Moving toward a more sustainable Lindisfarne Primary School

This term the SRC’s main goal was to think about how we were going to reduce the amount of plastic being used in our school. We had a meeting and we talked about what we could see now happening in our schools and what we wanted to see happening.

We also found out that we have ordered some recycling bins which will be delivered and ready to go term two (more information about this later).

Our next steps will be to encourage less plastic in our lunchboxes so we might look at starting a waste free day soon.

ANZAC Day

We hold the ANZAC services so we can pay respect to the families that lost loved ones and for people who lost their lives. We hold these events to show our freedom and our responsibilities as one to rise up in the morning. I believe it is the least we can do. The Anzac Day march commences at 7 o’clock on Thursday April 25^th and events continue throughout the day. The march starts outside the Lindisfarne village post office and ends at the Anzac Park. The actual service itself will start at 7:30am. Traditionally a choir from selected schools will combine as one and sing at the war memorial. People pay respect by laying wreaths and veterans and other people say some words of honour. The Lindisfarne SRC executive will lay the wreath in honour of all those that lost their lives during the wars. Afterwards a sausage sizzle and breakfast will be held at 8:30am near the boat club. You’re welcome to attend to the march with the SRC who will be walking with, or you can meet us there.

Southern Tasmanian Student Leaders’ Conference 2019

Today we travelled to Huonville Primary School to participate in a conference which was about empowering the school executive to better improve our school.

We listened to a keynote speaker who told us about being an officer on a sailing boat and how to lead a crew of people in tough conditions. We participated in activities that focuses on how leaders make decisions, what is tough about being a leader and what values drive leaders to work as hard as they do.

We learnt how to communicate more effectively, what frustrations leaders can feel. We’ve learnt how other school’s ways of leadership and what we can bring to our school. We know now that there’s lots of different people that contribute to help a leader be the best leader they can be and that there are lots of different types of leaders.

When we return to the main SRC group we will use what we have learnt today to demonstrate good leadership and act responsibly.
