As we approach the end-of-year festivities, we have several School events planned to support our students and connect with fellow families, teachers, and community members. 

Here is an overview of the upcoming events in the final four weeks of the 2023 school year. Please keep an eye out for detailed event information as the dates draw nearer.

One of Barbreck’s traditions is the Year 6 Iron Girl Competition. This event involves students running, swimming, and completing a final run. Some students aim to win the trophy, while others work to finish the challenge. The Iron Girl event will follow House Aerobics. Parents are encouraged to stay and watch.
