🌳Walk on Country at Centennial Parklands with @deadlyed_ 🌳
Kindergarten, Years 1 & 2 travelled by bus to Centennial Park this week to learn from Aboriginal educators on Bidjigal and Gadigal country of Centennial Parklands. They learned about the natural environment and how it has been used by Australia’s First Nations Peoples from generation to generation. Students loved the tools and weapons demonstrations and during the 'Native Plant Hunt' they discovered how plants and natural materials are used by Aboriginal people for various purposes.

Thank you to our SJB staff and parent volunteers who made this excursion one to remember! #sjbfreshie #deadlyed

Our Year 6 Camp is primarily organised as a team building experience aimed at developing social skills and independence in preparation for secondary school. This year our senior students ventured off on public transport to experience the Land’s Edge Foundation Outdoor Education program in Sydney.

Students participated in a range of activities lead by trained educators from the Land’s Edge team, along with their class teachers Mrs Jones, Mr McNabb and Miss Woods, including: an Indigenous Session examining local artifacts at Balmoral, Kite Making, Snorkelling, and a Guided Walk from Balmoral to Chowder Bay on day 1.

Day 2 included Rafting and Stand-Up Paddle boarding before finishing off with the Great SJB Race ‘return to school’ challenge. All teams made it back safely, some groups opting for the fastest way by bus so they could be winners, whilst others deciding to take a longer route to take a ride on the Sydney ferry. Go Team SJB!! Your energy and enthusiasm showed great respect for learning, you made your teachers very proud! #sjbfreshie

This is an important calendar event for Year 5 as they prepare for their leadership roles next year. The range of activities, including the climbing wall, giant swing, high ropes, the drop pole, flying fox, laser tag and more provide students with opportunities for personal growth.

🧘‍♂️ ZING Activ movement specialists are here at SJB in Term 4 🧘‍♀️
Our students are participating in the @zing_activ wellbeing program this term. Using noise-cancelling technology to enhance meditation and mindfulness exercises, our students are loving the movement sessions with Miss Georgia.

Miss Georgia helps the students relax their minds and bodies, follow instructions, tests their memories, all leading to increased concentration and calm emotions.

Creating a safe and inclusive environment where children can learn self-regulation tools and strategies is so important. Thank you to our SJB parents and friends for raising funds to support these programs running in our school.
