In the last week of Term 2 the school gathered to meet Mr Jim Miles from the Highett RSL. Two of our SRC representatives Cameron McKell  and Veronika Cary received the $500 donation on behalf of the school. We are very fortunate to have a community partnership with the Highett  RSL. Every year they generously donate money to the school. This year the money will go towards an initiative that the SRC have been working towards. 

Student voice is a way of empowering our students. At the beginning of the year the SRC reps spoke with their classes and asked what activities the students would like to see happening during the break times each week. The students nominated to have the learning hub open to enable students to play chess, build with Lego and to have some time to draw. They also requested the return of the reading combi van to be filled with books for students to sit and read. The final request was to have more creative play opportunities. 

The SRC have planned to make four portable play centres in some wheelbarrows we had kindly donated last year by one of our families. They have sourced ideas and have spoken to their classes about the themes of each play centre. We will be creating a fairy land, a construction site, an animal kingdom and a dinosaur valley. We are very excited to get started with construction when we return to school.
