The primary faculty celebrated the different learning journeys of our students and the achievements of our BCS learning community, assistant principal, Hayley Nicholson said.
As Ms Nicholson wandered through the playground during the week-long occasion, she asked primary students what the theme meant to them.
"Education happens all around the world," Year 3 student, Jack said.

"You need an education to have a better future and to be a productive and active part of the community," Year 6 student, Liam said.

While Year 3 students, Ava and Lilly also shared their thoughts:

"Education helps me to grow up to get a good job."
