Year 5 Servant Leadership Day

On Thursday 5th October Year 10 students from St Peters College visited St Agatha's for the day to lead a Servant Leadership Program with all our Year 5 students. The Year 10 students organised the activities including prayer, scripture stories, a drawing response focusing on leadership and games. 

It was amazing to see the engaging student interaction and relationships that developed throughout the day and the connections of servant leadership between all the students. This event starts the student Leadership Program for our Year 5 students as they seek Year 6 leadership positions for 2023. Student feedback from our Year 5 students was fantastic!

After such long COVID restrictions it is wonderful to re-establish programs such as the Servant Leadership Program with an emphasis on faith, leadership, student voice and cross age engagement.

We thank St Peter's College and the Year 10 students and look forward to continuing such important events.

 

Socktober 2022

 

Dear Parents and Carers,

 

Our Mini Vinnies social justice focus for Mission Week Term 4 will be SOCKTOBER.  We participated in Socktober last year by making our own soccer balls as classes and playing with them on a special day to fundraise. 

 

Again, this year, students have been asked to bring these materials to make the sockballs in class.

  • String
  • Used socks
  • Old T shirts
  • Bubble wrap
  • Polystyrene
  • Recyclable plastic bags
  • Paper eg: newspaper

Please help your child/ children to collect these materials and send them by the end of term.

Our SOCKTOBER DAY is Term 4 Monday 10th October. Year 6 Mini Vinnies students will help to coordinate the day. Each class will have an opportunity to kick their sockballs in a variety of activities at school.

 

Students may wear their house colours on the day.

We ask that the children bring gold coin donations on the day.

All money raised goes to Catholic missions and this year the money goes to supporting the people of Ethiopia.

 

Here is the video about how the children will make a sock ball
