From the Heart; a Leadership Reflection
Service in action; Year 6 students shine at Regents Garden
In last week’s blog, we explored “Service” as one of our school’s core values. This week, our Year 6 students brought this value to life through a meaningful service learning experience at Regents Garden.
During their visit, students connected with residents through word games, demonstrating kindness, patience and a genuine desire to engage. Their thoughtful approach created a warm and joyful atmosphere, leaving a lasting impact on everyone involved.
This opportunity allowed students to put teamwork and empathy into practice. They supported each other, adapted to the needs of the residents and built connections that deepened their understanding of what it truly means to serve others.
We couldn’t be prouder of our Year 6 students. Their impeccable manners, respect and attentiveness embodied the very essence of our school’s values. The smiles they brought to the residents and staff were a testament to their compassionate hearts and willingness to give back to the community.
Inspired by their experience, many of our students have expressed a desire to return and continue their service. We encourage families to find ways to engage in volunteering together. Whether big or small, these acts of kindness help build empathy, strengthen family bonds and create a culture of care within our broader community.
Yours in service

Harmony Day
We will be celebrating Harmony Day on Friday 21 March. Students are encouraged to wear an orange t-shirt on the day. This is not a fundraising event, it’s a day where we are reminded of the importance of cultural diversity. A very special buddy session will be held in the afternoon and we look forward to sharing some pictures of the event with our community soon.
Congratulations to our swimmers!
A huge congratulations to all Year 3 to 6 swimmers for their outstanding efforts and contribution to the success of our 2025 Swimming Carnival! Your dedication, sportsmanship, and team spirit were truly commendable.
A special congratulations to Parresia, this year’s champion, who proudly received the Swimming Shield at our Assembly last Friday.
