Year 5 Pre-Eisteddfod music workshop
The Year 5s took over the new JC on the second last day of school for their Pre-Eisteddfod Band Workshop!
The new campus was filled with musical sounds as students spent a session working in focused small sectional rehearsals with guest tutors before coming together as an incredible full 47-piece concert band. This was the first opportunity for many of our young musicians to play alongside students who share the same instrument from the other campus, and the excitement was impossible to miss!
We are incredibly proud of the effort and positivity shown by all students and can't wait to see them take the stage at the Eisteddfod. What an exciting glimpse into the future of our music program!

Project Based Learning at ÌÇÐÄÖ±²¥
Junior College
From the Junior College Directors of Campus
Welcome back to Term 3. This week marks a significant milestone in ÌÇÐÄÖ±²¥â€™s history as we brought together our two Junior Campuses into one Junior College community. After many years and months of planning and preparation, it has been exciting to see students learning, playing and connecting in our new environment. There was a great sense of energy throughout the week as students explored their new learning spaces and settled into new routines. Transitions of this scale inevitably come with a few challenges along the way, and we would like to sincerely thank parents for their patience, understanding and support as we work through any teething issues. The positive partnership between home and school has been greatly appreciated.
One of the highlights of the week was attending our Semester 2 Opening Service as a whole College community. Being able to walk together to the service, was a simple but powerful reminder of the benefits of being located together on one site. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to gather alongside the wider ÌÇÐÄÖ±²¥ community and begin the semester united in worship.
Today, our Years 3–6 students participated in the Track and Field Carnival. It was pleasing to see students giving their best, encouraging one another and proudly supporting their House teams. The team spirit and sportsmanship displayed throughout the day were outstanding. Thank you to Mr Fry for the significant work involved in planning and running such a successful event.
Next Wednesday, our Year 4 students will travel to Tallebudgera for camp. School camps provide valuable opportunities for students to develop independence, resilience, teamwork and confidence outside the classroom. They also create experiences that strengthen friendships and contribute positively to students' overall development. We wish all of our Year 4 students a safe and enjoyable camp.
As we finish our first week of Term 3, we would like to thank our students, staff and families for helping make this transition such a positive one. We look forward to seeing students continue to settle into their new surroundings and routines over the coming weeks. As always, if there is anything further we can do to support your child, please don't hesitate to contact your child's classroom teacher. Open communication and strong partnerships between home and school are important in ensuring every student has a successful term.
We wish all families a wonderful Term 3.
Blessings for the week ahead.

To help keep traffic flowing efficiently and ensure the safety of all students, please take note of the following reminders:
