Boys' Program

This year in Boys' Group we are going to be learning a range of skills that are going to be useful when we get older. We will be setting personal goals at the start of each term that we wish to achieve by the end of that term. Boys' Group students will be learning to build seats for around the school and use the correct tools so that they are safe. The boys will also be learning to fish, cook and paint. This is going to be an exciting year for all the young men that are going to be participating.

"In Boys' Group we are making wooden seats for the playground. Mr Scott got some wood blocks and we sanded them and screwed the seat on top of one leg. We carried it to the basketball court and then we screwed the other leg on with a drill. We carried it to under the mulberry tree and dug two holes and put the legs in. We made sure the seat was level and then we poured quick drying cement in the holes and stirred it. We let it dry and now it can be used. It is great to have some where to sit in the playground. Mr Scott made sure that we used the right safety gear as we had to wear safety glasses, masks and gloves. We are going to make two or three more."

Fishing

Boys' Group enjoyed an afternoon of fishing and Y. was the only person to catch a fish. He even took it home and his Nan helped him clean it so he could share it with his family for dinner.
