St Patrick's Primary School Macksville Celebrates 100 Days of Kinder with Families
Over 40 families in the St Patrick's Primary School Macksville community gathered to celebrate 100 days of Kindergarten with joy and enthusiasm.
The event began with a prayerful liturgy, and then students and families participated in interactive activities focusing on key learning areas. At the faith learning station, families learned about Catholic signs and symbols, decorating crosses with 100 jewels for family prayer time. The literacy station involved writing storybooks about things they would love or hate to have 100 of, with puppies and bunnies being popular choices.



A numeracy station challenged parents and children to build the tallest tower with 100 cups, showcasing impressive engineering feats. The school counselor led families through 100 wellbeing activities, including expressing gratitude, high fives, and deep breaths. Lunch was provided, and the warm sunshine made it enjoyable in the school grounds.
Assistant Principal Monique Soutter expressed pride in the students and teachers' hard work and thanked the Lismore Catholic Schools Parent Assembly for supporting the special celebration. Grandparents Nicole and Michael said of the event, "The kindergarten children were bursting with pride and excitement as they entered the room wearing their 100 day celebration crowns. Their love and joy of learning was evident as they guided us through their learning spaces, engaging us in activities of storytelling, numeracy, wellbeing and faith; 100 day celebration in 100 minutes! We so much appreciated our inclusion in the celebration and thoroughly enjoyed sharing in the delicious lunch provided. Thank you to the dedicated staff who showcased student growth and love of learning."
