Market Day
Year 1 students enjoyed engaging with Market Day on Thursday 6 August in support of Year 6 students and raising funds for their graduation. Here are some of their reflections:
Chloe 1F
At the market day I bought ice-cream and toys. I walked around with Veronica and we found balloons and sweets.
Chris 1F
All the Year 6 students opened a Market Day Stall. The market opened on Thursday, 6th August. The whole class bought tickets so they could swap them for market items. At the market my friends ordered bracelets. They came in a packet of two so we shared the bracelets. I had so much fun!
Dakota 1F
At the amazing market I bought a squishy and a sticker. Also a surprise bag! The lolly was so delicious. Luckily I saw my buddy and my best friend!!!!
Ivaan 1F
In the Hall, I was looking for my buddy and I found him. I beat my buddy in basketball because I scored 6 points and my buddy scored 5. I bought a 3D egg and a 3D snack.
There are some photos of Market Day on the Year 6 page in this newsletter.
Swimming Program
The compulsory swimming program for Year 1 students is seven consecutive sessions in weeks 7 and 8 from Wednesday 26 August to Thursday 3 September. Students will attend a 30 minute lesson each day at the Huntingtower Sports and Aquatic Centre (HSAC) Swim School in Mount Waverley.
The event notice has been published on Compass. Consent and payment are due now and not later than Sunday 23 August.
Please refer to the Swimming Program page in this newsletter for more detailed information, including a reminder to not order a Canteen lunch during the swimming program and provide extra brain food from home as the children get extra hungry.
Parent volunteers from each class are required to assist children get ready to return to school. Speak to your child’s teacher if you have completed the volunteer requirements and are available to assist.
