Curiosity - Student Thoughts

Curiosity Week

Curiosity Week was a huge success as students from both the Junior and Senior SRC came up with fun and exciting activities that engaged students to participate in. There was also

a day when the students were able to come to school with anything but a bag. Lawnmowers, shopping carts and rubbish bins, anything that was safe and appropriate, were allowed to be used as a bag by students. This allowed the students to not only show their curiosity and creativity, it also allowed students to get together and have a laugh at the crazy ideas that came to life! Curiosity Week was a week where students could show off their creativity and curiosity, as well as make new friends, making memories and sharing a laugh with others!

Anything But A Bag!

As part of our activities for Curiosity Week, the school participated in the challenge of bringing anything but a bag to school. This allowed the students to use their creativity, as well as making them curious as to what to bring. Many students participated in the challenge, including both the Juniors and Seniors, as they showed their inventiveness and amazed us with what they’ve been able to come up with. Numerous people had many eye-catching ‘bags’ that they brought to school, giving us a surprise. A generous amount went outside the box, bringing in Lawn Mowers, Shoe Boxes, Prams, Microwaves and even a KFC Bucket! The day was filled with amounts of laughter and joy, being able to witness the clever ways of replacing a bag with an alternative.

Curiosity Week

From the 21st of March to the 25th of March 2022, St Andrews College, both Senior and Junior campuses, celebrated Curiosity Week, in order to help enhance our character strength of curiosity. An activity was posted each day for us to complete. The list included: Researching the meaning of our name, Learning Group fun debates, Wordle sites, Riddle and word search and to finish off the week a Personality test and ‘Anything But a Bag Day’. Items that were brought on the day ranged from lawnmowers to eskies, prams to baskets and pillows to animal cages, anything but our school bag (and anything safe) was welcome, allowing students to drive their curiosity and creativity of what else could be a bag. But most importantly, it gave students a chance to be able to bond and get together to laugh, discuss and talk about the crazy ideas that have been brought to life.
