We are so proud of our wonderful school, and nothing can match the joy of seeing our children learning onsite at one of our "Prospective Parent" school tours.
During the most significant COVID-19 restrictions when we were unable to run school tours, we did our best to capture some of the "heart and soul" of our school through this video.  

Even though face to face tours are now allowed once more, we have left this video here for anyone who wants a quick look around the school before deciding to book a tour.

We hope you enjoy a preview of our fabulous learning facilities, extensive open spaces, passionate teachers and words of wisdom from our school captains, along with a flavour of our school philosophies, which focus on developing the whole child, to create confident, independent individuals ready to transition into Secondary School and the world beyond.

We’re very pleased to inform you that our school has implemented a phone app called Updat-ed that will make connecting with you so much more convenient.

To download the app just visit the App Store for iPhones or Google Play for Android’s. Search for Updat-ed by sponsor-ed and from the menu select our school. We’ll receive your registration request and will need to approve you before your app is up and running.

So what will the app do?

The app’s great for sending out alerts and reminders with one of its best features being the ability to save events directly into your phone’s calendar.

We hope you enjoy being Updat-ed.

My favourite photo technique is where you can make the background blurry. Smart phones can do this through portrait mode via adjustment of the F-stop. It's a scale that turns the background to various levels of blurriness. Technically speaking the technique is called 'depth of field'. Why play with blurriness? It makes the subject matter the star and not the background which is there only in a supporting role. But most importantly, the pics just look great. 

As an experiment, I'm shooting new photos for my wife's (sponsor-ed of course) website, just to show you what a smart phone can do. You really don't need a professional photographer (sorry pro's). All you need is a little composition and a smart phone feature or two to take great pics.

By the way, the new iPhone 13 has Cinematic Mode, that does the same blurry thing with video. 

Check out the photos below and also the iPhone tips tutorial.

I'm not an Android expert but a little youtubing will reveal a simple tute for your phone too.

Watch out for Term 2's photo taking PD.
