Week 5, Term 3 2019

Wow! Unbelievable to think we are at the half way point for the term! It has been a busy term with a lot of people being hit by nasty colds and flu. It is a timely reminder for us all, teachers included, to make sure we are looking after ourselves and resting when needed.

Here are a couple of things to be aware of:

Camp
The notice with the permission slip went out last week. Please return these as soon as possible as we need to finalize numbers with the activity providers in Hanmer. We also would like to be able to notify those parents who will be going to camp so that they can sort leave if needed. The activities we are planning on doing:

  • Mountain biking
  • Tree climbing
  • Orienteering
  • Thermal pools (3 times!)
  • Walks
  • Bush hut building
  • A 'giving back' activity


Weekly Sport
Today is the last day of weekly sport. This is a great opportunity to thank those who have helped with taking a team. This has been a great help; we wouldn't have been able to do it without you.


Cantamath
On Wednesday 28 August, we are planning on visiting the Horncastle Arena to see our Cantamath displays. This will be a cost of $3.00 that will be added to accounts.

We would also like to wish our Year 7 and Year 8 teams the best of luck for the evening competition on Wednesday. We know you'll do us proud!


Farewell Miss J
Our student teacher, Emily Johnstone, finishes her placement today. On behalf of the entire Year 7 and 8 team, we would like to thank her for her efforts and contributions to the tam. She has really added a new dimension to the team and will be sorely missed.


Have a great weekend and enjoy the sun!

Ski Trip 2019 Movie!


As you know, we had a great time on our annual Senior HQ ski trip to Mount Hutt on July the 25th.  The weather conditions were amazing with blue sky, no wind and lots of sun.  The snow was beautiful and powdery.   Special thanks to the parents who came along and provided great hands on help for all of our students.  Without you we wouldn't be able to go on our annual trip.  Check out our movie (special thanks to Rahil for compiling this in such a talented way):
