THE CHAOS FACTOR
At our school at the end of term 3 we have a wonderful pre holiday send off in the form of an ANNUAL PET DAY. The day has evolved over time with some consistant features, a dog event, a grand parade, a hat parade and sometimes a cake and floral arrangement display. Some years we hire an animal farm, a bird show, or a reptile show. This year had a horse feature, the children brought them in with parent assistance, and we hired horses and buggy for rides.
As our school grows organisation of events requires a very concentrated focus..making sure all the bases are covered: to do with occupational health and saftey, timetabling so no one misses out, clarity about who is doing what where, infrastructure being in place and affirmation for all the children. We have a wonderful way of pulling everything together.
Though sometimes one would wonder how everything always comes together so smoothly, by all the apparent glits and glitches, occasional miscommunications and misconceptions.
As a team we know each member has a deep and abiding commitment to the wellbeing and success of the school which applies to all our events, no matter how big or small.
