2023 is drawing to a close, yet the 5/6 Homestead is still humming with activity as we prepare for some significant end-of-year events. As we write this, the Year 6 Graduation is fast approaching on the 5th of December, and the Year 5 Art Gallery, The Archihairs, will be open on the afternoon of the 4th of December.

The entire Homestead engaged in the inquiry unit ‘How We Express Ourselves’ this term. It has taken us to the Archibald exhibition at the Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery, immersed us in the art of writing poems and odes, made us smash plates, and allowed us to explore ourselves and our values creatively.

In amongst all this, we found time to escape to the country as we embarked on the Year 5/6 Homestead Camp at the Coonawarra Farm Resort. From flying across a lake on ziplines to descending into the mysterious Den of Nargun, we immersed ourselves in adventure, reflection, exertion, exhilaration, and, above all, fun!

Please enjoy this bumper edition of the Minimbah Homestead PODCAST created by Years 5 & 6 as they reflect on the final busy term of 2023.

For those returning next year, we can’t wait to see you again. For those journeying on from the familiar shores of Minimbah, we wish you safe travels and best wishes! Have a wonderful summer!
