Year 7 Introduction Day

On Tuesday, 12th August, we held our Year Seven Introduction Day. This was a day that was organised in order to get to know a bit more about the Year 7 students that are enrolled for 2016. During the morning, students underwent some testing in Numeracy and Literacy, along with the opportunity to be involved in some ‘get to know you‘ activities. The morning was finished off with a BBQ lunch. During the morning, the parents also attended a Parent Seminar where the advantages and pathways of continuing the journey at St Andrews were outlined. If you missed this event you can get a brochure from Reception.

6L Fundraiser Report

On Thursday 6th August, Year 6L held a fundraiser. We plastered posters around the school to let everyone know that we wanted to raise money to donate to UNICEF,  who would then buy water pumps to provide water for children in countries that do not have ready access to clean water. We sold spiders, ice-cream and jelly bean guesses. We also ran a “Book-a-Butler" service, where teachers could ‘hire’ us to help clean their classrooms, polish their shoes or help with their students. We all enjoyed doing that a lot!!! 

We raised $1,067.05, which means we will be able to provide 2 water pumps to 2 needy communities.

Thank you everyone for buying our products and hiring us as butlers. Thank you to all the parents for their donations of money and food. Big thank you to Mrs Lee for all your ideas, planning and organisation. I would like to thank Mr Ferguson, Mrs Rowley and Mrs Rowland for helping plan for the day and helping on the day as well. Thank you to 6F for helping us with the poster. Most of all I would like to give a BIG thank you to 6L, for a fantastic effort in running things smoothly and working as a team.

It was a great event and I hope everyone had fun and enjoyed it as much as I did.

Art

Students in Year 6 have been franticly folding origami birds and butterflies (and a few unidentifiable creatures) to create an ‘installation’ at the “What’s in the Box” artist’s and designer’s market to be held at the Box Hill town hall on Saturday 12th September from 10am to 3pm.

Fliers about the market are available at the Reception office or ask Mrs Brown for more information.
