, she impressed again and earned a place in the final 12, securing her spot in the Hunter Regional Team! 🎉

We are so proud of Ella's hard work, determination and outstanding effort throughout the trials.

Congratulations – we can't wait to see what comes next! 🐝 🖤💛

⭐️ Infants High Tea with the APs ⭐️
Today we held our first high tea with the APs for 2026 to celebrate students who consistently demonstrate our school's PBL expectations. NSW Department of Education

🐝K6 Yellow have had an action-packed term, full of creativity and learning.
⭐️In Maths, our students explored time, data and measurement, using hands-on activities to measure the length of objects around the classroom.
💛Teamwork was in full bloom as students rolled up their sleeves during gardening. Together, they dug up a brand-new garden bed, planting native plants and fresh vegetables.
⭐️A highlight was a visit from the baby animals, which brought smiles to everyone’s faces.
💛Our athletic spirit shone during the in-school athletics carnival, where students participated in a variety of sports activities and celebrated each other’s achievements.

🏃‍♀️🥚🏅 Each year the rain seems to make a special appearance, but once again our students proved that flexibility, resilience and school spirit can shine through any weather. Despite the showers, our in-school activities and competitive carnival were a huge success! ☔️

From sack races and egg & spoon races to running events, discus and so much more, the day was filled with laughter, encouragement and determination. 👏

A huge thank you to our wonderful staff for the incredible organisation behind the day, and to our families for coming along and supporting our students.

And to our superstars — whether you placed in an event or not, you are winners every single day through the way you show courage, teamwork and resilience. We are so proud of you all! ⭐💙 NSW Department of Education
