Welcome to week 7! Last week the SRC held their 3rd annual Market Day. With 53 stalls, it was a wonderful lunch market that offered a large array of homemade, bought and pre-loved items. All the students who took part can be congratulated on their fabulous effort. Well done!

Student Representative Council recap of Market Day 2023

Last Friday, our school was a bustling hub of excitement during the vibrant Market Day event. The air was filled with joy and anticipation as students showcased an impressive array of diverse products. From delightful slimes to mystery party bags, and from stunning earrings to intricate jewellery pieces, our school transformed into a marketplace of creativity and innovation. The sight was spectacular – over 50 tables decorated with colourful displays were spread across the school grounds. The enthusiasm of our students was on full display as they ran their stalls, eager to show their creations and products. 

The Student Representative Council (SRC) took charge of hosting this delightful event, hosting and planning every detail to make sure it was a success. Their dedication and hard work were clear in the organisation of the event. Our goal was to raise funds for our school's betterment, and they achieved this with a lot of enthusiasm.

To make the event accessible to all students, the prices were set between 50 cents and $10, making sure that everyone could participate and enjoy the products. The affordability of the products encouraged a lively crowd and added to the event.

The Market Day was held during the lunch break, in the handball courts and the undercover area. The result of this fantastic effort was not only a joyful and entertaining day but also a significant achievement in fundraising. We are thrilled to announce that we raised over $250! 

It's heart-warming to note that some students chose to generously donate their earnings to Hope Village, an act of kindness that showcases their empathy towards others. 

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated parents and supportive faculty. Market Day was a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and generosity.

The Year 5/6 boys, led by their captain Lucca M, had an awesome SACSA carnival. After winning 2 pool games in our pool round and drawing the other 3 games, we knew the finals were going to be close. In the semi-final we played off against Kings and won 3-2. This win set us up for a final against Torrens Valley Christian School who we drew 1-1 in the pool rounds.

The Grand final was a fierce contest with both teams’ defensive pressure being strong. Through grit and determination and some nice quick movements and diving, the Bethany boys found a way to score twice, giving the boys a well-deserved 2-1 victory to become the 2023 SACSA champions.

What a beautiful day for Touch Football! The girls played outstanding all day, working as a team, especially on defence. Playing in the semi-finals, the girls took Kings all the way to a 3v3 drop off, where injuries and exhaustion eventually caught up with them.

To the girls’ credit, they regrouped after the disappointment and played off for 3rd where they finished with a 1-1 draw and happily agreed to share third place. Well done girls!
