A big thank you to the families and friends who attended our Olympic Opening Ceremony yesterday morning. The children thoroughly enjoyed dressing up and parading to the national anthem of their adopted country. The Clifton Springs Brass Band performance was a huge highlight and we appreciate those students sharing their talent with the wider school community. While our cauldron flame struggled to survive the Bellarine winds, the torch relay itself was entertaining as Prep and Year 6 students combined to bring the flame of peace to our celebration.
Once Mr Richards had declared the Olympic Celebrations open, students went back inside to participate in a range of art, craft, music, language and PE activities with an Olympic theme. Children rotated around classrooms and worked with a variety of teachers. Samples of some of the great work completed can be seen on display in the front foyer near the office.
In the afternoon our House Captains and Sports Academy students organised a Mini Olympics for the Prep – Year 2 students. These motivated leaders of our school organised events such as high jump, long jump, hockey, volleyball, sprints, relays, shot put, hammer throw and many more. Our younger students participated with enthusiasm and really enjoyed the opportunity to experience such a great range of sports. The idea for the Mini Olympics came from our Student Voice group, who play an important and inspiring role within our school.
The students will continue to embrace the rich cultural experience the Olympic Games has to offer over the next 16 days, continuing the great work begun in their Inquiry Learning. They will also be keeping a keen eye on the medal count for their adopted country, adding medals to the chart in the foyer!
