We had an amazing Term 2 in Arrowsmith!

This term, we proudly celebrated 10 Years of Arrowsmith at Oakleigh Grammar. Thank you to all the families who attended this special event. It was wonderful to reconnect with so many past and present students, parents and teachers as we celebrated this important milestone together.

Our class also enjoyed an exciting excursion to SEA LIFE Melbourne. It was fantastic to see the students interacting with one another outside the classroom. A special thank you to Charlie, who taught us what a shark egg looks like! It was a memorable day filled with learning and fun.

We also hosted our Come and Try Afternoon, where students challenged their parents to complete some of the Arrowsmith exercises. The students certainly enjoyed watching their parents experience just how challenging the activities can be! The afternoon gave parents valuable insight into the focus, persistence and engagement required during an Arrowsmith lesson, while allowing them to experience firsthand what their children do in the classroom.

As we head into the holidays, we wish Mrs Katseli a wonderful long service leave during Term 3. We warmly welcome Trina Angelatos (Arrowsmith Trained Instructor) and Wayne Stagg (former Head of Arrowsmith), who will be teaching the program during her absence.

We wish all our families a restful and enjoyable break and look forward to seeing everyone in Term 3!
