Year 4 Trip to East Head
Year 4 really enjoyed their visit to East Head on Wednesday and we were lucky that the rain held off. First, we made sandcastles, spaced one metre apart from the shoreline up the beach to see how the tide came in. Next, we pretended we were waves and ran up and down the beach with…

The most important parts of the Independence Days are that children are in positions where they need to make choices, to problem solve and feel like they are in real world situations, whilst still having adults around to support them. Form VI’s trip to the Metrobank in Guildford was the epitome of this goal. The children…
