Stories and highlights
There's always something to celebrate at our school! From exciting events to proud moments and everyday wins, here are some of our highlights.
A year at our school
Book Week and Grandparents / Special Friends Morning
On Sunday, 10 August 2025, we held a Mini Book Week Fair at the school. School and the local community had a fun afternoon enjoying a storyteller, jumping castle, kids craft, face painting, BBQ and cake, book and preloved costume stalls.
We held our annual Book Week Parade on Friday August 15. The students dressed up as their favourite book characters and paraded them to our school community.
On Friday 22 August we continued our Book Week celebrations with a Grandparents / Special Friends morning. We held a whole school assembly with a student from each grade as the MCs. Each class entertained our visitors with an item based on a CBCA shortlisted book. This was followed by a morning tea and book donation sale in our library. Families, grandparents and special friends could purchase one of our preselected books and donate it back to the school. Each book donated received a donation plaque inside the front cover as a permanent memory.
Aboriginal Experience Incursion
On Wednesday, 10 September 2025, our students participated in an Aboriginal Experience incursion run by Ranger Jamie Tours. The students took part in a traditional Ochre ceremony, learnt traditional and ceremonial dances, learnt all about bush tucker and how different plants are used as remedies for common illnesses, and how this traditional knowledge has been passed down for generations and got to handle real traditional artefacts. The students finished the day by creating their own artworks using traditional symbols and drawings. The students had a fun and informative day.
Sports Carnival
In Term Three our PE lessons focussed on athletics skills and we rounded out term with our annual sports carnival at Petersham Park. Families joined us for the day to cheer on the students. The students participated in age races, relays, hurdles, tunnel ball, modified discus, javelin and shotput and a marathon. The day culminated with a ribbon and medal presentation. The respect and sportsmanship of our students was on display all day as they cheered on their school mates and celebrated their victories.
“We’re so grateful for the way Taverners supports each child’s learning needs and encourages their potential. The welcoming parent and teacher community makes it unlike any other school we’ve experienced.”
