Easter Parade

This morning, the hall was alive with colour and excitement for our annual Easter Hat Parade, a cherished tradition for both students and the community. The students looked fantastic in their beautifully decorated Easter hats!

A huge thank you to all the families who supported their children in preparing for this event—the creativity on display was truly impressive.

Special thanks to Mrs Macca and the Prep to Year 2 teachers for their dedication in organizing such a joyful celebration. The students had a fantastic time showcasing their creative hats, singing Easter songs, and dancing to the ever-popular Chicken Dance. It was wonderful to see so many parents joining in the fun as well!

Enjoy some snapshots from today’s delightful parade below.

Easter Egg Treasure Hunt

Are you planning an Easter egg hunt for your kids this Easter? Add in a few clues to challenge their thinking skills and you’ve got yourself an Easter egg treasure hunt! Here’s how to do it.

An Easter egg treasure hunt is a great activity for the kids – they’ll love running around searching for their chocolate treats, and by giving them clues, you can challenge their thinking skills and encourage them to analyse pieces of text. If you have more than one

child playing, following the clues together can also help improve their ability to cooperate and work together as a team.

What to do:

Come up with a series of clues for different places around your house where you could hide some eggs. Here are some examples:

• Keep thinking now and use your head, why don’t you go and check in your…? (Bed)
• You are certainly not a fool, check where things are kept cool. (Fridge or freezer)
• Do you need to sit down and have a rest? Which place do you think is best? (Couch)

For some more clue ideas, try googling “Easter egg hunt clues” – you’ll find some complete sets of clues already written for you.

Next, place a small bundle of eggs in each location – make sure there is enough for one egg per child. Place the next clue with the bundle of eggs.

Then set your children loose! Give them the first clue and encourage them to work together to solve it. Your children will love the challenge of making sense of the clues by analysing the language and thinking about different locations around your house. If you don’t want to give your children chocolate, try hiding something else –stickers, small toys or marbles would work just as well!
