Grade 6
On Wednesday 1st Nov, our Year 6s participated in a Community Outreach & Wellbeing day. They arrived fresh in the morning and headed off to Headspace, where they listened to an engaging presentation from the team on looking after yourself, as well as a tour of the facilities. From there, the group headed off to Fitmob for a fun and energetic Physical Health session – including a spin class and planking competition! Lastly, the students spent the afternoon at their respective 2024 schools – Echuca College and St Joe’s. These involved tours of the facilities and some great discussions from both staff and students about all things secondary school!
The students returned to ETRS feeling a little less anxious and very excited for what’s ahead 😊
A huge thanks to the Headspace Team, FitMob Team, Echuca College staff and St Joe’s staff for making this happen and being so welcoming and supportive of our students!
