It has been a busy start to the school year at Willowmavin with the election of the leadership group and the annual welcome picnic happening.
School captains, Riley and Hannah have settled into the role quickly and have plans for a range of activities over the coming year.
“I see it important for us all to mix responsibility and fun as the way to grow over the year,” Hannah said.
“I agree and importantly we will be focussing on the school values of respect, resilience, be your best and be safe,” Riley added.
The captains of the four houses were also elected and are setting out on their first task of developing an inter-house competition where students collect tokens over a period with the house with the most tokens at the end of the competition being declared the winner.
“Members of that house can then choose their prize which may be a movie over lunchtime or some other fun thing,” Riley said.
Following the leader elections, the annual welcome picnic for the school community saw families came along for a barbeque, games on the oval and the presentation of the student leadership positions.
Parents and students joined in the fun with the highlight being a three-legged race. The afternoon also gave families the opportunity of getting to know each other and to meet with teachers and school staff.
“We had an amazing time, and it is great to see what a great community this school has developed,” Emma Hourdas, aunt of one of the students said.
