Year 6 News

From Ben F, Year 6 teacher 

Emerging Leaders

It's been a busy couple weeks in year 6, with Athletic Sport days, Leadership conferences and celebrating our very last book week. We are also now in countdown mode for Ski camp which is now only 2 weeks away. Here is school captain Andrej to reflect on the leadership conference and Inaaya from 6F to recall her very first Book Week experience as a student at NMPS.

As school leaders, we got to experience an amazing opportunity… getting to meet with students from all the way across the world! Asialink’s “Emerging Leaders” conference was a series of zoom calls on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We learnt many helpful leadership skills and got to share them and many other ideas with students all across Asia. But the main idea, was that we had to find a problem with our school and devise multiple ideas to fix it. Ours being disrespect towards teachers. Not much of a problem at our school, but we wanted to think of an original idea. Once we were done, we got to share ideas in front of almost 50 other schools,  and it went really well! We were so grateful and lucky to have this experience and really enjoyed it.

Book Week was definitely something this year. It was a time of creativity and fun. Coming from the grade sixes was a ridiculous amount of Grug, a book series enjoyed by all students. On the day of the character parade, Year 6 teachers rocked Grug costumes and Ben’s was definitely hands down one of the greatest costumes I have seen a teacher wear. Other teachers had costume themes like Pig the Pug, Shrek and Charlotte’s Web. Although the year 6s didn’t win any contests, the joy was still the same. As it’s my first year at NMPS I was certainly unprepared for the sea of wild costumes at the Molesworth Campus. The parade was great and it felt brilliant to watch all of the students rock their creative and hilarious costumes. As suspected, Book Week 2025 was a success.
