Year 6 White Mr Tony Maxfield Year 6 White What an amazing year – and to share it with such a quality group of boys who are well on the way to becoming young Men for Others. I will let the boys tell you about our year: Mr Tony Maxfield Year 6 White My favourite things we did in Year 6 White were prospecting for gold on the Kalgoorlie camp, doing the team building games with Mr Thompson at the Leadership retreat and hatching our fluffy class chicks and caring for them. Thanks for a great year, Mr Max. Kuba Jayamaha My favourite activity by far was hatching our class chickens. It was awesome seeing them break out of their shells, taking their first breaths and standing for the first time. It was very touching. Kalgoorlie camp was also excellent, not only the gold but the amazing history of this unique setting. Our Asia Travel Expo was a great learning experience. It was like we really had jobs selling holidays to people. Thanks for everything, Sir. Finn Gismondi

I really liked reading the Parvana novels. Parvana and Parvana’s Journey were very interesting. I did not know anything about how hard life was in Afghanistan for so many people. I also liked all of our class because they were all so friendly. Damon Winterburn The best thing about Year 6 was meeting new friends. I had not been in a class with many of the boys. The Kalgoorlie camp was a great week, we all learnt so much about gold and mining. This year I improved in all my subject areas. Mr Max, thanks for being a great teacher and helping me through Year 6. Jeremy Clarke The things I enjoyed the most were the Kalgoorlie camp, challenging myself in spelling and I loved the true story, Shackleton’s Forgotten Men. I improved my maths so much this year. Mr Max, I loved the way you taught me in such a fun way, especially maths and reading. Zayne Gardiner I liked reading our literature text, Shackleton’s Forgotten Men. It is amazing what Antarctic explorers faced every day to stay alive. I also really enjoyed Christian service at the Second Avenue Aged Care Facility. The residents and staff were very nice people. This year I have improved my reading and writing. Poetry was a lot of fun too. Thank you for being my teacher, Mr Max. You helped me to understand things. Thomas Smith I really enjoyed our class discussions this year and getting ready for Year 7. I loved looking after our class chicks, our Parvana and Shackleton novels. Mr Max has prepared us well for next year. Carlos Tan 113
