On Monday 7th April, seven of our Year 6 students attended the inaugural Diocesean Big Walk for Water💧to raise awareness and funds to support communities in developing countries that do not have access to clean water. 💦 They experienced what it was like to have to walk for several kilometers carrying a bucket of water and as they did this they reflected on the experiences of children their age, who walk for kilometres every day to collect water for their whole family.🚿🪣💧 The Year 6 students that remained at school also participated in a shorter Water Walk around the school grounds. They used the opportunity as a prayer experience to reflect on the hardships of others and to appreciate how blessed they are. Thank you to all of our sponsors who have helped us raise $115 so far! 💵💵💵 If you would like to show your support and Unite Against Poverty,💪🏼 it’s not too late! Please use the link to make your donation to Caritas and help our Year 6 students reach their goal of raising $300 for Project Compassion - Walk for Water https://fundraise.projectcompassion.org.au/s-johns-primary-school-riverstone

What an exciting day Stage 2 have had today in the city! 🌆 Lots of tired legs after walking around the city and exploring old buildings from the early days of European Settlement. They got to sketch the Harbour Bridge, dress up like European settlers and convicts and learn about the different perspectives of with British Colonisation. 🤩 We are sure they will sleep well tonight! 😴
