Young Leaders Program

This year, our Grade 5/6 leaders have had an amazing time being part of the Young Leaders Program!

Throughout the year, we got to visit different schools for leadership days, where we met new people, made friends and learnt lots of things about being a good leader. We did fun activities, worked in teams and learnt how important it is to listen to others, be respectful and help people.

One of our favourite parts was visiting other schools and getting to know different students. We also got to hear from some amazing guest speakers, including Ben from the Melbourne Storm, Nicky who used to play for the Matildas, and singer Benny Craig. They taught us about friendship, making good choices and never giving up.

On Wednesday, October 21, we had our very last leadership day for the year at Wallan Secondary College. It was exciting but also a little sad because it was our last time coming together after such a great year. Our Grade 6 leaders were sad to see it end, but our Grade 5 leaders are already excited to be part of it again next year!

Looking back, we have learnt so much about teamwork, confidence, responsibility and what it means to be a good role model. We have also made lots of great memories and friendships along the way.

We are really thankful that we got to be part of the Young Leaders Program. It has been an awesome experience that we will always remember!

Primary Regional Athletics – Albury

Seven primary students attended the Regional Athletics in Albury on Friday 16 October. The early start didn’t dampen their enthusiasm, and we were greeted by beautiful blue skies, creating perfect conditions for both the track and field events.

Throughout the day, our students proudly displayed the College values, demonstrating great sportsmanship and determination. They also showed fantastic leadership by offering encouragement and support to our Special Education students. It was wonderful to see our students cheering one another on!

F2A and F2B Report

This term, F2A and F2B have been learning to write a recount. Students have been learning about the important information to include, and have been recalling the when, who and where details. They are also developing their knowledge of time connectives to list events in the order they occurred. Students have been using the language first, then, next, finally. Each day, students have participated in a range of activities to practice their recount skills. Creating memorable moments helps students to recall the events that have occurred. Some of our activities have included:

• Crossing the road safely.
• Playing tiggy with the teachers being the chasers.
• Being courageous by climbing the big ladder and sliding down.
• Completing an obstacle course.

We are extremely proud of the progress our students have made in completing this unit of work.

Year 5/6 Acrostic Poems

In Writing, students have been exploring acrostic poems, using creativity and descriptive language to bring their chosen words to life. Students have been working hard on their poems, and we are sharing a few wonderful examples of their work below.

School Life

Sometimes school feels like it goes on forever, 

Classmates and friends make every day better. 

Hard work and tests can be tough, 

On some days, I've honestly had enough. 

Other days are filled with laughter and fun, 

Learning new things until the day's done.

Lunchtime is great when we get to play, 

It's always the best part of my day. 

Friends stick together through thick and thin, 

Every school day is a chance to begin.
