Year 7 Scavenger Hunt - 3rd February
The Year 12 Vocational Major (VM) students planned a special scavenger hunt for each Year 7 Homeroom. They planned different riddles, activities, and tasks for the Year 7 students to go around and learn more about our Killester community. When completed, they received lollies and treats. My partner and I planned a scavenger hunt for St Elizabeth, we split them up into four groups to go off and complete each task. The scavenger hunt brought the Year 7 cohort closer together by learning new buildings and working with other students in their class. They were extra cheerful when receiving their prizes. The Year 7 students recommend this for all future Year 7 students as it is a great activity for them to bond as a Homeroom.
