As part of our year 5/6 HASS unit, students explored how Australian communities prepare for and respond to natural disasters such as bushfires. We were fortunate to have local firefighters visit our school and share their knowledge about fire safety, smoke alarms, different types of fires, emergency exits, and the important role firefighters play in keeping communities safe. Students had the opportunity to ask questions, explore a fire truck, try using a fire hose, and learn about the protective equipment firefighter’s wear. This hands-on experience helped students better understand how severe weather events and emergencies are managed in Australia and how being prepared can help keep people safe.

Our Upper Primary Korfball Tournament was a fantastic day filled with teamwork, encouragement, leadership and outstanding sportsmanship! 🏀👏

Throughout the day, learners supported one another and showed positive attitudes both on and off the court. It was wonderful to see so many classes come out to watch the games and cheer everyone on, creating an exciting atmosphere for all involved.

One of the highlights of the day was the parent and teacher versus student games, which brought lots of laughter, fun and friendly competition. A huge thank you to the parents and teachers who volunteered their time to play against each team!

Korfball is a dynamic mixed-gender sport that combines elements of basketball and netball, and our students did an amazing job showcasing their skills and teamwork throughout the tournament. Well done to everyone involved! 🎉
