Primary Innovation-a-thon
Sophie Poisel | Innovation Leader K – 6
Emanuel School is dedicated to providing experiences that foster the development of skills and dispositions that will benefit our students now and in the future. We are excited to announce that this year’s -a-thon is focused on developing innovative thinking. This will take place in Week 10. Last week all parents received an email outlining the -a-thon details, a sponsorship form and links to suggested activities. All students have taken home an Innovator’s notebook to record their ideas.
- assist your child/ren in collecting sponsors for the event
- encourage your child to use their Innovator’s Notebook and suggested tasks: K-2 (https://tinyurl.com/K-2Innovators) and Years 3-6 (https://tinyurl.com/3-6Innovators) Please note these are optional to complete at home.
- return forms and funds raised to school by Friday 19 October (Term 4, Week 1).
As in previous years, one of the purposes of the Innovation-a-thon is to raise money for the School. Sponsors can pledge an amount per task achieved / disposition displayed or pledge a fixed lump sum amount. We ask that children only seek sponsorship for this event with the guidance of their parents and children should not approach strangers. Every dollar raised by the school will be matched by the JCA. Cheques can be made payable to Emanuel School. Funds raised will help the School to buy new equipment and resources for the Primary School. We are very keen to encourage Primary students to offer suggestions for how this money could be spent and will start collecting these ideas at morning prayer sessions and assemblies.
