Zanna and the Lost Code
On May 30th Brainstorm Productions will present their student wellbeing performance ‘Zanna & the Lost Code’ for our students in Years K-6. This live theatre experience inspires and empowers students to be respectful, responsible, assertive and resilient online and offline.
When Zanna and Eddie arrive at coding camp, they embark on a magical journey into the Camp Captain's new online game for kids. Through a series of exciting challenges, Zanna and Eddie experience the power of empathy, respect, kindness and assertive communication. They discover that we all have the power to make the internet a safer and more positive place.
'Zanna & the Lost Code' is developed in collaboration with teachers and psychologists and aligned with key outcomes from the Australian and Victorian Curriculum. The show is designed to spark conversations about bullying, cyber safety and resilience amongst our students.
Brainstorm Productions is one of Australia’s most experienced and respected theatre-in-education companies, performing to over 260,000 students annually. Brainstorm Productions is endorsed by the eSafety Commissioner as a Trusted eSafety Provider and listed as an evidence-based bullying prevention program on the Victorian Schools Mental Health Menu.

Please see Compass Events to complete payment details for your child/ren. We thank Mrs Rogusz for organising this visit.
ICAS Assessments
Within our school community, there are students who shine brightly, displaying exemplary dedication and academic talent. They deserve to be recognised, and again this year, we are giving students in Years 3-6 the opportunity to showcase and celebrate their talents in the world-renowned ICAS competition.
What is ICAS?
ICAS is an online academic competition that allows students to challenge their higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills in English, Mathematics, Science, Writing, Spelling, and Digital Technologies.
ICAS results are in-depth and meaningful, and ICAS evaluates student performance against other competition entrants across the state and nation. The data reveals student strengths and areas for growth and can help you recognise and support your child's academic journey.
Learn more about ICAS here: icasassessments.com/products-icas/
ICAS results and certificate
Every student who participates is celebrated and recognised with a printed certificate in each subject area, and an online results report to track development each year. Top performers are eligible for one of the highly coveted ICAS medals.
