Junior School Council

This week our Junior School Council representatives met to plan out our Term 3 events across the school. The students discussed the attributes of leaders, and what they can do to make things happen! They will collate feedback and ideas from their cohort before we meet again after the holidays to finalise our plans. Sofia Courtney has taken on the responsibility of supporting this student group, and presented them all with their own leadership planning portfolio this week!

We are looking forward to their input around book week fundraising and community charity donations.

Leadership in Action

Congratulations and well done to Zali Wouda and Scarlett Grunewald in Year 5, who organised the greatest accessory stall of all time, in preparation for the Neon Rodeo. The girls, along with the generosity and help of their parents, ran a stall selling neon and glow-in-the-dark accessories for the disco - contributing to our fundraising profit from the event. Well done you two - fantastic entrepreneurialism!
