International Volunteer Day

December 6, 2025

Friday the 5th December is International Volunteer Day.  Our Student Council have been busy over the past few weeks with an exciting project which involved them interviewing volunteers from the local community.  They have been interviewing local volunteers with Mrs. Brick (Student Council Coordinator), Mrs. Collier and Mr Kearins over the past few weeks. We recorded these interviews and complied them into a video.  We celebrated with a premier of the video today in the hall for all 2nd – 6th Class children. The Student Council and the 6th Class prefects got a big round of applause.
