Lumen Christi Catholic College, Pambula Beach.

Kindergarten students at Lumen Christi Catholic College, have celebrated their first 100 days of school with a special day of festivities centered around the number 100.

Students proudly wore ‘100 days smarter’ crowns complete with individualised messages of encouragement from their teachers.

Throughout the day, children took part in exciting maths activities and wrote about the things that they have learned in their first 100 days at school. A highlight for many was the 100 cup stacking challenge and personalised cupcakes.

In their short time at Lumen Christi, the Kindy kids have taken bushfires, remote learning and COVID-19 in their stride. Kindergarten teachers, Natalie Radonovich and Amy Chester, have been impressed with not only the progress students have made, but the resilience they have shown this year.

At St John Vianney’s Primary School, Waramanga, students have marked their first 100 days of school in style with a day of fun and celebration, centred around the number 100.

The children came to school dressed as 100 year old’s while Kindergarten teacher, Mary Dietz-Mullamphy showed them what people wore 100 years ago. It was great to see many creative costumes and smiles on their faces.

The children spent the day completing different 100-themed activities. Deciding what they would do with $100 highlighted the children’s innocence. Together they created a class book filled with ideas about what would and wouldn’t be awesome, the theme of the book was of course 100.

“So much fun was had by the class, in what has been a very tumultuous year,” said Kindergarten teacher, Sharee Thomas. “This day will surely be remembered as a highlight.”
