Our SJB Library Leadersip Team visit the State Lib

Our SJB Library Leadersip Team visit the State Library with Mrs Martin and Mrs De Fina this week! What an epic adventure - catching the Manly Ferry across to the city is always a special moment, we don’t take this for granted. #lovewherewelive

This excursion is not only a wonderful learning experience but a reward for all the incredible efforts that the Library Captains have put in this year as Leaders and Role Models and for assisting Mrs Martin with various duties especially during book week. We will miss these amazing young students as they embark on their high school journey’s next year, 2025!

Thank you to @sydneymarkets for bringing their @freshforkids program to SJB during Well-being week this week. Our students have thoroughly enjoyed making their fruity meringue treats and learning about the importance of fresh local seasonal food. Using a hands-on approach @freshforkids recreate recipes that have been proven to engage children in a fun way while inspiring them to make better choices. Maybe you can recreate the recipe at home with the kids on the weekend!

🌳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
