HOC News

This term, our students have been enthusiastically engaging in a range of rich learning experiences across the curriculum. A key highlight has been our participation in the National Simultaneous Storytime, where students across all year levels joined in reading and responding to a shared picture book ‘The Truck Cat’. This event sparked wonderful discussions and inspired creative activities in our classrooms.

In English, students have been exploring persuasive texts, developing their ability to express opinions and justify them with reasons. They have enjoyed engaging debates and writing persuasive pieces on topics that matter to them. Our Primary classes have also been actively involved in re-enacting stories and exploring language, bringing literature to life through drama and oral storytelling. These hands-on experiences are helping to build both literacy skills and confidence in self-expression.

Looking ahead, we are excited to host a Questacon science show, which promises to be an engaging and interactive experience that will support our science learning outcomes and spark curiosity in STEM.

As we approach the end of the term, teachers are beginning the assessment process in preparation for report card writing. These assessments provide valuable insights into student progress and help guide our planning for the next phase of learning.

We thank our students and staff for their continued enthusiasm and commitment to learning.
