Special Assembly – Professions without Gender

This week we had a fabulous special assembly – Professions without Gender. We heard from four special guests about what it is like to have ‘A Day in the Life’ of their profession.

  • Sarah Last – VFLW player and several years as an AFLW player for Carlton.
  • Riley Owen – Netball player – played for the Under 17 Australian team and now plays for the Victorian Under 20 team.
  • James Roche – Primary School Classroom Teacher
  • Michael Sacchetta – Primary School Specialist Teacher

Our most sincere thanks go to our presenters who gave up their time to speak to our students about their different days and career paths. It was a wonderful opportunity and clearly our student body enjoyed the presentations and had much food for thought around future possibilities.

On Friday 20th September, there will be the Rangeview Primary School Traditional Billy Cart and Footy Day.  Children can come in their footy colours.  Racing starts at 9:15 am.  At the end of the Billy Cart finals the whole school will sing the Footy songs.  

 

Any students that want to race a Billy Cart will need to have their own Billy Cart at school in the morning.  They will need to organise a friend from their level to be their partner.  One person drives and one person pushes the Billy Cart around a track on the bottom asphalt.  All children participating will need to have their own helmet; also knee pads and elbow pads are a good idea if they have them.

 

The students can choose to enter the Billy Cart race if they have a Billy Cart, all other students enjoy watching, cheering and singing.

 

Don’t forget 2:30 pm finish on Friday 20th  September. 

Rangeview is very privileged to be the location for the filming of a World Vision Christmas commercial. One of our students will be featuring in the commercial and around 10 others will be extras in the commercial. The storyline is around a student who writes a speech for her class on sponsoring a child in Cambodia through World Vision. The story then moves to Cambodia to show the sponsor child speaking to her class ablut being sponsored and the positives for her education and her life.

 

This is a lovely connection for the students involved to a charitable concept and a positive contribution our school can make to World Vision. Look out for this new commercial at Christmas time.
