STRATHAIRD Primary School celebrated all things Australian for Education Week last week.
Students at the Narre Warren South school were encouraged to come to school dressed in green and gold and were divided up into multi-age groups, in which they engaged in a range of Australian activities.
These activities included practising their football skills, making jigsaw maps of Australia, dot painting, making a koala, whipping up delicious lamingtons and reading ‘Possum Magic’ by renowned Australian author Mem Fox.
Parents were encouraged to come along and visit the classrooms after recess and then stay for a sausage sizzle lunch.
Both students and parents showed great support and participation on this memorable day.
