Focus Week
Aroona Focus Week In Week 3 of Term 2 Aroona once again ran their Focus Week theme of ‘Challenge for Change.’ This was the third year whereby Home Groups took on a task that was out of their comfort zone while donating small change. It was fantastic to see all the amazing challenges being completed throughout the week. Some of our favourites include: •
Making and delivering fairy bread to ALL 48 Home Groups (NA2S)
•
Creating acrostic poems for different staff members (AR1S)
•
Cooking breakfast (pancakes) for all the Home Groups in Lower Paideia (MO6M)
•
Creating a rap song about ‘Challenge for Change’ (MO3S)
•
Preparing afternoon tea for the Pastoral Care Team (Ms Bovingdon & Mr McDonald)
•
Collecting canned food to donate to an outreach centre (NA3M, NA4M & NA5M)

The “Home Group who challenged themselves the most” will be announced at assembly in Week 6, winning themselves a cooked breakfast. On Friday, students and staff enjoyed ‘letting their hair down’ with a Non-Uniform Day and mini-challenges in Cibo Plaza at lunch. Students and staff enjoyed hot chips, racing each other stacking cups and many tried their hat at the annual planking challenge. Congratulations Sachin Bonnici (Year 9) and Chloe Foster (Year 7) who broke last year’s plank record (previously 7:03) with scores of 12:02 and 11:00, respectively. Well done to Hamish Edwards (Year 9) for winning the handball
