Pillowcase Project

The Pillowcase Project

Australian Red Cross visited our school this term to deliver the Pillowcase Project with our Year 3 to 6 students. The Pillowcase Project is a disaster resilience education program designed to help children:

• Understand and discuss the importance of being prepared
• Prepare their mind for the thoughts and feelings that may arise before, during and after an emergency
• Know what to pack in an emergency kit.

Students were given a pillowcase to decorate and take home, to start their own personal emergency kit. If your child participated in the program, I encourage you to talk with them about what they learnt and help them to build their kit.

The program itself is a reminder , to get prepared and include children in our emergency planning. When children know what to do in an emergency, they are more likely to cope, stay safe and provide meaningful help.

ANZAC Day

What ANZAC  Means To Me

To some people ANZAC is just a kind of biscuit or  a word you occasionally see in the dictionary, but to me it’s so much more than that. Anzacs are the people who fought for our country, and will always lie in our hearts. They lived in the trenches, in the mud, in the dark, and the sickness and pain of the gun shots they heard every day. To remember them on the 25th of April, we have a minute of silence to think about their bravery. Some people might even attend an Anzac day service. But no matter what has happened, what will happen or what is happening right now. We will remember the heroism of the soldiers that died for our freedom.
