On Friday 31 October, we held our very first Junior School Science Day and it was a magnificent success. The purpose was to promote the wonderful world of Science and engage the students in hands-on experiences. The students were combined in science groups across two different grades. It was great to see older and younger students collaborating and connecting together as a community of learners. I want to thank Mrs Abecina for her leadership in making this excellent learning event happen.
As we begin to look towards 2026, we will be carefully considering the placement of every student in classes for the following year. I sometimes get requests from families about a particular combination of students that they feel would work best or requests for a teacher they think may be a good fit. We look to create class communities that are best for learning. In light of this, we keep in mind a range of factors such as academics, friendship groups, social/emotional needs and medical issues. Request regarding class allocations can be sent to Mrs Kami [email protected] (EA to Head of Junior School). We value the input of families and consider parent requests, however, we cannot guarantee they will be met as we are balancing the big picture for a cohort of students. Further information about accessing 2026 class allocations will be sent later this term. I assure you that the team values every student in this process.
Later this term on Friday 28 November we will hold a “Moving Up Day,” where all grades from Prep to Year 5 will spend time learning in their new building for next year. The purpose is to provide a positive experience for students as they look forward to the next part of their educational journey and to build and excitement for the future grade ahead. This is a part of our transition program and new students joining the College in 2026 will also be a part of this day.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on y our own understanding. In all your way acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.
