Students at Hampton Park’s Kilberry Valley Primary School have marked the unique date of 22/02/2022 by wearing tutus over their school uniform on Tuesday, or twos-day, as it was coined.
The students were encouraged to participate in number two-themed activities, such as writing stories with exactly 22 words, estimating 22 centimetre lengths, listing things that come in pairs and suggesting their favourite duos.
Assistant principal Chris Taylor said the idea was about putting a smile on the students’ faces.
“It’s a little bit of fun because school’s been pretty tough over the least two years,” Ms Taylor said.
“We’re just trying to bring some fun and enjoyment to a day which is pretty unique.”
“We’re from a very mixed cultural community and it brings us all together.”
She said “a good percentage” of the 500-student cohort, and many staff members, took up the offer, including both boys and girls and importantly, the school leaders.
