A primary school right in the heart of Ballarat with OSHC. Empowering our students to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others.

Our Term 2 Inquiry - What's My Impact? is provoking lots of thinking in our students. Some ideas and wonderings we are seeing via Seesaw are:

Wonderings:

- why do people throw rubbish in the ocean?

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

This term we will be presenting students and families with RESILIENCE AWARDS!

We recognize the incredible work ALL families are putting in at this time and wanted to include parent/carers in our award while we are learning from home.

The first parent/carer awardee is Sarah Parkyn - for enthusiasm, a positive attitude & supporting her children with their learning from home activities 👍

We will mail these awards out to families next week with our fortnightly mail out of student activity work. ... See more
