Winter Term is flying past with the Year 3 classrooms a hive of activity.

We rejoiced in having our first excursion since Online Learning, sharing a morning of collaboration with the PLC girls at their school campus last week. Despite a few nerves, the children quickly became a cohesive unit, learning some new moves with a Scottish dancing session and competing in a Maths relay where mixed teams solved a series of maths problems and literally had to run with their solutions to beat the others. We look forward to hosting the girls at Scotch in a fortnight as we prepare for our upcoming Scottish Afternoon. It promises to be filled with tartan and shortbread and Ms Louden and I are 'chuffed tae bits' to be involved in this 'wee gem' of a show!

We also visited the Design and Technology building in Senior School to view the wide range of equipment and technologies available. Year 9 students worked closely with the boys to design and produce key tags on the laser cutter, stimulating their interest in the design process. We are so lucky to have such a wealth of resources available to us at our College. Hopefully, we will be able to use it as we enter the design phase of this latest unit of inquiry.

Next week we will be travelling to Perth Hills for a cultural experience. This is the first contact that the boys will have as they get to know the staff in the Outdoor Education department and build up to camp experiences in Years 4 and 5. It is such a thrill to be able to take the boys far afield to enjoy the wealth of opportunities that surround our city.

Five more weeks to go with lots of great learning experiences and Spring is in the air. Thank you to all of our parents for their endless support and assistance. I hope that you enjoyed watching your son participate in the Inter-House Athletics Carnival and felt proud of their behaviour and effort.
