All the children who ran for the position of head boy and head girl did an amazing job: reading with confidence; engaging their audience by making eye contact and ensuring that their voice could be heard. Well done.
That being said it made it extremely difficult for the whole school to decide on 2 people!!
Mrs Mannix felt that as there were tied votes for head girl this year there will be two head girls and 3 deputies.
The results are (as voted by the school):
Head Boy: Alexander Deputy: Kurt
Head Girl: Mia and Lily T Deputy: Lilly Ch Grace and Hallie
Not only have year 6 been exceptional role models in school they have also taken their values into Church today for their class mass on The Kingdom of God. They were exploring and questioning as part of our RE topic- What is a kingdom? How do I contribute to this kingdom? How do my actions grow the kingdom?
The children all brought an object that was important to them to demonstrate the Kingdom of God is not and object but a place we all contribute too, it is not and object but it is within us all and when we welcome this kingdom then :
The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them.
Isaiah 11:6
