“It’s an opportunity to recognise the power of learning to inspire, connect and create opportunities,” principal Claye Runnalls said.
To showcase students’ creativity and skills, an art competition and a spelling bee will take place during the week.
“Students have been working hard on their individual art pieces to display,” Mr Runnalls said.
Families are invited to attend a spelling bee on Friday, May 22 with students prepared to dazzle after practising in class and year level competitions.
This reflects the school’s focus on fostering quality literacy, numeracy, critical thinking and wellbeing in young people.
In fact, Mr Runnalls said every day was an open day for prospective families who wanted to check out these lessons in action.
“We love to showcase the quality teaching and learning that happens each day,” he said.
“Our school is unique in the structure of our teaching and learning, and our commitment to helping our students grow, learn and succeed in their own way.”
One way the school fosters a supportive environment is through events such as its Mental Health Awareness afternoon.
Guest speakers from the Black Dog Institute and an ambassador from R U OK? helped start important conversations around mental health in the school community.
“Students and families participated in a variety of fun and meaningful activities organised by the school council and school staff,” Mr Runnalls said.
A range of other activities, from dance club and martial arts to production and Lego club, allow students to expand their learning beyond the classroom.
“We value connection, inclusion and creating opportunities for all students to thrive,” Mr Runnalls said.
