Week 11 - the final week of Term 1!

Hi everyone!

A few quick reminders for this week:

1) Good luck for the league tournament if you are involved in that on Tuesday.
2)  Technology on Tuesday as usual - they are still in need of any old, rinsed plastic containers and bottles if you can send them along to school please.
3)  If you have sports trials this week remember your sports gear.
4) Homework needs to be finishing off your non-fiction reading task ready for Thursday AND your inquiry presentations of your culture/country ASAP.  These were due Friday last week.
5)  On Thursday we have our cultural shared lunch.  You each need to bring a plate of food from your country to share with others for this event.  You can either bring it in the morning to one of the break out spaces or you can arrange for it to be dropped at the hall on Thursday BY 12.20pm ready for the set up.  You will be able to join us if you contribute something to share from your country.
6) On Thursday we also have our open afternoon to share all our amazing inquiry presentations about the different countries we align with.  Remember to invite family and friends to come along to the HQ to view the displays and presentations.  You are to wear something from your country eg traditional dress, costumes, country or flag colours, rugby jersey's etc from lunch time on for our cultural day too!

Have a great week everyone!

Huxster Mountain Bike Relay Event....

On Friday last week 30 students from our Senior HQ competed in the Huxster Mountain Bike Relay annual event held at McLean's Island. We were joined by 26 Year 5 & 6 students too.  The event involved teams of two students completing a 4.2km loop, tagging their partner who would then go out and do the loop and so on for a period of THREE hours.  Following all the rain, it really was the case of "mud, sweat and tears"!  Thanks to the group of amazing parents who supported us and helped make the trip possible.  You were all awesome.  Here is the movie of photos from the day:
