It was a BIG Book Week at Cranleigh! We shared stories, enjoyed our Book Week readings featuring books shortlisted for the CBCA Book of the Year Awards. We laughed together and let our imaginations take us on all sorts of wonderful adventures. Then we swapped the books for costumes for our Book Week Dress-Up Parade. We had princesses, heroes, villains, magical characters and some very creative spins on our favourite book characters. And let's be honest, the staff may have been just as excited about dressing up as the students!

National Science Week was a fantastic success! Our students thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on experiences and opportunities to explore the world of science. We were fortunate to welcome a team from the Directorate who brought along a variety of engaging resources, including robotics equipment and fascinating animal specimens preserved in resin. Students had the opportunity to investigate, explore, touch, and interact with these resources, sparking curiosity and excitement about science and technology. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm, engagement, and learning throughout the week.

To mark the 50th anniversary of NAIDOC Week, our school celebrated, with every class contributing to special "50" collage that is now proudly displayed in our foyer.  Students also enjoyed making Johnny Cakes, providing a hands-on opportunity to learn about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and traditions.
