On Sunday 8th of March, Holy Spirit School had a Wakkakiri Working Bee. Our theme for this year is Mary Mackillop: Australia’s First Saint.
We had some parents volunteer to help out as well as our two dance teachers Miss De Vries and Mrs. Hansel. Some mums used the overhead projector to trace the stain glass window on to a large piece of calico. Then they started to trace the letters on reading ‘Mary Mackillop: Australia’s first saint’. After the tracing was done some mum’s volunteered to paint the letters. The stain glass window still in progress.
When this was done the other mum started to trace the outback back drop on a very large piece of calico. This is going to be used in the mining scene.
Later on, other parents hammed down some coke tins, from last years Wakkakiri, to make the drip. They also tracked down a pole and then they spray painted the whole drip in a silver spray paint.
We also managed to find an old cane rocking chair that is going to be used as the wheelchair.
Overall it was a great success and we say thank you to all the parents that helped out. A big Thank You to Mrs. Hansel and Miss De Vries for organizing the whole of Wakkakiri.
We will keep you updated shortly about the rest of the Wakkakiri props still in progress.
