SING OUT
Last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, twenty Emmanuel students from Years 4, 5 and 6 participated in the Sing Out Festival, held at Victoria Park State School. These students rehearsed as part of a 100-strong massed choir, made up on primary children from various school in the Mackay District. The students were led by renowned conductor and composer, Mr Paul Jarman. On Friday afternoon, students performed for parents, teacher and community members, a program of four pieces that they had learned over the three days. We congratulate the students on their behaviour, positivity and participation and thank Mrs Miller for her leadership with Sing Out!

DANCE FEVER INTERSCHOOL CHALLENGE YEARS 3-6
Tuesday night, our Dance Fever Challenge Team of 50 students represented Emmanuel at this event. It was such a proud experience being able to witness the enthusiasm, dance skills, positivity and teamwork consistently displayed by our students. A lot of our students made it into the grand finals for the partner dances, with several being awarded place ribbons. As a team, Emmanuel won a trophy for best dance technique. The night ended with students inviting their families to the dance floor for an end of event dance. What a fabulous celebration of dance for Emmanuel to participate in. Well done everyone!

MISSION FAIR
The Mission Fair was held last Wednesday, and we are excited to report that it was an AMAZING success! The students enjoyed visiting the stalls, playing the games and filling their bags with goodies. We raised more than $7000. That is equivalent to providing 20 cows or 177 goats or 177 pigs or 7088 chickens to families in other parts of the world who are not as fortunate as we are.
Congratulation to our Piggy Bank Challenge champions. At the end of the Mission Fair, Year 2JR had the most money in their piggy bank and 3HB had the most coins in theirs. Both classes enjoyed their prize on Friday.
The ‘Fun and Games’ raffle was drawn yesterday and thirty-three lucky winners took home prizes. Vincent in 1J was really excited when he found out that the bear’s name was Ted Junior and would be going home with him.
The ‘Trash and Treasure’ stall was very popular again this year and everyone who visited had fun seeking out a bargain. A big thank you to all who donated goodies to this stall. Lots of children found treasures to take home.
Special thanks to our Year Three students who spent many hours making friendship bands for their stall. It was an amazing effort and a fabulous ‘service learning’ activity. We can’t wait to see what they will come up with next.
Our Mini Vinnies group ran the freerice.org stall at this year’s fair. This online challenge that rewards correct answers with free rice is an initiative of the United Nations World Food Programme. Students who visited the stall collected 14 200 grains of rice – that is more than two cups of rice. It is great to think that we can have fun, practise our skills/increase our knowledge and help to feed the hungry in our world at the same time. You might like to visit this website in the holidays. There are various categories and levels of difficulty. It is worth the effort, for you and for others.
A big THANK YOU to our creative, hardworking staff who organised and managed the stalls, painted fingernails, baked goodies, provided prizes and supervised the activities. Our Year Six students are also thanked for their efforts and enthusiasm. They manned stalls, sold tickets, badges and balloons, helped staff with set up and clean up and supported younger students to navigate the fair. We are so proud of them. A number of students and student groups also set up and ran stalls at this year’s fair. A big thank you to Sophie for her fidget toys, Ruby for her slime and the Year Five students who organised the ‘What’s in the Box’ and the Ring/Basket Toss games. You are amazing!
Together we are contributing to family life and making a difference in the lives of others. Well done and thank you everyone.
