🎨 Foundation 2026 Transition – Art Day! 🐠
Our future Foundation students had a fantastic morning with Mrs Bradley for our Art Day transition session! The children created beautiful rainbow fish puppets using paper plates and colourful crepe paper — so much creativity and joy! 🌈✨
They also loved spending time on the playground, making new friends, and exploring their new school environment. 🛝💛
It’s been a bright, fun-filled morning and we can’t wait to see more amazing artwork when our newest learners join us in 2026! 🎉

Foundation Maths 🧮
In Maths, we’ve recently wrapped up our learning on positional language, using lots of hands-on activities to describe where objects are and how they move. We’ve now moved on to showing and counting numbers on a grid, which has been both fun and challenging! The children especially enjoyed playing board games like Snakes and Ladders, which helped them practise counting, number recognition, and turn-taking in a playful way.

Lest we forget
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello everyone, I’m Daniel- one of LePage’s school captains. Please make sure you are seated and ready to listen for remembrance day.
We stand here this morning on Bunurong land. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Country that we are on, and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respect to Elders past and present.
The First World War was in its time the most destructive conflict yet experienced by humanity. When it began in August 1914, few imagined the course that it would take, or foresaw its terrible toll. From a population of just under 5 million, more than four hundred thousand Australians enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force – the AIF, the force that Australia sent to the war – and more than three hundred and thirty thousand served overseas. For most this meant Gallipoli, the Middle East or the war's main theatre: the Western Front in France and Belgium. More than sixty thousand Australians lost their lives, a devastating toll for a small country. Yet they were a relative few.
Around the world some 10 million military personnel died in what was then called the Great War. Families and communities everywhere were affected by the enormous loss. When an armistice ended the fighting on 11 November 1918, celebrations in the victorious nations were tempered by grief and sorrow. In Britain and the countries of her empire, the day's anniversary became known as Armistice Day.
In 1919 and in every year since at 11 am on 11 November, people have paused to remember the dead. So great had been the loss of life, so devastating had been the destruction, that people hoped, even imagined, that the Great War would be the last war, ‘the war to end war'. But it was not to be. Two decades after the First World War ended, the world was plunged into a second global conflict. No longer could Armistice Day remain a day only to remember the dead of the First World War.
After the Second World War ended in 1945, 11 November became known as Remembrance Day. The day's sombre associations have never changed. When we pause at 11 am on 11 November, we reflect on the price that Australia and countries around the world have paid through more than a century of war and conflict that followed the First World War.
We will now have a minute's silence to reflect and pay respect to those who have lost
their lives during times of war.
Thank you everyone for demonstrating respect during this time.
