Celebrating Bee Day

Classes 1 - 8 recently enjoyed a wonderful day learning about the fascinating world of bees hosted by Class 5 and Class Teacher and beekeeper Jamie Loftus. Classes 1-3 walked to the Middle Cove campus to join Class 4-6 and later Year 7 and 8 students as they were introduced to the life and work of bees. This included getting a closer look at the equipment used by beekeepers. They watched a honey extraction demonstration and took part in hands-on activities, bringing the learning to life in a practical and engaging way. The afternoon concluded with a very welcomed feast of scones, cream and butter, followed by thoughtful questions and conversation with Jamie. It was a lovely opportunity for the students to deepen their understanding of these remarkable creatures and the important role they play in our natural world. Thank you to Jamie, teachers and parent volunteers who made such a memorable day possible!
