Year 5 Co-ed Orientation Afternoon Tea

It was wonderful to have some of the Year 7 2027 cohort on campus this week as part of the Long Orientation Programme. Students participated in two workshops – one music and one drama – to learn about the breadth of our programmes at Cranbrook. In the Music workshop run by Mrs Stewart and Mr Beverley, they learnt the importance of working together to clap, stomp, sing as a group. Students were able to work together, help each other and gain valuable life lessons – like “if you’re standing in a circle, and there is someone in front or behind you, then you are the problem.”

In the Drama workshop run by Ms Van Aalen and Ms Sheridan, students worked together in drama games, learning how to communicate with each other to create scenes as ice creams and forests. From small group activities to larger groups, students practised vulnerability, throwing out ideas and working with other peoples’ imaginations.

These workshops were assisted by some Year 10 and 11 Leaders who helped our younger students. Thank you to Ned, Tate, Henry, Finnigan, Archie, Oscar and Weston.
