Lockington Men's Shed

Grade 6 students have started visiting the Lockington Men's Shed on Wednesday afternoons. During these visits, students have been working with tools and materials as they work on their projects.  

We would like to thank the Lockington Men's Shed members and Bunnings Echuca for their generous support with this fantastic community initiative. 

Grade 5/6 Businesses

Next Tuesday and Wednesday, our students will be running their businesses at lunchtime under the Hay Shed. Our groups have been working hard on preparing for their businesses, as they continue to develop literacy, numeracy, and digital/design technology skills.
