Dine and Dance/ Elections Prep

Term 4 Week 4

What an exciting end of the week! Today all the year 7 and 8 students got together to prepare our end of year 'Dine and Dance' (for the year 8s) and  'Head Boy and Girl Elections' (for the year 7s).

What we did today:

Year 7 Elections:
  • Watched a clip on the process of our school elections. 
  • Discussed why we have a head boy and girl at SPS.
  • Brainstormed what a good leader looks likes, acts like and what characteristics they possess. 
  • We also discussed what we wanted our future leaders to do for us and the school next year. 
  • We decided on whether we wanted to go for head girl or boy or be a supporter. 
  • We then made teams to start working on our campaigns. 

Year 8 Dine and Dance: 
  • Discussed what the end of year 'Dine and Dance' is all about and how it is a great way to end the year and celebrate being a year 8. 
  • We got into our committee teams- food, entertainment, decorations and organisation. 
  • We began to brainstorm ideas for the food, music, invites, hall layout, prizes and decorations. 
  • We discussed our budget and the overall theme of our Dine and Dance. 
  • We also discussed what jobs teachers will be doing such as security. 

We cant wait for next week when we can get back into the planning of these two major events!
