Deputy Report
Legacy Committee Workshop
Last week, year 6 students engaged in the Legacy Workshop, where they learnt about the 4 legacy areas, and explored the concepts of team work. Students committed to shared values, actions and outcomes as they embark on leaving their legacy on YSS in their final year of primary school.
Legacy committees will operate in each classroom this year, in the hope that more time can be dedicated to their goals and more actions can be achieved.
6W – Wellbeing
6HN – Curiosity and Creativity
6M – Sustainability
6D – Outdoor Learning and Play
In the coming weeks, committees will narrow down on their sharp focus of improvement for this year. Stay turned to hear about their goals!
Student Council GRIP Leadership conference
The Student Council attended the GRIP conference on Wednesday, where they had the opportunity to collaborate with other Brisbane Primary Schools about student leadership. Student leaders explored the concepts of stepping up and stepping forward to drive school improvement.
We’re excited to build on the learnings from the conference in a goal setting workshop on Monday.
Outdoor Learning and Nature Play
Our students love to play and explore in our expansive school grounds. We would love to enhance these areas further with mud kitchens. If you have a mud kitchen at home that you no longer require and are able to deliver it to the school grounds please contact the office.
