From the Year 6 Madrichim

2020 has been a crazy year but that hasn’t stopped us. Despite having meetings on Zoom during home learning we have still been able to achieve most of our goals for this year.

In Term 1, we started planning Anti-bullying Day only to have COVID-19 put a stop to our program. We had organised a crazy day filled with inspirational quotes and messages to remind everyone about the effect of bullying. The theme we came up with was building buddies. We had a competition where students would send in a video showing how bullying is not okay. We also had a section of the day devoted to building a lego mural of one student helping another up. This activity had to be postponed and we were luckily able to make it a part of Enrichment Day. 

In Term 2, NSW went into a full lockdown and the only students allowed in school were those who had parents working in essential areas. Madrichim meetings moved online and we focused on creating fun news of the fortnight videos, to inform students about what was going on in the world around them, as well as bring them a fun show. 

Moving onto Term 3, the Madrichim focused on a new addition to the calendar, Book Week. Students were told to dress up as their favourite Book Week character, for a day filled with activities related to Book Week. One of which was a redesign of a book cover. Students put on their creative thinking hats and redesigned a book cover of their choice. After a long judging process, we chose winners.

The year concluded with Term 4. We can’t tell you yet what we spent our time planning, but make sure to take a look on our Years 3 – 6 End of Year website which will be launched next week!
