  Kaya Well, we are getting close to the end of the year so there are some projects that are coming to fruition.  One of those is the Junior Archie project that the Year 6's have been working on after learning a little about the Archibald Prize portrait competition.   The students have worked on a number of techniques to assist with drawing facial features and have had a number of lessons in class to plan, draft and commence their final portrait.  On Onenote, students have access to the videos we watched to practice these techniques and the rubric that will be used to assess the final piece.  Students have been advised that they will have this weekend and next to complete this final portrait.  Can you please support your child to have this portrait completed and submitted by Wednesday 15 November. Thanks for your ongoing support Mr Mc

  K AY A, Wow, what an incredible occasion Confirmation was! Most importantly it was a special team effort!  A massive shout out to the Confirmation candidates who made themselves and their families very proud on the night and of course to our AMAZING buddies who celebrated with us with reverence and respect every step of the way! Well done to the entire Year 6 group for their preparation and hard work in preparing for this sacrament; which included their Saint biography, Saint box and Oral presentation. The student's Saint boxes were wonderfully prepared and presented with a wealth of information. You will be able to view the marks of your child and pictures to support on Seesaw very soon.  Year 6 Cultural Incursion The Year 6 students were very lucky to have a cultural incursion with the amazing Josh Whiteland from Koomal Dreaming.  The students had the wonderful experience of creating a journey stick for graduation. Josh, worked with the students all morning and t...
