Roller Skating Champion – Rebecka Schenker (8K)

We are proud to celebrate the amazing achievements of Becky and share in her joy of being a good steward of the gifts and talents that she has been blessed with. Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who  created all the lights in the heavens. James 1:17

Becky’s roller skating  days started when she was  just 5 years old and  attended the “Star Classes"

Becky’s first National Competition  was in Adelaide in 2010 at age 7!

During the school holidays in July 2016, Becky REPRESENTED VICTORIA IN THE NATIONALS held in Melbourne  and qualified to compete in 4 different events.

In one of them, she competed in Free Dance, where she was placed 1st AT STATE LEVEL and placed 10th out of 18 skaters in the country.

In the Free Skating  which involves jumps and spins and artistic interpretation, she was placed 2nd AT STATE LEVEL. She also won a BRONZE MEDAL in a very strong event of 16 skaters around the country.

WHAT IS NEXT FOR OUR CHAMPION?  

Becky will be leaving on 2nd September to participate in the OCEANIA ARTISTIC CHAMPIONSHIPS in New Zealand.  Let us keep Becky in our prayers.

WELL DONE & CONGRATULATIONS, BECKY!!!

Duolingo Championship

We have no less than three students who have recently gained their French Golden Owls on Duolingo! They are Freesia Goh, Rachel Woon and Hesed She.

To achieve a Golden Owl, students need to have all the French skill levels, from top to bottom, on gold simultaneously. The way to do this, is to play on a daily basis, keeping skill levels on gold behind you as best you can. For more information, talk to one of our Golden Owl champions, who are pictured showing off their respective Golden Owls.

Chess Success!

On Friday July 22 our Junior Chess Girls’ team competed in an inter-school competition.  The students attending were Shalese Teo, Kelly Ta, Roselyn Kho, Irena Tan and Laura Hooi.  It was a very tight competition with the final result not being known till the end of the last round.  The girls did a wonderful job coming first at the end of the seven rounds. 

Particular congratulations to Shalese who went through undefeated and was the top performing girl on the day.  Others also had a personal best for the number of wins.  The girls have now qualified for the State Finals!  Well done girls!
