Term 4 has kicked off with lots of exciting learning and events at Lochiel School!

Our students have been developing essential water safety skills through swimming lessons, ensuring they are confident and safe in and around water.

Year 4–8 students have also been learning important bike safety skills, which is particularly timely as we open up our pump track for the term.

It’s always a popular playtime and lunchtime activity, and the safety lessons ensure students can enjoy it confidently and responsibly.

Pet Day has been a highlight of the term so far, and despite the cooler weather, the strong sense of community spirit made the day a huge success.

Families, students, and staff all came together, and everyone had a fantastic time celebrating this special school tradition.

A huge thank you to our amazing PTA who organise and run this day for our community.

In the classrooms, students are enjoying exploring their own-choice inquiries this term.

They are enthusiastically investigating topics that interest them and sharing their learning with classmates, building curiosity, creativity, and presentation skills.

Although we will miss our Year 8 students, we are incredibly proud of all they have achieved at Lochiel.

As they step into high school, they carry with them the knowledge, skills, and memories that will help them thrive.

Meanwhile, we look forward to celebrating the final weeks of what has been a busy, exciting, and memorable year for our whole school community.
