Year 5 had an incredible day stepping back in time! Students tried their hand at gold panning, cooked delicious damper, made mud bricks, and even built tents. They explored the museum, listened carefully to our knowledgeable guides, and discovered so much about life in the gold rush era. To top it off, they joined in some old-time games — a perfect way to bring history to life!

With most of Year 5 at the Basketball Gala Day today, things looked a little different for students at school. The morning kicked off with an exciting Mathematics Treasure Hunt, where students worked as a team to solve challenging problems, unlocking clues that led them closer to the final problem. It was wonderful to see so much teamwork, problem-solving, and laughter as they raced around the school putting their math skills to the test. What a fun and creative way to start the day!
