From the Year 5 Classroom

Year 6 2027 Polo shirt and Rugby jumper

Hopefully families have had a chance to visit Judds to try on and order their Year 6 2027 tops. This needs to be done by Monday 9th Novemberto ensure delivery of the polo shirts prior to the beginning of term 1 next year. Rugby jumpers take a little longer to manufacture and will be delivered by mid-late February 2027. For the polo shirt, designs were shared with the Year 5 cohort, who voted for their favourite. The chosen design is titled Learning in Circles. The concept places community at the heart of learning - where children, families and teachers come together to share stories, knowledge and support. The central gathering circle represents unity, inclusion and belonging, reflecting school as a safe and welcoming place for all. Next year, rather than hoodies, the Year 6s will have the opportunity to purchase a rugby jumper to wear throughout the year. Please note: Rugby jumpers are not compulsory.

See the final designs below. The price of Polo shirts is $45 and Rugby jumpers $109.

The students had a great time with their kinder visits in preparation for meeting their buddies. A big thank you to Yarrawonga Preschool, Trikki Kidz, Country Buddies (Woods Road and Zorro Drive) and Goodstart Early Learning Centre for their support of our Yr 5's on their visits.

Today, after a morning of Kanga 8s cricket, the Yr 5's headed back to meet their 2027 buddies. They worked together to complete paper bag teddies, participated in cooperative play ... board games, construction, puzzles and had a play on the junior playground. To finish off they met the Mums, Dads and guardians of their buddies.
