There was great excitement and anticipation on Monday morning as the Year 5 and Year 6 students prepared to move into their new classrooms.

Some students were a little like Goldilocks as they tried out the various seating options. Last year, the teachers spent considerable time researching and choosing furniture to cater for different learning styles.

Some parents and grandparents will remember their school days when students were not to move from their seats and a greater emphasis was placed on working silently and independently. Current research indicates not only the need for students to move but also to have the opportunity to work collaboratively, quite a change from bygone days.

The students are enjoying their new rooms and were keen to share their views.

Gianluca - They are a mix of the old and the new, mainly new.

Paige - There are different places to work.

Troy - I have a habit of swinging my legs, I can do that. 

Annliya -They are modern and spacious.

Thank you to our staff members who spent considerable personal time ensuring the classrooms were ready and a special thanks to Mr Paul Martin for coordinating the move, a great team effort!

God bless
