Primary Assembly

Thank you to all the parents and friends for attending the Primary Assembly last week. Congratulations to all the students on your fantastic achievements so far.

Year 8

Student shave been working on different forms of poetry and literary devices which are often used by authors when writing. The challenge was then to write their own Footy Theme Song. As much as they love the Paddyroos, Pathaway and Borders they felt that they should have their own or different song.  

Here are some samples: 

Kingston Lucindale Rangers   

We are the K/L Rangers  

To winning, we ain’t no strangers  

We come from Kingston and Lucindale   

We are the mighty and not stale  

Hitting in the ball into the goals  

Tackling to get the ball   

When we are losing   

We are always supporting   

By Jacqueline 

Hear the Lions Roar 

The Padthaway Lions roar  

Ever quarter we score   

We are the Padthaway lions  

You play us and you will get ironed. 

We work as a team,   

You’ll whine and you’ll scream,  

Were the Padthaway Lions   

You know you will get ironed.   

Were the blue and yellow   

Padthaway L-i-o-n-s   

Blue and yellow   

Padthaway L-i-o-n-s  

We shoot and shoot,   

You think were so cute,   

But we vicious lions   

No, our colour isn’t cyan.   

Its yellow and blue. 

By Lacey 

Lucindale netball    

We are the Lucindale Roos,  

Our colours mighty and blue,  

We are coming for the flag,  

As mighty and bad,  

Just like the yakka,  

We ain’t no slacka,  

For we are the mighty colours, of white and blue!  

The Lucindale Roos, always shooting through.  

We are the Lucindale Roos, mighty and blue,  

Always staying true, and always

Year 11/12 Outdoor Ed Camp

Endeavoring to complete 34km in a loop trail around Halls Gap, students set off carrying a full pack with everything they would need. The first challenge was the Pinnacle walk from the base of the mountain. Many steep sections and stairs tested each student and unfortunately the view from the Pinnacle was spoiled by low cloud. Continuing on past Devils Gap and towards Rosea Carpark. 

Day 2 saw the continuation up and over Mt Rosea, with the weather cleared up showing breathtaking views across the Grampians on both sides of the mountain. Scrabbling over rocks, through rock bridges and caves allowed students to see a more remote part of the Grampians. This was followed by a challenging decent down the mountain to Borough Huts Campground. Students were now feeling the strain, and some even cooled off in the Fyans Creek. 

Day 3 continued the loop around Lake Bellfield, starting with a level track for the first third. Then the track hit the Mt William Ranges and began having short steep accents and descents across the ridges and valleys. Students were rewarded with close up views of Lake Bellfield and across to the Pinnacle and Mt Rosea ranges they had so recently traversed. Despite sore muscles, and shortening patience students powered forward to return to the caravan park enjoy an ice cream and hot showers. 

This was the last camp for this Group of Yr 11s and the Yr 12s will repeat this area again for the self reliant in Term 3. 

Pushup Challenge

It has been fantastic seeing the enthusiasm of so many students. Today I was accosted by a keen group of Year 8s wanting to tell me of their achievements. So proud of them. On Tuesday, the Year 9s demonstrated a range of alternative exercises (all fair and acceptable) and their focus on completing was inspiring. 

Each day we look at a different mental health statistic and the discussion has opened many minds. All were surprised that Lifeline, which runs 24/7, receives an average of 130 calls per hour. How lucky we are as a community to know that such help is available. 

The pictures today show some style coming from the Seniors.

Parents and Friends Club – Woodcut
The Parents and Friends Club held a very successful wood cut on Sunday 28th May at Mark and Clare Bruce’s property at Avenue Range. Despite a few showers early in the morning it turned into an ideal day for wood cutting with over 10 tonne of wood cut in a couple of hours. The wood was then delivered to We Us an Co for storage and weighing but it didn’t stay there long with all of the wood sold by the end ofthe following week. Proceeds from the wood cut will be ear-marked for the “Front of School” project in an effort to enhance the space left by the removal of buildings in 2022.

A dedicated team of parents are working with the school to plan the development of this area and the much-needed funds will go towards creating a user friendly outdoor space for the school community. The wood cut was a great way for families to catch up socially, enjoy the outdoors and volunteer their time towards a worthwhile project. The Parents and Friends Club would like to thank We, Us an Co for their assistance in weighing and storing the wood as well as the Bruce family for allowing wood to be removed from their property.

The sausage sizzle and campfire were a great way to end a productive afternoon with over $3,000 raised for the project. If anyone would like to join the parents and friends club, please contact Clare Bruce. Meetings are held once a term and all are welcome.
