Come and enjoy an exciting afternoon of music, dance, and creativity. Don’t miss the chance to see our talented students shine on stage!

END OF YEAR ARRAIAL

Our End of Year Arraial will be a true celebration of the Aprendizes community. Students, families, and teachers will come together — like one big Aprendizes family — to close the year with joy, grilled sardines, “bifanas”, and live music. An evening full of connection, laughter, and lasting memories that truly deserves everyone’s presence. We warmly invite all current and former students, families, and staff to join us for this special celebration!

END-OF-YEAR ADVENTURE!

Our preschoolers wrapped up the year with an unforgettable trip to Parque Rural Tambor!

From outdoor games to ziplines and even “milking” a pretend cow, the day was filled with joy, courage, and teamwork. A perfect blend of fun and challenge — the laughter echoed all the way back home!

Primary

MEASURED IN DINOS? ABSOLUTELY!

Our Grade 1 students explored measurement with mini dinos, pens, and plenty of curiosity!

This playful activity taught them key maths concepts: consistent units, logical thinking, and how smaller units mean more are needed. A roaring success, packed with learning, laughter, and teamwork — measuring has never been this fun!

Middle

EXPLORING THE WILD WORLD OF WOODLICE

Grade 5 scientists took science outdoors to investigate how light and moisture affect woodlice behaviour. In our veggie garden, they designed experiments, made discoveries, and even found baby woodlice! Real-world learning, scientific thinking, and joyful curiosity made this hands-on adventure truly unforgettable.
