A year at our school
🌟 Abilities Unleashed Kids – Lake Macquarie 🌟
What an amazing day of sport, fun, and inclusion! 💪🎾🏏
Abilities Unleashed gave our students the chance to try tennis, cricket, and more in a welcoming and supportive environment.
We loved seeing confidence grow, friendships form, and maybe even a few future sports stars in the making 🤩⭐
A big thank you to the teachers and SLSOs who cheered our students on every step of the way! 🙌

What an incredible afternoon we had at our Book Week Parade! The creativity, colour and excitement were absolutely next-level and we were blown away by the amazing costumes and the joy on everyone's faces.
A huge thank you to all our families who braved the rain to come out and support the parade, your presence made it even more special.

STAR STRUCK SUPERSTARS!
What a huge 3 days it’s been for our Star Struck group! From rehearsals to showtime, these superstar kids shined bright on stage and made us all so proud!
They loved every moment of being part of such a big production, making friends, creating memories, and experiencing the magic of performing in a huge show!
A massive thank you to all the parents, families, and everyone who supported them along the way. Your encouragement and help made this fantastically fun experience possible!
NAIDOC Day 2025 – “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy”
Today we celebrated NAIDOC Week 2025, marking 50 years of recognising and honouring First Nations culture. This year’s theme is a powerful reminder to honour the strength of our Elders, celebrate the vision of our youth, and recognise the legacy that continues to shape our shared future.
Students participated in an art activity using traditional cultural symbols, sampled Bush Tucker and explored their traditional uses in everyday life. Played Indigenous Games, learnt Awabakal Language through songs and using the Stronger Smarter approach, students engaged in reflection around identity, pride, resilience and their roles as future leaders.
