We’ve had such an enjoyable day at the College to conclude this the second last week of term.
There were 3 special events – the Prep to Year 2 Tabloid Athletics carnival with a large parent audience, and assisted by our Year 9 PASS and Year 10 PD/H PE classes; the Year 5 Design Projects with a display and conversation with parents, teachers and junior students, and over 100 Year 9 students are taking part in the overnight Bronze Duke of Edinburgh hike in the Mt Ku-ring-gai National Park.
Year 5 students invited their parents into the classroom to view their passion project. They have been working on this for several months and presented their research and hard work in a visual presentation. Some of these projects included cooking books, Innovations in portable soccer goals and table tennis and go-karts, animation and stop-motion videos and songs, an online retail outlet for jewellery, just to name a few.
Last week we held the ‘Hassall Gift’, the special annual all-age relay event. Four students in every grade from Prep to Year 12 ran to represent their grade and house in a 100m relay event. All students from Prep to Year 12 gathered on the oval to cheer on their house groups. This is perhaps the only special occasion where we come together as a whole College to support teammates. There was such talent across the grades and Carmichael was the winner of both races!
Our Year 12 students graduate next week and we look forward to celebrating their achievements in a Graduation Assembly on Friday, many of whom have been students at the College since Prep. We will be praying for them during this time as they prepare for their HSC exams.
Thank you once again for your support across the term. Please enjoy the break.
