Year 5 & 6
Welcome to Year 5 and 6
Message from the class teacher
Welcome to class 4! In this class we work hard. We learn every day and we have fun while doing it. We encourage individuality, learn from mistakes and create citizens of the future.
We dream big but work hard.
We develop our ability to critically evaluate the world around us. We further develop our confidence, knowledge and skills to prepare us for a future world and realise the high aspirations we have for ourselves.
