Our campus is buzzing with excitement as we dive into another incredible year of learning, exploration, and opportunity! From Prep to Year 12, our students are spoiled for choice, with countless ways to get involved and grow.
One of the most delightful events so far has been the Gingerbread Man hunt for our Prep students last week. Using literacy as a foundation—and a touch of theatrical magic—staff from all over the campus joined in the fun, helping students search high and low for clues about the runaway Gingerbread Men! Activities like these make stories come alive, deepening students’ comprehension as they recall key events from the beginning, middle, and end of the tale. When adults actively engage in a child’s learning journey, it reinforces just how important and valued their education is.
Beyond the classroom, our vibrant campus is brimming with activity. Choir, musical rehearsals, instrumental music, touch football, volleyball, netball, basketball, and the Mueller Worship band are just a few of the programs already in full swing. Among all these opportunities, our students are showing remarkable resilience—stepping into new experiences, taking risks, and persevering even when things don’t come easily. It takes real courage to try something new, and time and again, we see our students rising to the challenge. We are committed to fostering an environment where a growth mindset encourages them to embrace learning with confidence and curiosity.
As your child returns home each day, know that they have navigated a world of challenges, both big and small. Some of these they may eagerly share with you, while others may be felt more than spoken. A calm, caring presence at home makes all the difference, providing the support they need to process and reflect on their experiences.
Thank you for allowing us to walk alongside you and your family on this incredible learning journey. It is a privilege to nurture and support each child on our campus, and we deeply value the partnership we share with you.
