Opening Message - Leadership Groups
Already this term we have been bust with fundraising for our partner school Evaland Hekima in Kenya. We have had success with each of the fundraisers already raising over $3000!
Coin Heart Day has been our most successful fundraiser. Students had to bring in coins to make the biggest and most valuable heart. 5/6 Green made the biggest and 1 White made the most valuable!
Crazy Hair Day was lots of fun as everyone came to school with crazy hair. We visited each class to collect the gold coin donations and take photos of students with their crazy hair!
Raising money for Evaland Hekima is so important as they are not as fortunate as us. Also, with the global pandemic they are unable to return to school like us as they do not have the resources to keep them safe.
Tess – I really enjoy visiting all the classes and helping the kids on coin heart day.
Tamera – I have like being in the Christian Outreach group because I got to work with new people and I like raising money for our GPS.
Stella – I love the Christian Outreach group because I like seeing how happy the kids are when winning the lollies or dressing up on crazy hair day.
Sophia – Being a part of the Christian Outreach group this term has made me feel good because I was doing something for others and the money we are raising is going to help Evaland Hekima.
Hello, we are the Sports committee. We are happy to be taking on the responsibility of lunch time sports, taking care of the sports shed, helping facilitate the colour run and numerous other activities. Read down below to find out more about what goes on in the sports committee.
Colour Run: We are happy to say that we will be continuing with the Colour Run, in week 9, Friday, Term 3. The Colour Run will be hosted by the Sports and Wellbeing committee. Everyone from ELC to Year 6 will be walking or running around the set course within their grades. It will be a super fun day, with different activities on the netball courts and blacktop along with snacks throughout the day. We are super excited to have DJ Feerick pumping out cool music. Make sure to remember to bring a white shirt for the day to come home colourful. If you do not want to be squirted with the chalk, we will have cones set up that you can go around without being squirted. See you guys there! P.S the colours are not harmful.
Year 2 Sport: We are pleased to announce the year 2's will be able to participate in a new lunchtime sports rotation. The sports committee has kindly provided the year 2's with different sports they can play. For example soccer, handball, rob the nest etc. This will be held next Tuesday at lunch and the sports committee have already gone around to classes asking who would like to join.
Sports Shed: The Year Six sport leaders have been very busy cleaning out the sports shed so that everything is easy to access. Although we have cleaned it, it does not mean students can just come and grab whatever they want as we have been losing our school property (the sports equipment). We went through and marked the flat balls with large X's, we pumped them all up then returned two weeks later and any ball that had gone flat got thrown out.
Year 6 and Teachers Sport: This term we have been running a year 6 vs teachers sport competition. Students and teachers have been participating in various sports such as netball, soccer, basketball, touch football and bin ball. Teams have been playing on alternate weeks and top teams will advance to the finals held in week 10. Go Year 6!!
Gardening Club: This term the Gardening Club has been growing kale, beetroot, broccoli, broccolini, cauliflower, broad beans, cabbage and herbs. We have been harvesting all of the vegetables, which have been given to the canteen to help make the delicious and healthy lunches.
Composting: At the end of Term 2, we introduced the composting bin for the food scraps and biodegradable canteen waste. Each week the sustainability leaders collect the waste from the canteen bin and the classes food scraps to be composted. We hope to use the compost in the kitchen garden in the future.
Canteen Bin: The canteen bin located next to the other bins carries the biodegradable bags and containers from the canteen. This term the sustainability group has put the contents of that bin into the compost to reduce the waste from the canteen. It is very sustainable and is a good option for our school. If children can try to put all their leftover food in the other bins it would help us a lot.
We achieved a lot as Well-being Warriors such as the proposal for a chill out zone, and supporting students during lunch, recess and morning duty!
My leadership has changed because we are looking after the kids at play time. I’ve really enjoyed organizing the proposal for the chill out zone. I would like to further influence the walk to school program, revisit no hat no play policy and upgrading the chill out zone.- Ginger P
As Well-being warriors, we have achieved great progress and have had lots and lots of fun. My leadership has changed a lot and I have loved it because of how good this group is. I have enjoyed a lot of it and I have had so much fun doing it. We can continue to change our leadership by believing in them self’s putting themselves in other peoples shoes and making people have fun and feel free and I want our leadership to be remembered.- Olivia M
We have achieved so much this term including helping children with hot tips in the morning. My leadership has changed by thinking different and acting more responsible. I have enjoyed being able to wear pink vests on our rostered days. In the future, I would like to help Year 5 to learn how to act like a true leader for the younger students.- Maeve L
As Well-being Warriors, we have worked hard on preparing and proposing the chill out zone corner My leadership has changed because I have done extra jobs and amazing new stuff. I have really enjoyed the love and support in the well-being group. In the future, I can still be an amazing well-being leader even without my pink vest and continue to keep pushing for the chill out zone.-Evelyn C
This term, we have helped and instructed kids about wellbeing through the hot tips that we do every morning over the PA. Being part iof the Well-being Leadership group has given me more opportunities to help kids learn and enjoy their playtime. I have really enjoyed working with my team and creating ideas for the school. I like that we can leave our mark on the school and help the kids in the future learn.- Harris G
As Well-being Warriors, we have definitely helped the younger kids and I feel as though the Well-being group didn’t have much to offer but now I feel as though there is a lot we are doing to help the well-being of students. When kids came to me and I helped them, I felt happy that I made an impact. In the future, I’d like to ask the little kids what they think of different things, so we can help them.- Harry O
This term we have begun the chill out zone initiative as discussed with Mrs Brearley. I feel I have become a little less shy to show leadership and have enjoyed solving problems that are created on the playground. In the future, I would like to see the chill out zone happen and by looked after.- Will C
As Well-being Warriors, we have created a new announcement that goes over the loud speaker called Well-being Hot tips! This is where we tell the students of Holy Trinity tips about how to stay healthy and have a good day. We have also proposed a Chill Out Zone, this is where when kids are feeling stressed or worried they can come and calm down. My leadership skills have changed because I don’t feel as nervous when talking to older students if they are in trouble. I think this is because I have spent more time with the students of Holy Trinity. I have enjoyed creating and helping to begin the creation of the Chill Out Zone. In the future, when we see needs in the playground or school we should address them. Also upgrading the Chill Out Zone when it has finished.- Charlise W
This term we have helped kids and made them feel like now they don’t have to worry. I also feel like that now they feel comforted and that they have someone to talk to. As a leader, I can see we have more responsibility. We have more voice and action. I have enjoyed that we have all very supportive and we get to experience new things that help the wellbeing of the students. In the future,I would like to see our leaders help the school in the well-being cycle and upgrade everything.- Alessia G
As well-being warriors, we have helped others and made our school community a safe and friendly environment. I feel that this term, I have been more involved in school and our community. I have enjoyed helping the school. In the future, we can make the school a more environment friendly community.- Maddie H
