CONGRATULATIONS

Last night, Bailey L. (4S) had the honour of presenting an award with Australia's Alicia Molik at the 2017 Newcombe Medal Awards. He earned this opportunity after demonstrating his vast tennis knowledge during an earlier interview. This interview was also shown during the night on the large screen, where Bailey stated that 'arguably Rod Laver is the best tennis player'. As well as presenting the award, Bailey had an unscripted chat with Rove McManus telling Rove that his favourite tennis player is Roger Federer, whilst apologizing to the Aussie players who were present. The event was held at the Crown Palladium. Bailey did an amazing job and was acknowledged by tennis stars like Alicia Molik, Sam Groth, Daria Gavrilova, and even John Newcombe.

Well done Bailey!

CANTEEN NEWS

The canteen committee have decided to trial bring your own reusuable 8oz cups (size of the school glue sticks).

This has been recommended by Lily, Murphy and Natasha from 3Z, as part of their action from their last unit of inquiry.

This will be better for the environment because you cannot recycle the current cups, and you will not be losing any amount of slushy.

Please make sure your cup is clean.

You will still be able to purchase a slushie without a cup, but please try to bring your own.

100th ANNIVERSARY MEMORABILIA STILL AVAILABLE

It's not too late to purchase 100th anniversary memorabilia! 

You can purchase items directly from the office.

The special edition 100th anniversary book is also available for $15.

It includes many interesting articles about the history of the school and is a great memento!
