On Tuesday 28 our year 3 students will participate in the Red Cross Pillow Case Project.
This one hour workshop is delivered by trained Australian Red Cross volunteers and is designed to help children prepare for, cope with and respond to emergencies.
The workshop has been developed with links to the Australia and State-based Curriculum Learning areas, in particular Health & Physical Education and Humanities & Social Sciences.
The workshop has been shown to strengthen students’ preparedness knowledge, lessen fears relating to emergencies, and has led to better responses in an emergency. For more information about the workshop, visit redcross.org.au/pillowcase-workshops/
In March, the Year 6 Student Councillor team participated in the ROAR Student Leadership Summit at the Mundaring Arena. Four schools took part in this event: Mundaring, Helena Valley, Gidgegannup, and Parkerville Primary Schools. The students were organised into diverse teams, where they collaborated to address various challenges. Throughout the event, they demonstrated strong leadership by applying critical and higher order thinking to develop strategic solutions and work towards achieving a shared objective. Our Year 6 students: Layla, Jai, Jax, Luka, Piper, and Matilda, embraced these challenges, gaining valuable leadership skills and, most importantly, refining their abilities through hands-on experience and teamwork. We were very proud to have this awesome group of students represent our school.
