Writer’s Festival - Monday 21st October

It is coming to that special time of the year - the Writer’s Festival!

The Writer’s Festival will be on Monday 21st October 2019.

There will be no Assembly on this day to support the Writer’s Festival.

Each classroom will be hosting in their classroom and will notify you of the time your child’s classroom will be open.

This is a fabulous opportunity for students to share their writing in various stages of the writing process.

Please see your classroom teacher for more information.

Tournaments of the Minds

On Saturday the 24th of August, 2019, seven students were invited to attend La Trobe University to participate in Tournament of the Minds. We were involved in a performance that reflected the Arts. We spent 6 weeks preparing for this performance before the actual event, with many thanks to Mel, Jenny and Ben for mentoring our performance and giving up his time to allow us to practise. A big thankyou to Mandy as well for organising the event.

Even though the experience was challenging with many setbacks, we learnt how to overcome these hurdles well and overall are happy with the outcome. Many of the skills we learnt were managing our time, focussing on tasks, teamwork and cooperation. These are all skills that we can take into the future. We would recommend being involved in T.O.M if you have a passion for being challenged and taking on new possibilities.
