Year 6 Leadership Day at St Louis

On Monday we went to St Louis de Montfort's to participate in our final Leadership Day. Here are some of our thoughts:

Archie Z: I enjoyed the happiness and joy the day brought.

Grace W: Leadership was amazing. I made new friends and I learnt the responsibility of being a leader. There was a lot of teamwork. Even though I found the teamwork challenging, I learnt a lot from the experience and I found it fun.

Joshua B: It was a memorable and an exciting event.

Tabitha C - I enjoyed the teamwork and friendship. It was fun getting to hang out with my friends from different schools and being able to do my presentation with my leadership group.

Oriarna P: I found Leadership challenging, but really fun. It was full of laughter, responsibility and excitement.

House Colour Lunch

Today we had our House Lunch where we all got together to have lunch with our friends from our house colour. It was the perfect day to enjoy lunch outside.

Running Club

Running club this week

Laps run = 173

Km run = 8.7km

Total Km = 257km

We are on the Hume Fwy/National Hwy passing Wangaratta

We are 74km away from Albury

COME ON EVERYONE!! join us Tuesday morning at 8:15am. Help us get those final laps in so that we make it to Albury for Christmas. It would be pretty boring to have to camp on the Hume over Christmas instead of enjoying all Albury has to offer!!

Thank You to St Bedes

We thank the St Bedes 'Vocational Major' students for creating our new planter box. Here is the impressive result.
