Reception to Year 3 Sports Morning Highlights
What a fantastic morning filled with energy, enthusiasm, and House spirit at our Reception to Year 3 Sports Morning! The girls gave their all across a range of activities, including shot put, cricket, javelin, long jump and more.
A huge thank you to our dedicated staff, supportive families, and enthusiastic students for making the event such a success. It was wonderful to see such determination, teamwork, and joy on display throughout the morning.

House Spirit Shines at Emily Centre
Students from Reception to Year 3 came together on Thursday in their House Groups to explore the wonderful facilities of the Emily Centre. This was an enjoyable opportunity for students across different year levels to spend time together and to further foster meaningful connections.
Activities included yoga, parachute games, mindfulness bookmark making, relay races, coloured craft, a tallest tower building competition, and a dance party. Each activity was chosen to encourage participation, cooperation, and a little friendly competition.
A key focus of the day was cross-peer relationship building — giving students the chance to interact with peers outside their own classrooms and year groups. Mixing across House Groups allowed older students to take on quiet leadership roles while younger students gained confidence in a new setting. A lovely day, full of wonderful House Spirit!

A Memorable Year 4 Camp Experience in the Adelaide Hills
Our Year 4 students recently enjoyed an exciting and rewarding camp at Woodhouse in the Adelaide Hills.
Throughout the experience, the girls embraced a range of activities including tackling Challenge Hill, participating in traditional Aboriginal games, creating Aboriginal symbol paintings, cooking fish, and navigating the labyrinth.
It was wonderful to see the way students collaborated, supported one another, and applied strong problem-solving skills in new and challenging situations. The camp was a memorable experience that strengthened friendships and built resilience in a fun and engaging environment.
