Prep Enrolments 2025
Our final round of ‘Prep Discussions’ will take place on Monday. It has been wonderful to meet our newest learners and their families and we are excited to welcome them to our school. Our ‘Get Set for Prep’ stay and play sessions will take place next term, families are encouraged to book into a session with their little one to help familiarise them with our environment and staff.
Prep Orientation morning will be held on 11th November. All Prep students enrolled for 2025 are encouraged to attend this session.
Outdoor Toy Request
Our Prep and Year 1 students love playing with cars and trucks (big and small). In the interest of sustainability, we are seeking donations of outdoor toys (cars and trucks) you may no longer be using in your home. These can be brought in and left near the Prep sandpit.

As teachers, we provide learning experiences that require students to stretch their thinking and come to grips with new ideas. Sometimes learning is hard, and it is in these moments of struggle that deep learning and growth occurs. How can you help your child build resilience? Here are a few ideas to try..

Chess Champ
Leo, one of our amazing Prep students, played in his first school chess tournament last Sunday, the Brisbane Primary Term 3 tournament, with children from all over Brisbane and beyond. Leo came first in the Prep/Year 1 division.
