STUDENT PERSPECTIVE
YEAR 5 REFLECTION TADANA & KATELYN YEAR 5 SRC
This term has been so exciting and full of fun learning experiences! One of my favourite highlights was our excursion to the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV). As part of our Primary Arts curriculum in Year 5, we ’ ve been learning how to express ourselves using different art forms. At the NGV, we saw so many amazing artworks and creative displays. It was really inspiring to see how artists use colours, shapes, and different materials to share their ideas and stories. We got lots of ideas for our own artwork that we're working on for the upcoming Primary Art Show on Wednesday 17 th September. Another fun moment was Book Week Dress - Up Day on Thursday 14th August. Everyone came in such cool costumes, it was so funny seeing so many Oompa Loompas walking around! Mr Abney - Hastings dressed as Willy Wonka and did his famous flip, which made everyone laugh. Even the teachers joined in with amazing outfits!
On Wednesday 10th September, the whole Year 5 cohort is going to Preston Market. This links to our Geography Inquiry unit where we ’ re learning about different world regions like Europe, Asia, and North America. We ’ re exploring their landscapes, traditions, foods, and how they ’ re connected to us in Australia. The Preston Market is a multicultural place, and we ’ ll get to see and taste things from all over the world. We ’ re excited to explore the stalls and discover new things about different cultures. This term has helped us see how art, culture, and global connections are all around us, in galleries, costumes, markets, and more!

Highlights of 2025 so far:
What we ’ re looking forward to:

One of the biggest achievements this year was putting together our school production, which gave so many of us a chance to shine both on and off stage. The Teachers vs Students basketball game wasn ’ t just fun to watch - it also helped raise over $1000 for Cancer Council ’ s Daffodil Day, proving how much our school can do when everyone gets behind a cause. For drama, they had the opportunity to see Yong live. It was a powerful experience and gave students fresh ideas to bring back into their own performance and analyse for upcoming SAC The new ping pong tables have quickly turned into the heart of recess breaks - they ’ re always busy, and they ’ ve brought a whole new energy to the schoolyard
There ’ s talk of adding futsal to interschool sports, and a lot of us are excited about the chance to try something new and competitive. To end the year, we ’ re hoping for another big event - maybe a sleepover at school or even a trip to Bounce - something to celebrate together as a cohort. Biology students are going on a zoo excursion, where they ’ ll get to see animal adaptations and ecosystems up close instead of just in a textbook, giving them data for their upcoming SAC. Food Studies might be heading to William Angliss, giving students a real taste of what it ’ s like to cook in a professional setting.
