Dear Parents and Guardians,
A very warm welcome to all of our students and families in Year 5.Â
The coming year promises to be filled with new learning and experiences. Year 5 offers an opportunity to cultivate independence and responsibility as a learner, in engaging and innovative ways. We will explore how the world functions around us in the ‘Full Power’ unit, go back in time to explore the history of Medicine, explore space in ‘Interstellar’, and celebrate our unique identities in ‘What’s the big IDEA?’. With a wealth of hands-on learning opportunities, field trips, and a 3-night camp experience, students will create lasting memories.
