To celebrate the upcoming Paris Olympic Games, our Year 6 Be Active Leaders have organised an array of exciting tasks and challenges.

To officially launch the Olympics at Craigburn and show our support for the Australian Olympic Team competing in Paris, we will be turning ‘Green and Gold’ on Friday, 26th July.

On this day, students are encouraged to come to school dressed in ‘Green and Gold’ clothing and accessories (e.g. cap/hat, sports top, headbands, scarves, etc.) to demonstrate their support for our Australian athletes. Be creative and resourceful – as we don’t want families to feel the need to purchase extra items.

Alternatively, students may chose to come dressed in an outfit that shows off their favourite Olympic sport or athlete.

We will kick off with our very own Craigburn Olympics Opening Ceremony, featuring a whole school assembly. The Be Active Leaders will pass a Craigburn Olympic torch around the classes as we celebrate the start of the 2024 Olympic Games. Over the following two weeks, students will engage in various tasks and challenges, celebrating sporting achievements at the Olympics and here at Craigburn.

Mark your calendars and start planning your ‘Green and Gold’ or Olympic athlete outfits for Friday, 26th July. Let’s make this a memorable and spirited celebration!
