Celebrating a Successful Term in the Junior School
As we come to the end of another busy and successful term, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our students, families, and staff for making it such a positive and enriching time in the Junior School.
This term has been filled with many memorable highlights. Our vibrant House Activities have been a consistent source of joy, helping to build friendships, strengthen connections, and spark a wonderful sense of school spirit. It has been a pleasure to see students engaging enthusiastically, supporting one another, and always striving to do their personal best.
Special congratulations go to the Year 5 and 6 students who represented us in the International Ethics Olympiad. These students worked hard throughout the term, preparing thoughtful and respectful arguments on a range of ethical dilemmas. They demonstrated excellent collaboration and maturity on the day and should be incredibly proud of their efforts.
Thank you also to our teachers for their hard work and dedication this term. The support and partnership between families and staff continues to be one of the great strengths of our school, and it plays a key role in helping every child to thrive.
Thank you once again for your ongoing support. I hope everyone enjoys a safe, restful, and fun-filled holiday break. May you all take the time to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather with your loved ones.

Magenta strings dazzle
Our Year 2 Magenta string students gave a thoughtful and joyful performance at the Junior School Assembly, marking their debut on stage.
In recognition of Reconciliation Week, they shared two contrasting pieces—On Top of Old Smokey and Carnival - using music as a powerful medium to convey messages of understanding, respect, and unity. Although a little nervous before their first assembly appearance, the students approached the performance with incredible positivity.
Their focus, teamwork, and growing confidence shone through. The final pose, bows held high in perfect unison, was a striking finish that captured the spirit of connection and celebration. Congratulations to all our young performers for their courage, commitment, and joy in sharing music.
What a special moment for our school community to witness!

Creativity alive for NT life
During the last week of term, a group of young writers had the exciting opportunity to work with Mrs. Leonie Norrington, a published author known for her engaging stories rooted in Northern Territory life.
During the workshop, students explored storytelling techniques, character development, and how to draw inspiration from their own experiences. It was a memorable session that sparked creativity and inspired the next generation of storytellers.
