LEADERSHIP COMMUNITIES

Our Leadership Communities are motivated to take action to make a positive difference, and to bring about change to our community.

Check out some of the amazing things that have occured during Term 1 for some of our groups. It is no doubt that the collective action of the following groups has made a difference to the lives of our students, our learning community and, even beyond. We are blessed to have such a wonderful staff and community who have supported our students.

Their collective action has called for collaboration, recipocity and commiment. Members of each of the learning communities have joined together with a shared understanding and common goals to take action.

Taking action in the Sustainability Group

Over the past few weeks the sustainability group has been taking action. We have been speaking at assembly, helping to organise gardening club, collecting cutlery for the canteen and last but not least coming early on a Friday morning to participate in meetings with our group leaders, Señora, Ms Smith and Miss Meany.

Gardening club is held every week on a Thursday. Every week Moya comes and helps with the gardening. We plant new seeds, help with digging up soil, watering plants and getting all the children involved. One of our favourite things about gardening club is gardening and getting our hands dirty.

We often speak at assembly about all the things we are doing for our school and the environment, such as promoting gardening club on a Thursday morning or on Friday assembly promoting Earth Hour. We also talk about the bins and how we want to make our school waste free.

Earth Hour was held Friday, Week Eight and, was one of the best things about being in the Sustainability Group. We promoted Earth Hour and on the day we went around to the classes to handed out posters and raffle tickets for those who were successful in finding new ways to do work without technology or electricity.

Our favourite things about being in the Sustainability Group.

Valentina- Year six. I love being in the sustainability group. I have so many good friends and we are always are doing something for our group but my favourite thing so far out of everything was Earth hour. It was so fun handing out all the posters I think everyone loved it as much as I did.

Abby - Year six. One of my favourite things about being in the Sustainability Group was definitely speaking at assembly and promoting all of our ideas for making our school a waste free school.

Veronika - Year Six. My favourite thing about being in the Sustainability Group was 100% Earth Hour and how we got to go around and promote it.

As well as Earth hour, trying to reduce the amount of waste in our school and going up on assembly we are also doing A Cash for Cans fundraiser.

This Year there are 6 Year Six girls running the wellbeing leadership team. Our names are Sophie Roche, Georgia Nano, Ava Frawley, Claire O’Connell, Emily Rasmussen and Ruby Pavlic-Searle. We are responsible for supporting the social skill development of the Holy Trinity students. We are going to be going into classes to share tips, skills and knowledge about the socials skills being taught. This term we have been learning about teamwork and respect.

The slogans we have been sharing with the students are:

Teamwork- “A good team never runs out steam”

Respect- “We respect ourselves, others and the environment”

During Week 9 we have visited the Kinder classes and organised a mini social skill lesson on respect. We had so much fun and enjoyed helping the Kinder students.

This term the Christian Outreach team have been running fundraisers for Caritas Australia.

We have provided each class with a donation box in their classrooms and at the moment we are running the Caritas Australia Easter Raffle. We have also been watching clips in our classrooms about different individuals before and after Caritas supported them. Caritas is a Latin word meaning love and compassion.

What Does Caritas Do?

Caritas Australia fundraise for those in need, Caritas also donates money to the poor and stand up for Aboriginals and the people in third world countries. They run the Project Compassion Appeal each year.

How Does Caritas Australia relate to what Jesus Did?

Jesus would hand out food and water on the streets and put others needs before his own. Caritas Australia does the exact same by donating, fundraising and trying their best to give to others. The Christian Outreach Team have promoted and encouraged others to give back to those in need. We think our message has been delivered because everyone is thinking of others and donating.

Christian Outreach team students consists of Ava, Maddie, Hannah, Amy, Liam and Teah.

The teachers are Misss Capper, Miss Joy, Mrs Twyford and Mrs Brearley.
