Families and friends are warmly invited to join us for Primary Chapel, held Friday mornings during Period 1 (8:55am). Chapel is a special time in our week where we gather as a Primary community to worship, reflect and grow together.

Term 1 Theme: CONNECTION

Belonging to God, to Others, and to Our School Community

This term, students will explore what it truly means to belong — to God, to one another, and to our wider school community. Through weekly devotions, interactive activities, and a term-long object lesson using puzzle pieces, students will reflect on how God has created each of us uniquely and how He brings us together as part of His family.

Our Bible Focus - Ephesians 2:19 - 22

This passage reminds us that we are no longer strangers, but members of God’s household — built together through Jesus. It will underpin our learning and conversations about belonging and community throughout the term.

Weekly 1 Focus: God Made Me and Knows Me

Students will explore their identity and celebrate the truth that God has created each of us wonderfully and uniquely.

We look forward to welcoming you as we gather, connect, and grow together as a Primary community.

Families and friends are warmly invited to join us for our Primary Assembly, held Monday mornings at 9:00am in the Primary Village.

This brief but special gathering brings our Primary community together to celebrate our Class Students of the Week, share important notices, sing the National Anthem, and pray together.

We would love to see you there as we connect and celebrate our students as a community.
