The Elphin Campus continues to explore learning in all ways, environments and communities. Students and staff continue to engage with the environment as a positive cultural influence, and this was seen in action at our Early Learning Education Outdoors learning days at Scotch Oakburn Park and the Wetlands Precinct. Within this environment, our students and families enjoyed the chance to explore questions in natural habitats and also learn from our expert Education Outdoors staff.
A major highlight this Term has been the continued dedication of our Student Executive members, who actively (weekly) engage with the Elphin Campus. Last week, the students ran activities in conjunction with their Pinks Stumps Week fundraising and this week it was highlighted with the Harmony Day celebrations, sharing lunch with our students and telling stories of ‘What does Harmony mean to me?’.
Out Harmony Day lunch saw all classes come together to celebrate Harmony and belonging. Everyone belongs. We celebrated belonging to community and the understanding that community within a school can be with your own class, year group, across year groups, house groups, campus based and the broader Scotch Oakburn community. We certainly felt a deep sense of belonging as students sat with their buddy from another year level, fostering our cross-year level connections.
Best wishes to our Year 4 and Year 5 students as they prepare for the upcoming Education Outdoors Program at the Valley Campus in the coming weeks, we look forward to their learning advenutres and the continued development of learner attributes!
