Galilee Soccer Day
With the Matilda’s having such great momentum and having so much World Cup fever, Galilee needed Soccer Day.
Students came in their local teams, EPL teams or their own countries team. The effort they went to was terrific
Skills, drills and mini games were run by the Port Melbourne Sharks Head Coach Adam Piddick where the students got to learn and showcase their skills to him and their teachers. Having a short and sharp half an hour session with Adam, the students gained valuable knowledge.
We also had great support from Soccer Australia who donated posters, booklets and wristbands which was amazing to help decorate the school and some handouts.
Thank you to all those who donated on the day too. Raising money for the Royal Children’s Hospital was another great success for the day.
If you’re interested in getting into Soccer or want to further yourself, see below at the flyer for a Port Melbourne Holiday Program on the Community Page.
Thanks to Adam and Port Melbourne for the day and lets go the Matilda’s!
Book Week
Book Week is fast approaching (21st August- 25th August) so we thought we would give you some information about what Galilee will be up to that week. The 2023 theme of Book Week is In ‘Read, Grow, Inspire’. Each year since 1945 the CBCA has brought children and books together across Australia through the celebration of Children's Book Week.
Galilee’s Book Week
Monday: Grandparent’s Day, the Book fair opens and author Kelly Wilson will be visiting our Year 4 and 5 students.
Tuesday: Our Year 6 students are going on an excursion to the State Library. The Book fair will be open.
Wednesday: Author Kaz Goodwin will be visiting our Prep to Year 3 students. The Book fair will be open.
Thursday: All students will participate in a Big Write based on the theme Read, Grow, Inspire. The Book fair will be open.
Friday: Students dress up as their favourite book character or as the Book Week theme. There will be a parade and a morning assembly. **Please note that there is a clash with Dendy Athletics falling on the same day as our Book Week Dress Up day. Students attending Dendy Athletics can come to school dressed as their favorite book character on Thursday next week, however we will not be able to hold a parade on Thursday as we have a number of activities and events planned throughout the day.
Throughout the week we will be exploring the short-listed books, running Book Week competitions, reading with our buddy classes and dropping everything to READ! More information will be shared closer to Book Week.
