The Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee

Over forty of our students chose to participate in the School Round of the Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee.  We even had some of our students in Prep, Grade One and Grade Two have a go at the Green Level (Grade 3 and 4).  We are proud of our students for putting themselves forwards for this academic challenge.  We find out in the next week or so if any of our students have managed to make it through to the Tasmanian final.  

National History Challenge

Well done to the students at John Paul II Catholic School who Participated in the National History Challenge.  The National History Challenge is a research-based competition for Australian students. It gives students a chance to be historians, researching world history, examining Australia’s past, investigating their community, or exploring their own roots. It emphasises and rewards quality research, the use of community resources and effective presentation.
