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.

It doesn't take expensive resources or hours of extra time. Often, it's the small, everyday habits that make the biggest difference.

The year 5’s had a bit of a change of scenery for their English lesson today. After spending their writing lesson taking note of what they saw, smelt, felt and heard on our beautiful back paddock. They spent their 15 minutes of reading soaking up some well needed sun ☀️☀️

Today Mrs Henebery continued our High Potential and Gifted Enrichment Numeracy Program, providing students with greater extension and challenge through the depth, breadth and pace of instruction. This week’s learning focused on authentic financial planning, where students used Google Sheets to investigate budgeting, apply spreadsheet formulas and make informed financial decisions. Through this rich mathematical investigation, students strengthened their problem-solving, reasoning, communication and digital literacy skills while applying mathematics in a real-world context. We are so proud of the students’ enthusiasm, perseverance and willingness to embrace challenge. It was wonderful to see them collaborating, thinking critically and confidently explaining the mathematical strategies they used to solve complex problems.
