School Events: 

Enterprise Market:

As part of our Economics curriculum in Grade 5/6, students will be involved in an Enterprise Learning Program. Enterprise Market is an excellent program to develop a range of life-long skills:

  • Distinguish between goods and services, as well as needs and wants
  • Understand how to be an informed consumer
  • Gain an understanding of personal money management and the role of banking, budgeting, profit/loss and saving
  • The ability to work in a team and improve communication skills
  • Time management
  • Willingness to take responsibility and show initiative

 

Students work in small groups to develop a ‘Small Business’ idea.

All goods and services made and produced by students over will be for sale at an ‘Enterprise Market’ usually on the same afternoon as the Christmas Carols.

 

Money raised will go towards;

  • Full cost of the grade 6 Big Day Out (final day excursion of that year)
  • Part cost of the Grade Six Jackets for the following year (the remainder of the jacket costs will be paid by parents, which will be dependent on the amount raised at the Enterprise Market and the number of students in Grade 6)

Colour Fun Run:

Our Colour Fun Run is a yearly funraising event for the school. Not only oes it help our school, our students have lots of fun on the day.

Students are encouraged to wear white on the day, where they run and obstacle course whilst being covered in coloured chalk. This day is a popular day on our school calendar. 

 

Year 6 Public Speaking Program

During Term 3, students in 5/6 participate in a speech writing unit. Students participate in targetted sessions designed to find out what makes an effective speech, view examples of exceptional speeches and craft a personal speech on a topic of choice.

 

At the conclusion of this unit, students present their speeches to their peers.

The two most successful peers are selected to present their speech at the Emerald and District Rotary Speech Contest.
