Hire a Helper Day Year 6 hire-a-helper day Hire-a-helper day is an opportunity for year 6 students to give back to the other students in the school. They offer themselves at auction to be helpers for the day. They are asked to be positive and selfless in ensuring that their “hirers” are given a happy, enjoyable day. As stage 3 teachers, we approach this day as an opportunity to develop a sense of community and citizenship within our year 6 students. It is a practical example of our school motto Strive to Serve. As is to be expected, all activities undertaken on the day have to fit in with school rules and Year 6 students will say a polite “No” to any requests which make them feel uncomfortable or self-conscious. While some students in Year 6 will be a little nervous about the auction process, please be aware that we go to great lengths to ensure that students have a great day. Some students with particular needs or concerns are hired out before the bidding and some students may only be hired out to certain grades or only to teachers. Some students are being auctioned in pairs, others as individuals. Some students have chosen not to be hired at all which we are okay with. A stage 3 teacher is always available during the day to assist Year 6 students if they are having difficulties with their hirer. All students will receive bids on the day, either from students or teachers. No student will be left standing at auction without bids. In short, the welfare of students is considered both before, and during the day itself. These issues and more have been discussed with the Year 6 group, who are looking forward to the day. Your child, as an individual or part of a group, will be able to hire a Year 6 student for the day to help them in the classroom and playground with work, jobs, outdoor activities and other fun tasks. Students hire helpers at a morning auction, with teachers assisting younger students during the process. While it is always difficult to say in advance how much money will be needed to hire a helper (due to the auction process) a sensible amount of money for a child to bring to school would be $2-$10. Students can then combine their money with others for higher bids. Usually only group bids result in the successful hiring of a helper. All money raised will be used by Year 6 for their end of year gift to the school and to subsidise the Year 6 dinner.

Year 6 Fun Day Year six students are organising a Fun Day for all students, K-6. Students are asked to join a group and organise a fun and safe activity that their group will run on the day. Each group is responsible for the total organisation of its activity and running it for each of the year groups during the day. Activities on the day will include events such as Guessing Competitions, Face Painting, Sponge and Water Bomb Challenge, Spider drinks, Bike Rides, Soccer Shoot-out, Basketball, Raffles, Nerf Wars and Target Practice, Obstacle Course, Escape Room, Biscuit Decorating, Games room and more. Most activities will cost from 1 to 3 tokens. Students from K-5 will be able to buy tokens at 50 cents each to spend at the Fun Day. Tokens are used to avoid handling money during the activities. Tokens will be handed out to students on the Monday morning to avoid any being lost. The Fun Day activities will begin at 9:45am and run up until 2:30pm on a roster basis (normal recess and lunch will occur). Year 5, then Kindergarten will attend before recess, after recess Year 1 and 2, followed by Year 3 and 4 and finally, after lunch, Year 6. In the event of wet weather, the day will still go ahead. Funds raised will go towards the Year 6 Dinner, with remaining money used to purchase a gift to the school. This will be a Fun Day for all students and a valuable school community service from Year six students.
