🏆🏆 ✈️🛩🚀🛬🛫🪂🏆🏆 Our Inaugural Paper Plane Competition was a dream from Yr 3 students Will and Raff. Heats were held throughout the week, and the Grandfinal was held this morning in front of the whole school. Finalists ranged from Kindy to Yr 5 and the designs and strategies were varied. Congratulations to all for your participation and excitement you brought to the playground this week. Perhaps we have some future QANTAS or NASA pilots or engineers of the future!! Our final results saw only 3cm separating first and second place. Congratulations! 🥇Will D (Yr 5) 🥈Raff (Yr 3) 🥉Vincent (Yr 2)

Today, our Year 4 students led the school in a beautiful and solemn Remembrance Day prayer service. Together, we paused to reflect on the many lives lost in service to our country and the sacrifices made for our freedom. Our students read with sincerity and respect, and their stunning poppy artwork display provided a powerful backdrop for this meaningful occasion. The entire school community came together in reverence and gratitude, ensuring that the spirit of remembrance lives on in our hearts. ❤️
