2025 School Leaders

The school leaders have been busy running Nuf Nuf fundraisers, creating lots of fun for the students involved and raising funds for their end of year gift and farewell.

They have gone to the Grip Leadership conference and a leaders morning tea with our local member, Kate Washington MP. They have been with her to open our new Zen Den and have held Parliament sessions to brainstorm changes that they would like to be made in the school community.

Robocup

Our team of talented students showed off their creative robotic skills at the 2025 RoboCup Junior.  We won another first place for the second year in a row.

Film by the Water

Tuesday, 16 September there was a special screening of all the finalist entries for Film by the Water submissions.  Shoal Bay's stage 2 group were lucky enough to be one of the finalists, with a fantastic video.  As a result they got a day excursion for all children involved in the making of the video and then at night special guests and parents went for a special screening of all finalists.  Congratulations to Soldiers Point Public School for winning ... this year.
