Defence News

Welcome to Term 3! 

I hope everyone enjoyed a restful holiday and spent quality time with family.

I was lucky to spend two days training on Seasons for Growth last week. It was an extraordinary course that used the imagery of the seasons to illustrate to young people the experience of change, loss, and grief. I am looking forward to sharing what I have learnt with students.

I have been busy updating all our Defence resources at school, and I'm looking forward to starting small groups with all years this term. I have a lot planned, and I am very excited.

Last week, I caught up with Year One Defence students Cooper Firkin, Cameron Peters, Rhyland Short and Theia Walz. They were very excited about our Defence Space and can't wait for the groups to begin.

Thank you to the Year 4 Defence girls, Lillian Barker, Chloe Struber, Elsie McLoad, Bella Bailey,  Evelyn Toole and Sophie Webber for helping Mrs Lawrence set up her space on Wednesday. We had fun with the beads.
