A warm welcome to staff, students, new students and families. I hope you enjoyed your break.
What a fabulous Sports Day we had in week 1. Being my first, I was very proud of our students’
efforts in not only trying their best but the way they encouraged and supported their team and class
mates. I would like to thank our staff, in particular Mike Shortt, Florin Velea, Jess Mallen and our
committee for organising a great event. Once again, our fundraising committee did a great job in
catering for the masses and raising much needed funds for the school. Lastly, I’d like to thank all the
parents, caregivers, friends and family that attended to support and encourage each and every child
to have ago. It really was a wonderful community event.
I’m looking forward to our Children’s Week assembly and parade this Friday. It’s an important
reminder of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child; highlighting play, wellbeing
and the protection for every child in the world. It’s also a great opportunity to celebrate the cultural
diversity that exists within our community. I hope to
see you there.
You may have noticed some of the new asphalt
games that were completed during the holiday
break. They’ve proven to be a big hit with the
students and it’s wonderful to see so many students
engaged in the various activities during break times.
Have a great term and I look forward to
seeing you at one of our many events.
Kind regards
John Iannunzio
Principal

MAGILL SPORTS DAY NEWS
Written by
Torin, Natasia, Ashley and Emmanuel
On the 19th of October, the annual Magill School Sport’s Day took place, where the
four house teams, Ferguson, Murray, Tolmer and Penfold, battled against each
other using skill, tactic and talent to try and win the shield. The day was a variety of
team building exercises and activities, and both individual and team events. We
started off the morning with a whole school assembly, hosted by the Year 7 house
captains. The assembly included the four house cheers, the warm up dance (Waka
Waka), and some warm words of encouragement from our school Principal,
Mr Iannunzio.
After the conclusion of the assembly the classes split off to compete in their class
events, followed by a recess break to eat and rehydrate. After twenty minutes
students moved on to the buddy events, where the lower primary and upper
primary worked together and used teamwork to try and win a range of different fun
events and games. Once the buddy events were over, students had a twenty minute
lunch break. The fundraising committee held an awesome sausage sizzle to provide
lunch for all the hungry students.
Following lunch, it was time for the afternoon events, where the tension was rising
for the final stretch of the day. The 3-7 students of each house competed in a wide
variety of events, including 3 in a sack, relays, bob spry, and cart and carry. The re-
sults were mixed, and the excitement grew as the day drew close to an end. The R-2
students came to join their teams for final and most anticipated event of the day,
the R-7 relay.
After all the events were finished and all the results were in, Mr Iannunzio
presented the winning team. In first place was Murray, followed closely by
Ferguson, Penfold, and Tolmer. At the end of the day, everyone had a good time
and overall, a great experience.
