Junior School Activity Update
From Kate Strahorn, Junior School Representative
SPORTING HEROES DAY
On Friday 20 October students were asked to come to school dressed as their favourite sporting hero. P & F Junior School Representatives coordinated the event and provided a sausage sizzle and ice blocks while the students enjoyed playing games on the main oval at lunch time.
Year 6 students excelled at running the sport activities on the oval and the opportunity for Junior and Senior students to mix together at lunch was an aspect of the event that the students valued highly.
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful parents for organising the students' uniforms and supporting our fundraising efforts - funds raised will go towards school facilities.
WORLD TEACHERS' DAY
On Friday 27 October the P&F is providing an opportunity for our community to come together and thank our exceptional educators by providing the teachers with coffee and a baked treat for morning tea. In the Junior School, the students will also be creating appreciation cards for their teachers and our parents will be there to assist with collection at drop off time.
On World Teacher's Day, we would like to take our hats off to all Kinross Wolaroi teachers for their skilled work in educating, inspiring and supporting our students. Their unwavering dedication, ability to adapt, and constant support have truly emphasised the vital role they play. We couldn't be prouder of our incredible teachers! A heartfelt thank you for everything you do.
