Australian Aboriginal art is the oldest living art tradition in the world, with paintings in rock shelters dating back 20,000 years. The art includes naturalistic paintings of humans, plants and animal figures.

Aboriginal art involves story telling, myths, rituals, sorcery, and magic.  Artists describe their dreams, the stories of creation, their beliefs, and their spirituality.

Grade 3 have been creating their own artwork inspired by aboriginal designs. Click here to see the children hard at work!

In PE this term, Grades 3-6 have been developing their athletics skills.

The children have been given the exciting opportunity of being coached by Michael Jules, the National Athletics coach, at the Gustarvus Lightbourne Sports Complex. We have been able to use the track, long jump pit and high jump.

All the children have enjoyed these sessions and we would like to thank Michael for giving up his time each week.
