The past few weeks at the Junior Campus have been filled with exciting excursions, special events, and community celebrations, each offering our students new opportunities for learning, creativity, and connection.

Our Reception to Year 6 classes have been out and about exploring Adelaide and beyond. The Year 1 students delighted in their visit to the Botanic Gardens, immersing themselves in nature and discovering the beauty of plants and flowers. The Year 2 students enjoyed their trip to the Railway Museum, where they learned about the history of trains and transport, before returning for a 'late stay' filled with fun and team-building activities, finishing with some Just Dance. Our Year 3 students had an unforgettable camp experience at Monarto, building resilience, independence, and friendships in the great outdoors. The Year 6 students explored creativity and culture at the Art Gallery of South Australia, sparking their curiosity about artistic expression and history. To round out our excursions, the Junior Campus also enjoyed the peace and beauty of the Japanese Gardens, a chance to reflect, observe, and learn in a tranquil setting.

Back at school, we celebrated our diversity and creativity through Cultural Dress-Up Day, where students proudly wore clothing that reflected their heritage and cultures. This was paired with hands-on experiences in making cold rolls and dumplings, a delicious and practical way to appreciate the richness of different food traditions. These activities provided the boys with a deeper understanding of diversity while encouraging curiosity and respect for cultures other than their own.

Sports and school spirit have also been on display with our Wear Your Footy Colours Day. The yard came alive with a sea of guernseys, scarves, and team colours as the boys proudly represented their favourite clubs. This event was full of energy and excitement, building camaraderie and school spirit.

Our strong sense of community was also reflected in our Father’s Day celebrations. The Junior Campus hosted a warm and welcoming Father’s Day Breakfast, where dads and father figures joined their sons for coffee and something delicious to eat before heading off to work. This was followed by the much-loved Father’s Day Stall, beautifully organised by our Parents and Friends Association, which gave the boys the joy of choosing a thoughtful gift. Both events were a wonderful reminder of the importance of family connections and the generosity of our parent community.

What shines through in all of these activities – from excursions to celebrations – is the commitment to fostering a holistic education for our students. Whether it’s exploring local landmarks, celebrating culture, engaging in creative learning, or sharing special family occasions, each experience contributes to the growth of our students as learners and as young people who value community, culture, and connection.

We are so grateful to our dedicated teachers, parent volunteers, and the Parents and Friends Association for making these experiences possible. Together, we continue to provide our boys with opportunities to learn, grow, and flourish – both inside and outside the classroom.
