Stories and highlights

School Disco

To celebrate the end of Term 2, students enjoyed a fun-filled disco on the deck, marking their achievements from Semester 1. With music pumping, bubbles floating through the air, and colourful lights, the atmosphere was full of energy and excitement. Students danced enthusiastically while waving streamers, adding to the festive vibe. A sausage sizzle topped off the afternoon, making it a memorable way to recognise everyone’s hard work and celebrate together as a school community.

Hatching Chicks

Lyrebird Class has been excitedly hosting the hatching chicks as part of a hands-on learning experience. Students have been able to watch the chicks hatch, observe their growth, and gently hold them as they become more confident. This experience has taught students about life cycles, responsibility, and the importance of caring for living things. It has also sparked curiosity and wonder, helping students connect classroom learning with the real world in a fun and memorable way.

NAIDOC Assembly

Five Islands School celebrated NAIDOC Week with a special visit from a local school Aboriginal dance group. The performers shared powerful traditional dances that highlighted the richness and strength of First Nations culture. Students watched with interest and were invited to get involved by using clapping sticks to keep the rhythm, creating an inclusive and engaging experience. The event was a meaningful way to honour Aboriginal culture and foster understanding and respect within the school community.
