A special ‘Sorry Day’ was held during Reconciliation Week which involved a display of purple flowers at the front garden entrance, created by all students.

Toddle on Hoddle children created a collaged Aboriginal flag for the West Warrnambool Community House to display during the week.

Also during Reconciliation Week, Tracy Roach (Archie Roach’s niece) and her daughter Maria read ‘Took the Children Away’ to the whole school and explained the meaning of Sorry Day.

Last Wednesday, May 28 a special ‘music mayhem’ day was organised by foundation/one teacher Renae Blake and F-6 specialist Ryan Fitzgibbon.

Students were encouraged to dress-up as their favourite music artists for the day and spent time in mixed ages rotating through six musical activities.

This included disco and limbo, painting and child drawing, singing, meditation, games such as musical chairs and bobs and statues, and creating musical instruments with recycled materials.

Students enjoyed the school’s eisteddfod on Monday and Thursday and today, Friday, is national donut day.
