Final goodbye for Year 6 students

On Friday 2 December St Augustine’s Primary School in Mossman farewelled their Year 6 class of 2022.

A fun last week at Mossman State High School

It was a fun last school week for the Year 7, 8 and 9 students at Mossman State High School.

With a colour run, barbeque lunch, board games and a movie the kids had a blast.

Each faculty at the school was responsible for organising a day of activities.

On Tuesday students rotated between Lego, arts and crafts, trivia, Just Dance and karaoke, Kahoot and IT time.

On Wednesday the school’s Club 95 members and SWD students went to the pool for obstacle course fun.

Students remaining at school participated in art activities and sports in the ISC.

Thursday’s students rotated between multisport, Kahoot, Escape Room and juggling and board games.

On the final day of school students participated in a colour run to start the day.

Staff took great delight in plastering students with coloured dye and then taking to them with the hose.

Students were then treated to a sausage sizzle barbeque for lunch and spent the last two sessions playing trivia and board games and watching a movie.
