Holy Trinity Primary, Wantirna South

Next term Miss Hiscox and the Environment Leaders are working together to create a gardening club. One of our big project will be to revamp our “beautiful” veggie patch and make it a bit more sustainable. Students will get the chance to join in with the club which will take place each week.

Also our school is becoming more green every day by reducing , reusing and recycling our rubbish. Each will also be working on becoming more sustainable by getting their very own compost bin as well.

Keep an eye on the school blog for future posts about our school becoming more and more green.

This year in Year 2, we have been lucky enough to take part in a Pen Pal program with two Year 2 classes from a school in Queensland. The students received the letters today and are very excited about writing and sending letters back and forth throughout the year! 

On Thursday the Grade 4’s had the opportunity to visit Mater Christi and St Joseph’s to experience life in high school. During this time they visited different areas of the school, met some of the teachers and played games.

During the St Joseph’s visit the boys played drum pads, created art pieces and played 360 degree ball. At Mater Christi, the girls were involved in science experiments, a scavenger hunt and played noodle tag!

They all had a fantastic time!

The Year 3 and 4 students participated in a fantastic incursion which immersed them in knowledge and activities related to rules, laws and the basics of democracy. They experienced a mock council meeting and a local government voting role play scenario. It was a rich and enjoyable experience.

After a really good night sleep amongst most campers we woke to a delicious breakfast including pancakes. We cleaned our rooms which took a very long time for some cabins …. not mentioning any names. We had one final play on the beach and had an early lunch so we could depart on time. After some final thank yous we left Waratah Bay at midday. We are expecting to be back at HT at around 3pm on the basketball court.

We have had an awesome camp but are looking forward to seeing our families + our comfortable beds.

Here is a couple of surfing videos from yesterday.

Today we were on camp enjoying a long walk along the beach (we were told it was 6km altogether). Whilst we were there we spent some time in the rockpools exploring lots of the little sea creatures that live there. We also surfed and had a safety brief where we learned how to use the lifesaver tubes.

It was amazing how fun so many of the activity groups were. Most students really enjoyed the flying fish giant swing, the nitro crossing challenge (not with real nitro), the low ropes course, beach volleyball and the treasure island challenge.

We will always remember these moments but are also looking forward to coming back home soon to see our families.

We will send through one more blog post before we return back to HT tomorrow.

Hi everyone.

We have arrived to a beautiful day and a lovely camp site.

Our journey was good particularly watching the movies on bus. We stopped off at Coal Creek for a break and bite to eat. On arriving at camp we had lunch, sorted out a cabin groups and organised our activity groups.

This afternoon we completing some activities including the giant swing, obstacle course and surfing.

We will send another post through later on to update everyone of our day.
