WALKING CLUB

ECO CAPTAINS
Our first Junior School Eco Captains meeting was a great success!
We enjoyed some snacks then discussed our Recycling Program and 4 bin system at St Andrews.
We are working towards less rubbish in the red rubbish bin and more recycling using our yellow paper bin, black soft plastic bag and compost bin.
When we did a waste survey in the Prep S classroom, we found:
10 items in the red rubbish bin
14 items in the red cycle (soft plastic) bag
12 items in the yellow paper recycling bin
4 items in the compost
The prep class had done a great job sorting their rubbish! We found only 2 items that should have been in the red cycle bag and 1 item that should have been in the compost.
Next term, the Eco Captains will visit the other junior school classrooms to see how well they are recycling!

YEAR 4 BOTANICAL GARDENS EXCURSION
On 4th March, Year 4s went on an excursion to Cranbourne Botanical Garden to learn about the Aboriginal culture. First, a lady from the garden showed us some of the tools used by the Aboriginal people for hunting. Then she taught us how to make paint with ochre and water and we used the paint to make handprints on a rock. After that we had some lemon myrtle tea which was yummy. The highlight of our trip was the bushwalk when Zachary saw a koala on a tree! It was so fluffy and cute! At the end of the day, we got to play at the water play area which was lovely on a hot day.

PRAYING PREPS
Every second Thursday the Year 12 students lead devotions and prayer with Prep grades.
It's a wonderful way for our student community to connect and learn about what God is doing in each of their lives.
EASTER EGG HUNT
Such a pleasure watching the Preps, Year 1 and Year 2 go hunting for Easter eggs. Their laughter, energy and enthusiasm made everyone smile. So much joy when an egg was found!
DEAR MRS WANSBROUGH
It's amazing how God works in the hearts of His little ones. Principal Wansbrough received an unexpected and delightful note from two year 2 students, Nakisha Gunawardana and Annabelle Choi about their thoughts of Easter and what it means to them. Wow! How great is our God!
JUNIOR SWIMMING AND CARNIVAL
The Junior School have been having a wonderful time as they started their swimming program this week. The focus of the program is on water safety and confidence around water. Our students are certainly confident and we have discovered some amazing swimmers. The PE staff are already scouting for recruits for future swimming carnivals. I wish to thank the wonderful staff and amazing parents who have been making sure everyone goes home fully clothed and with shoes on!
