Highlight

Selamat siang,

 

What a fantastic term we’re having—so many wonderful things have already taken place, and this week has been no exception. On Wednesday, students had their school photos taken, and later in the week, we celebrated the amazing women in our lives with a special Mother’s Day stall, along with students competing in District Cross Country. We are looking forward to hearing how everyone went on the day.

 

This week also marked the official start of Literature Circles. Each week, students will read a section of their chosen novel and meet in groups to discuss the text through their assigned Literature Circle roles. If students find themselves needing extra time, they’re encouraged to work on their tasks between 8:50 and 9:00am to help avoid taking work home.

 

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead,

 

From the Leadership Centre
