| There are many special events in the Fig Tree Pocket educational
calendar that complement the curriculum. Some examples from last year are:
Student Council Events
The Year 7 Student Council is a very active group that initiates school fundraisers and encourages the school community to support worthy causes. Shave for a Cure, last year was an initiative to raise money for leukaemia research. The fundraiser was a huge success with $3600 raised by the school community. The shave day was very entertaining and a great deal of fun for everyone.
A fundraiser for Youngcare was another initiative last year which resulted in the school community raising money to buy a new fridge for accommodation for young people with disabilities.
Medieval
Day
Our Year six students had an amazing day when
they re-enacted a day from Medieval times. There were jesters,
a feast, knights and lots of amazing costumes. Parents helped out to cook a sumptuous feast.
Grandparent's Day
In term 1, year one students hosted a Grandparents Day. A great deal of work went into planning food and performances. Grandparents were shown student work, taken on a school tour and treated to an afternoon tea and concert.
Excursions and Camps
Excursions are an integral part of the curriculum
offered at Fig Tree Pocket while for year 5-7 students, camps offer a significant experience in the school year.
Students in all year levels
have the opportunity to go on many exciting excursions that
complement the unit of study they are working on. Examples include visits to Pullenvale Education Centre and Caboolture Historial Villiage.
The following camps are planned for this year:
Term 2 - Year 6 to Maroon Outdoor Education Centre
Term 2 - Year 5 to Emu Gully
Term 3 - Year 7 to Canberra
