Today, K-2 enjoyed a visit from Sharon from Port Stephens Koala Hospital as part of Save the Koala month! K-2 have been learning all about koalas and how to protect their future. Students have completed projects at home and are raising funds to adopt koalas through the Port Stephens Koala Hospital. How exciting! Do you love koalas?

Shout out to our P & C who organised the breakfast for everyone!

Year 6 visited Kotara High today to experience a ‘taste’ of high school life. They enjoyed lessons in maths, drama, PE and HSIE. The amazing collection of creatures within the fish tanks were the highlight, along with some tricky maths problems. 🐟 🐠 🧮
