Our Year 5 students enjoyed an exciting WildAction incursion today, discovering the wonders of Australian native wildlife through close encounters and hands-on learning.
The session featured an incredible line-up of native animals, including “Lola” the red kangaroo joey, a tawny frogmouth, boobook owl, baby freshwater crocodile, black-headed python, freshwater turtle, green tree frog, tree goanna, shingleback lizard, and “Blossom”, an adult grey-headed flying fox.
One of the highlights was meeting and gently holding a tiny adult mountain pygmy possum – a critically endangered species with only around 2,000 left in the wild.
Through these up-close experiences, students learned about each animal’s classification, adaptations, habitats, and diets, gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges facing Australia’s wildlife. The incursion not only built confidence and curiosity but also inspired our students to become caring advocates for conservation and the environment.
A big thank you to Liv, our engaging and knowledgeable presenter from WildAction, for sharing her expertise and inspiring a love for wildlife among our students.
Our Islamic Storytime sessions have been filled with laughter, learning and lots of little smiles! Each week, our youngest community members come together with their mums to enjoy stories, nasheeds, songs and fun craft activities that help them learn about Allah (SWT) and the beauty of our faith.
The sessions are run by our wonderful parent volunteers and offer a time for children to play, make friends and explore their creativity in a warm, welcoming space. Suitable for children aged 0 – 4 years old.
Storytime sessions are held in Room D4 and lovingly hosted by our dedicated parent volunteers Ms Hina Fahad, Ms Nabiha Atique and Ms Siti Nurfadhilah.
