Prime Minister Award
‘Being a steward of creation’, ‘Trying your best’, ‘Speaking with kindness’ and ‘Being a responsible learner’ are some of the qualities that teachers consider when awarding ‘Prime Minister’ at our weekly assembly. It is an acknowledgement of the student’s efforts and they have the privilege of wearing the badge with honour, of suggesting a focus the school can work on, award Gotchas to other students at lunch time as well as earning Gotchas for themselves. Congratulations goes to Ava Buchannan (Week 9) and Breanna Swierczynski (Week 10).
Mary MacKillop Award - Term 3
This award is presented to one student each term that consistently goes above and beyond to put the needs of others first. This award is founded on one of the most motivating and known sayings of Saint Mary MacKillop “never see a need without doing something about it” (1871). We present this award to someone who follows in Saint Mary’s footsteps by reaching out to the most needy and vulnerable in our school community. Congratulations goes to Matilda Robinson.
What's been happening in Year 2
Year 2 are having a busy third term. In English we have been learning all about narrative including how to structure this text type and hook the reading in the opening paragraph. Our focus in Math has been around multiplication and division and learning to problem solve by looking for key words and numbers. In Religion we are learning about the New Testament and stories and lessons of Jesus.
The students are enjoying Music in Creative Arts and have been learning some classic tunes on the glockenspiel such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Ode to Joy and Hedwig's Theme.
