Newsletter 12th June 2013 - Drouin West Primary School

Cross Country Results
The 17 students who boarded the bus from Drouin West late last month should be very proud of their efforts at the
Cross Country competition. The challenging 2km and 3km course is no easy feat for primary school children. I
would like to personally thank all members for their dedication and persistence when training in their own
lunchtimes. Congratulations to everyone who gave it a go! Hopefully we have even more children enter next year!
CASSE STUDENT DAY
On Friday May 24 th the CASSE team went to the annual CASSE student day at St. Gabriels. We
travelled by train and bus. When we arrived there were six other CASSE teams from other
schools. We had morning tea then a circus team did a performance. After that we split up into
groups and went to our first activity.
The activities were:
Circus skills, ‘In somebody else’s shoes’ (role plays etc.) and an art activity (making a slogan and
designing it on a scrabble board). Each of the activities included team work.
For lunch we had pizza. Afterwards we had playtime and we all got icy poles.
At the end of the day all the schools had a show and tell presentation and then we went home on
the bus and train. We had an awesome day.
