Remembrance Day
On Tuesday our student leaders participated in the Montmorency Eltham RSL Remembrance Day Service. We were privileged to give the Remembrance Day Address as well as lay a wreath in honour of our fallen soldiers.
We were also surprised and excited to be presented with the 1st place Prize in the Primary School Art Competition. As well as the prestige of winning the competition, the students have won a lunch that includes spending time with a veteran to hear and learn about their experiences.
Hoop time
On Monday our two year 6 teams competed at Hoop Time. I have received feedback that both teams played very well and showed great sportsperson ship and played wonderfully as teams. It was also shared with me that our teams were respectful toward refs and coaches. Our coaches reported that both teams should be very proud of their efforts.Unfortunately, both teams didn’t win their finals, coming up against very strong teams but we are very proud of them for making it to the grand final as this is an awesome achievement.
