Dear Parents/Guardians

Welcome to Grade 5 & 6.
 
​In senior area of the school we are preparing students for their transitions into Secondary School. Visits to a few secondary colleges occur early in the year, and the children are given the opportunity to participate in some of the types of activities they would be doing at that particular school.

In inquiry the students investigate and take action through inquiry based learning. Students take control of their own learning and are encouraged to pursue their own ideas and passions. 

Students in the Senior School area all use iPads. They use the iPads to participate in lessons throughout the curriculum, to do things such as research topics, watch videos to assist their learning, create information products for various audiences and create videos to demonstrate their level of understanding. Homework may be given from time to time that require access to the internet from home for the senior school students.

Interschool Sport is a big part of Senior School life. Two hours every week is dedicated to playing sport against other schools in the Glenroy District. In summer, sports played are Cricket, Softball and Bat Tennis. During winter, sports played are Football, Netball and Soccer. Students who don't play these sports participate in other exciting activities at the school.

The Grade 5/6 camp is always an awesome time for the students to get to mingle and participate in some team building and adventure challenges. This year the students will be venturing to Phillip Island Adventure Repost Camp near Cowes. This camp has magnificent surrounds and facilities.

Of course the Grade 6 Graduation is a big event near the end of the year. Students will enjoy a meal at the school with their teachers both past and present, followed by the graduation ceremony and a disco. Remember to bring your tissues mums and dads as your children head off from Primary School into Secondary School.
