CLASSROOM CLIPPINGS

TWILIGHT SPORTS

The Lead Up:

On the first day, our house groups began to choose the music that we would then dance to before splitting into two groups. One worked on downloading the music whilst the second group was dance and chants. Six people from each house had already put together some of the dance.

By day four, all the houses had burnt their music on a disc ready for Twilight Sports allowing the whole team to focus on finishing off their dances and chants.

On the fifth day all of the houses had completed their dance routines and the captains were out the front leading the charge, ensuring their dances were polished off.

The Day:

On Thursday, all the year sixes were dressed up in their house colours with face paint, costumes and hairspray. Everyone was allowed to eat before they went into their house groups. All of the House Captains got every participating student into their house teams ready to watch the dances. Loyola went first and the music was stuttering but after five minutes the music worked and Loyola recovered and did their dance well. Macauley went second followed by Padua and Xavier finished the opening ceremony with a bang! After all of the activities and the running races the students went back to their parents and went home. A lot of sportsmanship and leadership was shown on the night. Everyone should be proud of their efforts. We thank all the parents that brought their children to Petrie Park and helped out at the event ensuring everyone had a fun time.

ANZAC Day School Leaders Reflection

On the 25th of April the school captains; Lexie, Isabella,Tom and Nick, went to Montmorency RSL to represent our school and lay a wreath at the ANZAC memorial service. We marched up Were Street following the sounds of the bagpipes and around to the Monty RSL before listening to the reflection. The experience was very memorable and we felt very privileged to represent the school on ANZAC day. Lots of leaders from other schools and clubs also came to represent their groups. Most of these people also laid a wreath. Our own beloved Father Terry said some prayers as some veterans looked on reflecting on their own experiences at war. Four fighter jets flew over in representation of ANZAC day and it was quite a great experience to see them in action. Overall, the day was emotional and inspiring and we would definitely recommend going in the future.

ANZAC Day Book Covers

The Year Six students have been designing front covers and blurbs for an Anzac Day project. We watched some Behind The News clips on Gallipoli and the service of Indigenous Australians in the war. We have researched about people in World War 1 to help with some of our wonderings. Today we created a cover and blurb for a potential book that we may write about ANZAC day.
