SRC and sports captain initiatives

The SRC students and sports captains have instigated 2 great initiatives at school:

Bring Your Wheels to School Day

each Thursday the students are invited to bring their bikes, scooters, roller blades etc (including all safety equipment) to ride at lunchtime. The students create a course for the riders. It is wonderful to see so many participants each week.

Sport time lunch games

Anzac Day

On Anzac Day, 25 April, most of Mulwala Public School met at the Mulwala Bakery for the Anzac march. We started the Anzac march at the Mulwala Bakery and finished the march at the cenotaph near the Mulwala Water Ski Club. We got back into our schools and listened to the National Anthem. Then there were some speeches. We saw some soldiers from the police force. They were pretty cool. After the speeches we had a minute of silence and bagpipes were played. Then Brodie and I then had to lay the Mulwala Public School wreath, took a step back and stay there for three seconds. There were other kids and adults from other schools laying wreaths as well. After all the wreaths were laid the bagpipes were played again. After the service we had a photo and we all went back home.
