The themes we will be weaving through our Autumn Festival will be gratefulness and courage.

Our festival will begin at 10.40am in the hall after the children have had a slightly early morning tea break.

We invite all parents and school community members to join us in the hall to contribute to our Autumn Harvest Table, which will be distributed to a nominated group within the Denmark community.  Families can send along some of their garden produce or excess goods to contribute to a class basket in their child’s class.

Our Class 4 and 5 students will be presenting this years Autumn Festival story, ‘The Shadow Giant”, and all classes will be joining in to sing and celebrate the changing of the season.  Our songs and performances will conclude at approximately 11.50pm.

Classes 4, 5 and 6 will be invited to walk our Bridge of Courage across the Kwoorabup River.  Classes 1, 2 and 3 can watch the upper primary students and will then be encouraged to write a note of gratitude to add to the gratitude tree on the Class 1 and 2 verandah.

1pm – Picnic Lunch on verandahs or on lawn depending on the weather.

1.30 to 2.30pm – Courage Games

Children in Classes 1 to 6 will be divided into four Autumn Courage Games Groups.  Four stations will be organised by class parent groups to provide a fun afternoon for the children.  An assigned teacher will supervise children.  Please support your Class Carer to either assist in setting up and packing away or to assist and direct children participating.  Each group will be at each station for 15 minutes.  A bell will signal time to change.

Spear throwing – parents in Class 4-5

2.40pm after a quick tidy up everyone will join in a circle to sing and our festival will conclude.
