Annual High School Eurythmy Gathering
We had another successful gathering with Sophia Mundi Steiner School on the 8th of June, which was shared by Y7-12 students. It has been an exciting experience for both high school students, as they showcased each other's works at our theatre. This year was especially great because Sophia Mundi's Y11 & 12 students were able to come and show their amazing work. Our audience, consisting of students from Y4 and above, thoroughly enjoyed the performances, and they are eagerly looking forward to showcasing their own works at our End of the Year Eurythmy Concert.
The following week, our Y9s and Eurythmy Club shared their works with the lower Primary School children, and it was warmly welcomed by the younger audience. In return, the Y3 children eagerly shared their own work as a gesture of thankfulness.
Eurythmy Winter Spiral
We began our Winter Spiral on the day of Winter Solstice this year. Our students eagerly anticipate the Winter Spiral and approach it with reverence. Since last year, we have been harvesting foliage from the grounds of Collingwood College. Despite our school's location in the city, we were fortunate to have an abundance of greens, thanks to the care provided by the Andrews in tending the grounds.
For Eurythmy,
Rie and Vera

World Oceans Day
On Thursday, June 8th Collingwood College celebrated World Oceans Day by having a rubbish collection competition in the schoolyard. Students were given the opportunity to earn points for their house as well as the chance to win one of two canteen vouchers. We had a fantastic turn-out, particularly from the primary school, managing to direct an astounding amount of trash into our waste streams and prevent it entering our waterways. Students in both Bluegum Blue and Wattle Yellow houses were especially good at collecting rubbish.
A big congratulations to LJ in 6A and Blazey in 7Dwho were our top two individual waste collectors. Thank-you to our Yr 10 students: Henri, Bonnie and Max who assisted in counting rubbish. We look forward to our next rubbish competition and more student involvement with sustainability.

On a Wednesday lunch time, photographer James Henry and Rali Beynon animation artists have created some fun activities for all students at our school as part of a lunch time club. This has included flip bookmaking, the use of professional cameras to take photos. There has also been a bit of dancing along the way as well. We also had an open day where parents and students could come along and see the studio.
