Week 2 of Term 3 - notices and reminders

Hi team.......we hope you had a great weekend.  It was a little on the cold side!  Here are the notices and reminders for this week in the Senior HQ:

1) Learning conferences with your home room teacher are this Tuesday and Wednesday after school, along with these same two days next week too.  Your parents need to book a slot online.  Remember to arrive early to show your parents around the HQ and any work you would like to share prior to your slot with your teacher.  We look forward to seeing you for your conference!

2) The North West Winter Tournament is this Wednesday in at Hagley Park.  Remember to bring to school your sports uniform, sports gear, a big lunch and bottle of water for this event if you are involved.  We depart after morning tea.

3) Thursday is the student council mufti day to raise money for the purchase of new house flags.  Support this initiative by wearing your house colours on the day (how extreme can you be?) and bring along a gold coin please.

4) Winter sport as usual on Friday afternoon - bring all gear and sports clothes.

5) Mrs Moore will be doing her ski trip clothing lesson this week - this will remind you of the clothing you need to have ready for our Senior HQ ski trip on Wednesday the 17th of August.  Remember to hunt at home, borrow or purchase what you need so you can enjoy the day in the alpine environment by being warm and comfortable.  ALL SKI TRIP ABILITY FORMS SHOULD BE BACK THIS WEEK AT THE LATEST.  Ask a teacher if you need another or look in the 'notices' drawer by the photocopier as spares are in there!

6)  ICAS English test is on this Tuesday.

Have a great week everyone!
