AIMING high because the sky is the limit was the message received by Gowrie Street Primary School students last Friday, as pilot Chris Hengsen landed his helicopter in their grounds to inspire kids about the future of possibilities, they can all aspire to.

Twice a year, Gowrie Street Primary School run a ‘Dream Big Day’ which gives their students opportunities and experiences to widen their scope to the endless possibilities their futures may hold.

Gowrie Street principal Eron Chapman mentioned the importance of inspiration in the primary school years of childhood education and how providing their students with a ‘Dream Big Day’ really gets conversations started and encourages students to think big and aim high.

“This year was so much fun. Not only did we have the helicopter land in our grounds the pilot took the time to talk to the students about how you can never stop learning new things, which the kids took a lot from,” said Mrs Chapman.

We also had mini restaurants set up throughout the school, students making instruments and preforming and a visit from Shepparton’s Search and Rescue and a police officer. All the students had a wonderful day.”
