A report on the "Buddies Group" from Publishing Team members Nicholas and Jason
Year 6 run the “Buddy Group” every lunchtime. Our dedicated Year 6 group are always helping the Kindergarten children to make new friends through this activity. They play many fun and active games such as foam ball bowling; going across stepping stones; a challenge of skipping; and much more. There are seven Year 6 children working with them each day, and 14 in the whole group. The Kindergarten children are laughing and smiling every day because these Year 6 children put so much effort into making lunchtime fun. These Kindergarten children rely on the Year 6’s to welcome them into Saint Paul’s.

Our lunchtime gardening club with Mr Barrie is always a popular choice for our youngest children. They proudly wanted to share the recent 'harvest' from Term 4. The children were shocked and ecstatic when they reached down and pulled out baby carrots, ready for the reindeers this Christmas! 🎄Given the size of this harvest, let's hope the reindeers are well fed on Christmas Eve 😂 Thank you Barrie, for sharing your time with our youngest children, your biggest fans!

Year 4 got into the festive spirit today with a grade Christmas Party! We enjoyed listening to Christmas carols, making some Christmas craft and cards, and eating snacks with our friends. What a fabulous end to an amazing year! We were even lucky enough to get a special visit from one of our friends who moved to England earlier this year! What a great day 🎄

Huge shout-out to our amazing Senior Drama Team! These talented students gave up their lunchtime once a week to rehearse, film and perfect the movie shown at our Christmas Concert. Their commitment, teamwork and creativity truly brought the story to life on screen. We are so proud of the effort they put in and the final result — what a wonderful way to share their talents with our school community.
