Catholic Education Week Mass & Picnic

Gateways
On Monday a number of our students participated in the Gateways program. We asked Tahlia X (5/6C) what she thought about Gateways.
What was your favourite part of Gateways?
My favorite bit about gateways was learning about all the types of poetry and learning new skills on writing narratives.
Craft Club
Interview with Jess L (5/6C) and Juliet E (5/6C) about our New Craft Club
Recently we were at a Wellbeing Rep Meeting and the activity was to find a new lunchtime club. Jess came up with the idea of a Craft Club. About 2 weeks later we were called down to the office. We were both worried we were in trouble but Mrs Thredgold, the Wellbeing Teacher told us that we were going to run craft club! We started to make signs and brought some things from home to make a very successful lunchtime club. Craft Club started two weeks ago and we have had lots of children turn up each Friday. We have even made announcements about Craft Club over the school PA. Come along tomorrow lunchtime if you would like to try out 'Craft Club'.
