Resource Centre Lessons
The Resource Centre is once again full of life. It is wonderful to have our Years 7 and 8 HUMS classes back in for their regular Resource Centre lessons. This week these classes have been exploring a new data base located on The Resource Centre Portal page which is an online gateway where students can access reliable and safe resources with ease. Book Talks are a key component of these lessons. The purpose of Book Talks is to motivate students to read, discover new titles and showcase different genres.Students are encouraged to participate in the Premier's Reading Challenge and get House points for reading.
Lunch Time Activities
The colours of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags were used as students coloured hand images and placed them around the word 'Sorry', as one of our lunch time activities during Reconciliation Week. The beautiful work can be seen in the images below.
On Wireless Wednesdays we have been running special POP UP events It was musical chairs last week and everyone had a ball. There was lots of laughter, as students connected with each other and the crowd encouraged maximum participation. Let’s see what wacky, fun activity we have planned for this week?
Resource Centre Volunteers
We are very blessed to have wonderful, committed Student Volunteers who are dedicated to their role. Last week these students qualified to receive a Badge to acknowledge their service. Mrs Neate awarded every student with a Certificate of Appreciation from Dana Wortley MP, Member for Torrens. Students were treated with individual serves of cheesecake, before borrowing some new books.
‘Having the opportunity to become a Resource Centre volunteer was a big deal to me. I always helped in the library at my primary school and I just love helping at Kildare to create some new friends and bond with peers. I thank and highly appreciate Mrs Haythorpe and the College community for awarding me with a delicious cheesecake and with a wonderful badge. The certificate was so honourable and I do thank the College very much.’ Chantelle Year 7
‘The cheesecake was amazing, mouth-watering, and was great because it was the best cheesecake I have ever eaten. When I received the certificate it was a surprise and unexpected. When I showed my mum she was super proud of me. When I wear the badge it means a lot because then I can help out Mrs Haythorpe in the Resource Centre, make new friends and learn new skills and I will never forget any of it.’ Fleur Year 8
