Throwback to an incredible day at JA BizTown!
Our students stepped into real-world roles, ran businesses, managed money, and worked together to make important decisions. It was amazing to see their leadership and responsibility in action!

They also took on roles like CEOs, CFOs, sales associates, and technicians—learning what it takes to run a business. They rose to every challenge and had so much fun doing it!

A photo collage celebrating a school principal. The collage features multiple candid moments including the principal standing in front of a ‘Purpose’ display, smiling with two students outdoors, walking on a playground, interacting with students during a spirited school event, and receiving a certificate. The design includes a handwritten-style message that reads: ‘Principals shape the culture, guide the vision, and create a place where students and staff can truly thrive. Thank you.’ The name ‘Ms. Fay’ is written prominently on the right side.”

How special is this?

Mrs. Mills’ class put their creativity to work by making the sweetest paper flower bouquets for Mrs. Jenni and Mrs. Debi. Such a thoughtful way to show appreciation for all they do each day.

We love seeing our students spread kindness and gratitude in such meaningful ways.

Our Running Club has been on the move, and we are having so much fun! From smiles at the starting line to strong finishes, our students are showing determination, teamwork, and a whole lot of heart.

Each lap they run earns them “Toe Tokens,” and they’ve been working hard to collect them! It’s been exciting to see their progress, their encouragement of one another, and their commitment to staying active.

We are so proud of these runners and the positive energy they bring each day. Keep up the great work!

Claremont Carnival 2026 was one for the books.

There is nothing better than seeing our community come together like this. From the creativity at the face painting station to the confetti eggs being a true smash hit, the energy all afternoon was incredible. Students had a blast bouncing, playing, and getting to explore our brand-new playground - all while cooling off with snow cones.

We truly could not have asked for better weather or a better crowd.

A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers who worked behind the scenes to make this event possible and to all of our families who showed up and made it so special.

We love making these memories with you and are so grateful for our Claremont family.

Claremont is proud to celebrate being recognized once again as a Great Expectations Model School—Year 6.

This year, our focus word was purpose, and it has guided everything we do. From the way we support one another to the way we serve our students and families, our purpose is rooted in building strong relationships, creating meaningful learning experiences, and ensuring every child feels valued and capable.

We are honored to be part of the Great Expectations program and the positive impact it continues to have on our school culture. It is more than a model—it is a way of life for our Claremont family!

Thank you to our incredible staff, students, and community for living out our purpose each and every day. We are grateful, we are proud, and we look forward to many more years of growing together.

It's A Great Day To Be A Zebra!
