Student Leaders Report
The start of the year has been an amazing start for staff and students, so far, we’ve had the Bee Workshop, where we learned about bees around the world and 3-6s cleaned up our foreshore for Clean Up Australia day. The Antarctica classroom came on the 6th of March, and on the 10th of March, the leaders are attending the GRIP conference in Launceston. Look out for the Lego competition, which is always a huge hit with lots of amazing entries. Entries are due on the 19th March. Harmony Day is on Friday 21st where we will be celebrating the diversity in our community.
At the start of term, the School Association had a welcome afternoon tea. Thank you to Julia and Ian for setting up the afternoon tea and thank you to the blue edge bakery for organizing the cupcakes. It was wonderful to see the community come together.
This year’s Grade 6 leaders have divided into three groups: Community, Assembly and Belonging. The Community group will organise a fundraiser every term which will add up to the gift the grade 6s will buy for the school. They will also report on what the Leaders have been up to in sharing assemblies and in the newsletter.
The Assembly group will be organising the Assemblies for the term and making sure the rosters for flags and line up are organised. They will also manage the sports equipment for recess and lunch.
Finally, the belonging group finds a way for everyone to belong to the school and community. This year we are focussing on building connection between students. Our belonging group have already created friendship benches to help people connect at recess and lunch.
Every term, Grade 6 Leaders will cycle through the groups so everyone gets a turn at each role. We have also been working on what it means to be a leader and we have each made a leadership goal to help us be the leaders we want to be. We are looking forward to working together to improve belonging and connection at school and becoming better leaders.
We hope you have had a wonderful start to the year and have a great rest of the term!
