Week 6, Term 2 2018

What a wet long weekend we have just had, and it looks to be here to stay for the rest of the week at least.  I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the sun again!

Congratulations to our volleyball and basketball teams who competed at tournaments last week.

Senior HQ go to UC

On Tuesday and Wednesday this week, we are taking the HQ to experience science in one of their laboratories.  Students have been divided into three groups and will attend one of the three sessions, where they will move around four stations with tutors from the university.

Students in group 1, will walk straight there from technology tomorrow.  They will need to bring a pen and morning tea with them.  They will walk back to school afterwards.

The other two groups will walk on Wednesday at either 9am or 1045am.  They will also need to bring a pen.

All students must bring a jacket, warm sweatshirt and an umbrella if they have one.

Science and Technology Fair

Information has been emailed to all parents regarding this. Students need to be choosing their topic to investigate and sharing this with their teacher for approval.  This week we will learn how to write a hypothesis - students will need to have these written by next Monday.

Seussical Jr

We are trying to finish off our auditions and call backs, but the busyness of lunchtimes is making this difficult.  We will endeavour to have JoJo callbacks on Tuesday, Gertrude on Wednesday and the Sour Kangaroo on Thursday. Once we have completed these, we will be in a position to announce the lead roles and move onto the minor leads.  Our show kit is still on its way - the company in Australia who we have purchased it through was not sent any Seussical Jr kits when they put through their last order to America, so they have reordered and have said our kit will be about 2 weeks away - hopefully in time for the holidays, otherwise I may be doing some 'courier' driving to deliver books to our leads!

Extra! Spelling Quiz

Congratulations to our master spellers who will be competing at the annual Extra! Spelling Quiz at Cobham Intermediate on Thursday evening.

Larissa, Cameron M, Hugo, Tayla, Izzy, Rahil, James H, Bhavil, Isaac We and reserves, Arabella and Addi.
