Congratulations to all the teams who are progressing through to the final rounds of their respective summer sporting competitions. We are sending you our luck. Who knows, we may even get a player interview with you on the sidelines!
In the Junior School, we will soon begin to prepare for our up-coming athletics carnival. We look forward to a day of competition, friendly rivalry and plenty of spirit on the last day of Term 1 at this highly anticipated sporting event.
We are also eager to have our writer in residence, Tim Harris, back in our classrooms over the next few weeks. We hope to be able to share some writing tips with you all soon!
