International Sushi DayOn Tuesday 18th June, many students celebrated International Sushi Day with a sushi roll and/or rice paper roll. It was a lovely lunch!
Stargazing Night
We had an AMAZING response to our Stargazing Night on Thursday. 300 members of our community (students/parents/families) braved the cold and enjoyed looking up at the moon. The event was hosted by the Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society at our school. Everyone present had the opportunity to learn about the Night Sky (including stars and planets) from expert astronomers, and use state of the art telescopes and binoculars to observe the craters on the Moon and get spectacular views of the planets.
Thank you to the Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society for hosting the event, and to Mary Johnston for her expertise in organising a fantastic and informative event.

Fundraising Update - 21st June 2024
This year our fundraising efforts will be put towards updating and improving the area outside the office near the Montessori rooms.
The plan is to turn the area into a quiet space where students can read, play board or card games and generally relax during recess or lunch if they don't feel like running around.
With the funds raised at recent events, we have purchased a brand new popcorn machine and a school branded marquee (which you may have spotted at our star gazing night!) These new additions will enhance our school events and activities helping to creating even more memorable experiences for our students.
