STUDENT PERSPECTIVE
PRIMARY SRC REPORT YEAR 3: KRISH & EVELYN
Although we ’ ve only just passed halfway through Term 2, it ’ s been a busy and exciting Term. Winter Woolies Day was a huge success! It was so great to see everyone, both students and staff dressed up in their warm and cozy woolies. We managed to raise over $200 for our wonderful school, which will be spent on classroom resources like new books. It was really awesome to feel the school community come together like that and have some fun while supporting The Lakes. On Monday 26th May, we had a very special event during our assembly for National Reconciliation Week. Amaria Stark came to speak to us and share her story. She talked about her book Silent Sentinel: The Story of a Redgum. She shared the story behind her book and explained how it connects to the themes of National Reconciliation Week. We read her book in class, and we were amazed by the beautiful illustrations and the powerful message about connection to land and culture. Hearing her speak in person made the story even more special. National Reconciliation Week reminds us to recognise the past, respect Indigenous cultures, and build stronger relationships between all Australians. It was inspiring to learn about these important ideas and think about how we can contribute to reconciliation in our own lives.
Overall, it ’ s been an inspiring week where we not only supported our school but also learned more about respect, culture, and reconciliation. We ’ re proud to be part of such a caring and connected community!
SECONDARY SRC REPORT YEAR 9: KRIS & KIARA
The Year 9’ s have been really focused on their schooling this Term. We have all been working through a number of CATs, assessment tasks and revision for our very first taste of exams. We are nervous but looking forward to practicing working in exam conditions. As we come to the end of Term 2, we are keen to start our Semester 2 timetable and start our round of new electives. This Term the Year 9 and 10’ s represented our school at interschool sports. The boys played soccer while the girls played netball. Both teams performed well and won a few games, we are looking forward to interschool basketball in Term 3.
Some Year 9 leaders were given the opportunity to attend the Year 7 Camp, this was a great experience where we built relationships with and learnt to lead some of the younger students in our school.
By the time we write our next article we will be able to tell you all about our City Experience that is coming up in Term 3. We are all really excited to explore the city and attend a bunch of cool events and see places many of us have never seen before.
