A year at our school
Introducing Our 2026 School Leaders
We are proud to introduce our student leaders for 2026! These students have been selected to represent and guide our school community throughout the year. We look forward to their contributions, leadership, and commitment to making our school a positive and inspiring place for everyone.
National Ride to School Day
Our school joined in National Ride to School Day, encouraging students to ride, scoot, or walk to school. It was a fun and active way to promote healthy habits, reduce traffic, and enjoy the fresh air. Well done to everyone who participated!
Small Schools SRC Connection
Our Year 6 Student Representative Council (SRC) leaders were invited to attend the Small Schools SRC Leadership Day alongside SRC leaders from Geurie, Eumungerie and Tooraweenah Public Schools at Wambangalang Environmental Education Centre.
This excursion provided an opportunity for students to connect with other SRC members across our Small Schools Network while developing their leadership, teamwork and confidence. Thank you to Isaiah for capturing the photos from the day.
Play, Laugh, Learn
At our school, learning extends far beyond the classroom. During recess and lunch breaks, students enjoy soccer, handball, table tennis, playground adventures, mud kitchen, and construction play, making new friends and staying active. Every game, laugh, and moment of play is full of imagination, energy, teamwork, and fun, showing that play is just as important as learning.
Learning Language, Sharing Culture
Each week, the students participate in Wiradjuri language lessons led by Uncle Rod Towney. We also welcome visiting teachers who share their knowledge, culture, and learning experiences with us.
Special Visit from the Penrith Panthers
In Week 4, we were lucky to welcome some representatives from the Penrith Panthers to our school. Jack, Dale, Zac and Zac spent time speaking with students about the importance of staying healthy, including good sleep habits, staying hydrated and eating well. Students then enjoyed heading outside to throw a ball around and put their skills into practice.
A big thank you to the team for taking the time to visit our school and share such valuable messages with our students. We really appreciated the opportunity and everyone had a fantastic time.
