College Service Week

Written by: Eileen

The week the Saint Kentigern College Prefects came to play at Preschool was an amazing experience for the Preschool children, and for the older students too, we have no doubt. The fun kicked off with a game of ’Catch the Chicken.’ The Prefects did a great job at pivoting at numerous turns to make sure that the children understood the task at hand, ensuring our youngest friends had a great time trying to catch the ever elusive chicken. Other physical activities followed requiring the children to use their developing gross motor skills in various ways.

The following day was devoted to music and movement, giving the Prefects the opportunity to share their talent and expertise with us. The children enjoyed participating in a music experience that involved playing instruments alongside their older peers, before engaging with a selection of action songs indoors. Our last session with the Prefects was a morning immersed in Science and Art. The children rotated through thumbprint painting, chalk drawing, volcanoes in the sandpit, and the making of lava lamps.

This was a wonderful week for the oldest and youngest Saint Kentigern students to connect with one another. The Prefects should be commended for their dedication and enthusiasm. They were wonderful ambassadors displaying the Saint Kentigern values of Respect, Excellence, Service, Integrity and Love. The ease at which they interacted with the children warmed everyone’s hearts and the impact they made on their young peers will not be forgotten.
