Year 5/6 Charity Market
🎉 Year 5/6 Charity Market Stall – A Huge Success!
Our Year 5/6 students became entrepreneurs for a day, running their very own charity market stall as part of their economics unit — and what a fantastic success it was! With weeks of planning, budgeting, and teamwork behind them, each group brought their creative ideas to life, offering everything from handmade crafts and games to sweet treats and fun services.
The school community came out in full force, and the stall was buzzing with excited shoppers, clever advertising, and plenty of enthusiastic salespeople. There was a wonderful atmosphere of fun, generosity, and purpose.
Thanks to everyone’s support, the students raised an amazing $1,401.95 all of which will be donated to the researched charities of their choice. We’re incredibly proud of the way our students worked together and used their learning to make a real difference.
