DOJO CHALLENGE THIS WEEK!
I think it’s safe to say that our Primary students are some of the most creative and imaginative students I have known and this week’s Fun Dojo challenge allowed their talents in these areas to really shine. They were tasked with creating unique representations of the House Mascots and they certainly produced these! I saw some fabulous drawings, creations using a range of materials and some beautiful creations of each House Mascot!
Gaya Pangolins and Sulug Sharks were our joint Dojo Challenge Champions this week! Congratulations to everyone who took part.

LIFE THRU A LENS
The return of our popular Life Thru a Lens competition saw an amazing array of photos submitted to show the theme “New Beginnings”. Primary students took some really interesting photos that represented this theme and our staff judges had a very difficult decision to choose the winners.
Judging and voting has been going on all week and we were proud to reveal the overall winners during our Weekly Assembly at the end of the week. One winner was chosen from each House in each Key Stage and they will have their photo printed and displayed on the walls of the Primary Key Stage Office.
Please join me in congratulating the winners and admire their amazing photos for New Beginnings!
