"Looking back, school has been a roller coaster full of laughter, learning, lockdowns, and unforgettable memories. From pancakes to parliament, it’s been a journey I’ll always treasure. Each year brought new adventures, challenges, and growth. I’ve made friends, learned lessons, and created memories that will stay with me forever. School wasn’t just about books; it was about becoming who I am today.” — Bailee B (Year 6 student)
