JUNIOR SCHOOL THE STRAND MOONEE PONDS ACTIVITIES PROGRAM

YEARS 7 / 8

Reference: Clairvaux 1982

Today’s students would be interested in many of the following activities.

During Terms 2 and 3 we have been involved in the Activities Program conducted with the help of mothers and fathers of the students and the facilities of Footscray and Essendon Technical School.

The program has provided us with experience with arts and crafts which are not included in the usual school curriculum.

Essendon Technical School has offered us experience in Woodwork, Motor Mechanics, and Handcrafts. The mothers and fathers have helped in basketry and cane weaving, clay modelling, cooking, sewing, macrame, guitar, first aid, typing, woodburning, and the sports of tennis and table tennis.

Our thanks to Br. Hetherington who has been the organiser behind the program. Our gratitude goes to all those who have given up their Thursday afternoons to persist.
