Year 6 Commencement to the Year: A Fresh Start Full of Opportunities

As the school year begins, our Year 6 students have already embraced a whirlwind of exciting events and initiatives. From leadership roles to hands-on learning experiences, the beginning of the year has been a fantastic journey for all involved.

We commenced the year with our Leadership Badge Presentation Ceremony, where students proudly received their badges, symbolizing their commitment to leading with responsibility, integrity, and enthusiasm. It was a proud moment for both the students and the school community.

Our Swimming Carnival was another highlight, with students showing impressive teamwork and determination in the pool. The day was filled with fun and friendly competition, with many participants cheered on by their classmates. Our Sports Captains were especially energetic, motivating their teams and fostering a spirit of sportsmanship that was inspiring to witness.

A major event early in the term was our Excursion to Canberra, where students had the opportunity to learn firsthand about democracy through interactive displays, tours, and role-playing activities. This immersive experience provided valuable insights into how our government functions and gave students the chance to explore Australia's rich political history.

Back at school, the Student Representative Council (SRC) meets every week to discuss important initiatives. Our first project, Waste Warriors, aims to care for the environment by encouraging sustainable practices and raising awareness about waste reduction. The enthusiasm shown by our SRC members in this project has been inspiring, and we are excited to see how it will evolve throughout the year.

With so many engaging activities and learning opportunities already experienced, it's clear that this year will be one full of growth and achievement. We are all looking forward to what the rest of the year holds as we continue to work together, learn, and explore the world around us.
