At our assemblies (which happen every fortnight) the specialist teachers (Art, Science, Music, Phys. Ed.) hand out ..read more

Ugh, pass me a couple of matchsticks, I need something to keep my eyes open with. The first week back, the first day back, is a tough ask; it’s like travelling overseas and trying to cope with jet lag from the change in timezones. I could sooo easily get used to long lie-ins, sleepy mornings ..read more

We all need to take care of ourselves! I can’t think of any issue on a personal level more important than our own mental well-being. For too many it’s something that we come to realise mostly when it’s way too late, when our mental health has taken a hit and we are left with the ..read more

It’s only day one of this week and the students already feel like they’ve run a marathon. To be fair, they sort of have. This week we had our annual school cross country race, where the whole school runs around a course specifically set for their year level. It was about a 2 kilometre track ..read more

Well, okay, the title of this post is a little deceptive. Things aren’t really going swimmingly, we are actually going swimming! Last week and this week have all been about swimming lessons and the students have been having a great time at the local pool. It’s been fascinating to see them develop their skills as ..read more
