I finished! 🙌🏾

 We celebrate every WIN!

 Look who conquered the giant puzzle!

Bigs and Smalls get along after all

The Unit has two classes- they are grouped together by age. We call the older students 'Bigs' and the younger ones 'Smalls'.  

What a pleasure to see how patient, supportive and encouraging the 'Bigs' are,  when there is an opportunity to play with the 'Smalls'

Spot the difference

 One of the junior classes highlights is our twice weekly Junior School break. We join their peers in the foundation phase for second break. We are often welcomed by a group of kids, waiting for our visit. Looking from the outside in, I am always amazed to see this inclusion in action. No one is telling them what to do, kids just all speak the same language! 

See if you can find the special needs kids in this picture...it's really hard to do! They just look like  group of foundation phase learners , making the best of their break time ❤️

Home at last 🕊️

 Our students come from all over the world. We love to hear them tell us about the places they have been and some of the things they've seen.

But once they find us, they know that they are finally home. 

Welcome to the Marist Family 🕊️

Photography sessions 📸

 Thank you, Mrs. Piccolo, for volunteering and leading some exciting crash photography sessions with our learners. The enthusiasm is real and we can’t wait to kick things off every Monday!

Perfect weather

 The water was perfect and the energy levels were high, making it perfect for a refreshing pool session.

Morning Expresso

 In case you missed it, Max and John made their debut on Expresso this week. I’m sure they’ll be happy to give out their autographs after school!

SARDA

Our SARDA horse riding sessions are back in action! Well done to all the newcomers who started their first session, you did a fantastic job. These sessions are a great opportunity to develop riding skills, build confidence and connect with the horses. 

Fruit Salad

Today in Food Skills, we made a healthy fruit salad. This activity helped us practice essential kitchen skills such as peeling, chopping and slicing fruits safely and efficiently.

 

Maths in the Junior Class

 Focused and working hard!

Senior School Athletics

Max running the 100m race link:

Our Senior School Athletics Day was such a vibe, filled with energy and spirited war cries, which showcased the true meaning of sportsmanship. It was a day that fostered a sense of community and school spirit, encouraging everyone to participate and give their best. Well done to everyone who took part!

 

Wisha Washa - It's washing time!

 

When reading and spelling becomes a chore 😜... It's one way to get the kids to do washing! In English we learnt about syllables and how many claps are in a word. Don't be surprised when your child is clapping out ra - coon and e-le-phant while they're helping you with the laundry...

Banana Banana! MEATBALL!

 

How it warms the heart to see the learners partaking in a silly little jingle altogether and having so much fun with it. Needless to say, we all felt like meatballs for dinner and maybe a banana split for dessert? 

World Read Aloud Day

 

Today was World Read Aloud Day so we decided it would be wonderful to see our Senior Learners pair with our Juniors to practice reading out loud. It was a really great idea because everyone had fun taking turns to read even if it was just the pictures!

keep swimming...

It was our first session of swimming, and the learners had a wonderful time filled with excitement and joy. They eagerly participated, tried new skills, and showed great energy throughout.
