Jacob and Joseph after presenting their Voice of Youth speech at St Andrew's Primary School.
Over the last few weeks and during the holidays, Stage Three students have been busy writing their speeches for the Voice of Youth contest.
The cluster final were held Thursday, 30th of July at St Andrews, Marayong. Prior to the final cluster contest teachers and students had the pleasure of listening to the speeches that the Year Six students had prepared.
The calibre was very high, which made it hard for the teachers and Mrs Schroder to decide on the final two contestants. The two finalists for VOY were Joseph Awadalla, with this speech ‘Can’t join them, confuse them,’ which left is all puzzled and Jacob Domars, with his speech ‘A Boy,’ that made his audience really think. The reserve was Tamzin Naidoo who wrote her speech about embarrassing moments. All three students presented their speeches at Monday morning in front of the school during assembly.
On Thursday 30th July, teachers and students attended the Voice of Youth cluster final at Marayong where OLA representatives Jacob Domars and Joseph Awadalla presented excellent speeches. The quality of speeches was high and the school were proud of both speakers. Jacob was awarded the ‘Social Justice Award’ for his speech titled ‘A boy’. This was a moving speech comparing his life to that of a boy going to war 100 years ago. Congratulations Joseph and Jacob!

Year 6 have been learning about the difference between figurative and abstract art. They created some amazing artworks, showing both real-life images and creative, imaginative designs. Other grades loved visiting the exhibition and were so impressed by the creativity on display. Well done, Year 6!

A big well done to our students who have been elected by their peers to join the Student Representative Council (SRC) this semester. Each of these students was chosen for a variety of reasons—whether it be their kindness, positive attitude, responsibility, willingness to help others, or the way they lead by example. Each semester, more students are added to the SRC to recognise the wide range of achievements and contributions our students make to our school community. We can’t wait to see the great ideas and leadership you bring this semester!

Yesterday we celebrated a very special group of students at our traditional 'Student of the Term' Assembly (Principal's award), followed by a lovely morning tea with Mr Calabria and Mr Cauchi. Each of these students were chosen by their teachers for their consistent effort, kindness, and positive attitude throughout the term. They are quiet achievers, hard workers, and wonderful role models for their peers. It was a joy to acknowledge and celebrate their dedication — we are so proud of them!
