=Foundation area outside learning environment= //November 2009-February 2010// The student council have been helping come up with ideas for the new play area at school. Each class in Primary School discussed ideas with each other and wrote down what they wanted in the area. They also drew their ideal play area. After lots of hard work the area is almost ready for us to use. Click here to have a look at some more pictures of the area.

=Raising money for Haiti= //January 2010// The student council came up with some great ideas to raise money for Haiti. After lots of discussions they decided to have a non-uniform day where children could pay at least $1 to come in their own clothes or costumes. They also came up with the idea of a sponsored silence. Each child from Year 1 upwards stayed silent for at least half an hour and got sponsored to do so. Primary school alone managed to raise over $2000!! The whole school managed to raise over $2700. We also decided to collect tinned food and bottled water to give to the Red Cross to send to Haiti. Click here to see some more photographs.

=BSQ Christmas Appeal 2009= //December 2009// The student council helped to decide what they wanted to do for this years BSQ Christmas Appeal. They wanted the children from the local school of 'Escuela General Pintag' to come to our school to receive their presents. They also wanted to make shoe boxes filled with gifts again instead of giving just one gift as all the children felt that it was a good experience and they enjoyed buying their gifts and giving them to the chidren.

=Valentines Day 2009= //February 2009//

All children could come dressed in red or pink to represent Valentines Day. The money raised went towards helping a local underprivaledged school.

=Quiet area= //January 2009// The student council worked with their classmates to come up with some ideas for the quiet area outside of the Primary classes. They discussed what they wanted in the area and drew some pictures. Mrs Johnson was then able to use their ideas to come up with a quiet place where children could rest and read a book or play cards during break and lunch times. The area is now fenced in and as well as hammocks, there is a new pergola with plants growing up it and picnic benches for chidren to sit at.

=Green Day= //December 2008//

All children could dress up in Green to represent the environment.
