Dear Families and Carers,

This week we welcomed our Kindergarten and ELC 2025 students to Holy Trinity. It is scary to think how quickly a year goes by, as we look back on the year that’s passed with only half a term left, and forward to the new one racing towards us, we are reminded of the incredible growth that happens when students embrace change. The transition from one year level to the next is not just a shift in academic learning, but also an opportunity for personal and social development. With this in mind, we reflect on the values of the IB Learner Profile and the framework of PERMAH as powerful tools to support our students as they navigate these upcoming transitions.

At the heart of the IB Learner Profile is the idea of developing well-rounded individuals who not only excel academically but also grow into balanced, caring, and curious people. As students transition to new year levels, we see the qualities of the Learner Profile come to life in meaningful ways.

In addition to the IB Learner Profile, we also focus on developing resilience and well-being through the PERMAH model. This holistic framework for thriving includes elements that can significantly enhance students' ability to cope with the challenges of transitioning between year levels. Every transition is an opportunity for growth. As students take on new challenges, they also develop deeper relationships, cultivate greater resilience, and strengthen their self-awareness. As we begin the preparations for the change to a new year level we will be focusing on using the language of the Learner Profile and PERMAH to suppport our learners. By fostering an environment that nurtures these attributes and principles, we are preparing our students not only for academic success but for success in life. We invite you to join in that conversation when preparing your child for the end of this year and moving through to their new class in 2025. 

Remembrance Day

On Monday morning our Year 5 learners hosted our Remembrance Day Service for ELC-Year 6. They reflected on why we celebrate the sacrifice, and selflessness of our fallen soldiers and we can continue to honor them in our daily actions.
