Our 2022 Prefect Body began working on ways to increase School Spirit as part of their legacy and our inaugural Spirit Week last year was a great success. For 2023, we have decided on:
- Monday – Comfort Day
o Come to school dressed in your comfiest clothes! Slippers, tracksuit or maybe a onesie!
o Please bring a gold coin donation to go towards our chosen charity…
o Our theme for the day is raising awareness about mental health. - Tuesday – Captains Call
o Combine your Sports Uniform with House colours: wear your House Shirt and bring as many House themed accessories to wear to the Captains Call. [Sports Uniform (only) to be worn to and from school] - Wednesday – First Letter Fashion Fiesta
o Come dressed as something that starts with the same first letter as your name. E.g. Adam = Astronaut - Thursday – Anything but a Genesis Backpack Day
o Wearing your Sports Uniform, bring the necessities for school without using a Genesis backpack. What will you use: suitcase, satchel, haversack, holdall… - Friday ‐ Favourite Character Day
o Come dressed as your favourite book or movie character. This coincides with Book Week which supports the Children’s Book Council of Australia’s 2023 Book Week theme to ‘Read, Grow, Inspire’.
