Term 3 Week 10
YEAR 7 ANCIENT HISTORY
Our very talented Year 7 artisans have been busy working on trading their ancient wares as part of their ancient history inquiry unit. This week all pots and plates have been completed and are now ready for display in Tirkandi library. Each unique piece showcases beautiful golds, blues and reds and highlights the students' attention to detail. They should all be very proud of their efforts in creating their own take on ancient history!

THE LETTER BOX PROJECT
Connected AU is running The Letterbox Project which is a program designed to connect lonely or isolated people with letters during this COVID-19 period, mainly those in aged care or disability homes. Next term Fisher students who registered their interest in participating in the project will have an opportunity to write a letter to someone in Australia. Stay tuned for some more info about how our students go being involved in this wonderful initiative!
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR UPDATE
It is with great disappointment to announce that the Scholastic Book Fair will not be going ahead this year due to COVID-19 regulations.
