At today’s assembly, Ms Gregory unveiled our 2024 time capsule — two beautiful Japanese daruma dolls made specially for Woodend!

These unique capsules travelled all the way from Gunma, Japan, to Woodend and will be proudly displayed at our school — one in the office and the other in the library — until 2044, when they will be opened.

They are filled with students’ predictions about the future and memories of 2024.

We also celebrated our SRC and acknowledged the commitment of this year’s elected class representatives to our school and community.

This year’s Student Leadership Team presented the environmental project they have been working on as part of the Youth Environmental Leaders Program through Green Adelaide. Be sure to keep an eye out for their beautiful nest sculpture and information about our local native birds!

As we thank this year’s team and bid farewell to our Year 6 leaders as they move on to high school, we are excited to welcome a new team of leaders for 2025. We look forward to working together in the year ahead to make Woodend even better!
