What a wonderful first term we have experienced at Sunshine Christian School! It has been great to spend so much time back at school and to return to mostly ‘normal’ routines after the disruptions of last year.

There have been so many highlights throughout this first term. The Preps joined us at the beginning of the term and have settled so well into the routines of school. It has been a joy to observe the enthusiasm and happiness the Prep students have injected into our already vibrant community.

Students across the school experienced and participated in some special activities and celebrations throughout the term. The school created some amazing displays for the Sunshine Garden Club Annual Show, participated in the annual swimming program, enjoyed a whole school picnic during Hearing Awareness Week, experienced the wonders of space in the Science Discovery Dome incursion and learnt many wonderful things at Edendale Farm. The Year 3 to 6 students also participated in Peer Mediation training and are now equipped to be effective peer mediators.

Although we were very disappointed that the Werribee Zoo excursion was postponed in Term 1, we are really looking forward to attending in Week 1 of Term 2. We eagerly anticipate many more wonderful learning experiences throughout next term.

I thank the staff at Sunshine Christian School for their dedication and tireless work which made the term such a rich and wonderful learning experience for the students. I wish them and every member of our school community a very restful holiday and a blessed Easter. I look forward to many new and exciting learning opportunities in Term 2.
