Lunchtime brought laughter to the undercover area with an Open Mic Stand-Up Comedy session for Years 1–3. Students shared their best literacy and numeracy jokes, proving that learning can be both educational and hilarious.
To finish off our week of literacy and numeracy fun on Thursday we ensured more Laughs and more learning. The comedy continued on Thursday during recess, this time featuring Years 4–6. With clever puns, math riddles, and witty wordplay, students entertained their peers while celebrating the joy of language and numbers.
Our Literacy and Numeracy Week is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the foundational skills that empower our students every day. To see Literacy and Numeracy bringing so much joy, creativity, and confidence to our students in a fun way is wonderful to celebrate!
From spelling bees to stand-up comedy, the week was a vibrant reminder that learning is not just about books and numbers, it’s about connection, curiosity, and having fun along the way. We are grateful to our Literacy Pillar Leader, Ms Rose and our Numeracy Pillar Leader, Ms Melis for leading this wonderfully fun and meaningful learning. We are excited about next year already!
