Proud Preps!

They have all been so persistent, confident and most of all proud of their achievements in this new and challenging life-long skill. Here is a little snapshot of some of the brilliant descriptions so far from students at

differing levels in their writing journey. - Sheridan Collis, Prep C Teacher

Our 2021 Prep cohort sure are into the swing of learning this term! Students have been working super hard on creating both oral and written descriptions based on the characters from the well-loved Australian story

Wombat Stew. All classes are building their vocabulary and knowledge of sentence structures and are applying their ideas and knowledge into written form.
