Week 9

This week is Week NINE. This week we have the rest of our final formal assemblies. Monday is Sports, Wednesday is Cultural and Friday’s assembly is the biggest and longest - Merit / Awards assembly.

It is really important that you let your parents know that you are getting an award at these assemblies so that they can come and support you !! 

Please remember on the days we have our formal assemblies that you sip water for all of block one, your morning tea has carbohydrates and protein in it and that you go to the toilet during morning tea. It is REALLY important that you do NOT have any extra singlets, shorts or tops on underneath your blue uniform.

On Tuesday we have our Kauri Team end of year celebration – a swim at the school pool followed by a Sausage Sizzle and whole team shared lunch. Please make sure you have your togs and bring a plate with some food on it to share.

Year 8’s have been given their invitations to the graduation social, which is next Monday night. You will need to purchase your ticket from the student foyer before school on Tuesday or Wednesday this week OR go and see Mrs J in the Foods room during a sportsbreak. All other information is in the notice. PLEASE make sure you read it carefully.

I hope that you are focused on achieving the goals you have set for the second half of the year and know exactly what you need to do to meet your goals. Remember to make the most of the opportunities given to you.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Vaughan, Grace, Josh and McKenzie who have already contributed and also to Vaughan who was the first person in the school to return money for the raffle tickets he had sold!!! Fantastic effort Vaughan I am very proud of you!! A small item of baking goods is needed from each person in the class to help make someone’s Christmas a bit better! Keep selling the raffle tickets for $1 each. The last day for money and tickets to be returned is 6^th December.

A reminder that we will be swimming on Tuesdays so you will need to have your togs organised. If you are unable to swim then I need a letter from home giving the reason for not swimming and how long you won’t be swimming for.

Week 4

This week is Week FOUR. This week we have Tabloids at school and Athletics at Porritt Stadium on Thursday. Please remember to bring your PE uniforms. On Thursday evening Sage, Jewel and Josh will be participating in the final of the Spelling Bee – good luck to all of you J

Thank you to everyone who sent baked goods in on Friday to support our Service Learning Project. We managed to raise just over $180 which will be split between the Breast and Bowel Cancer Foundations. An absolutely fantastic effort everyone. You all did a great job wrapping and selling our baked goodies.

I am a bit disappointed with the amount of homework that is being handed in on Fridays. Last week just under half the class handed in homework. I am hoping that this week’s effort is much better.

I hope that you are focused on achieving the goals you have set for the second half of the year and know exactly what you need to do to meet your goals. Remember to make the most of the opportunities given to you.
