Welcome to Week 10 Monday memos

We are currently inquiring into advertising and the persuasive techniques used. Students

this week are presenting orals on techniques used in television commercials that they have

chosen. We look forward to hearing their analysis.

Speaking of persuasion... How can we get your camp consent forms back on time? Maybe

by asking a rhetorical question to get families thinking about it. 

Would your child like to remember their final year of primary school? Would they like to

remember all the names of the people who graduated in the same year? Would they like to

walk away with a wearable momento of the year? Well we have the answer for you...

introducing the Year 6 graduate polo shirts. 

If you order within the next 32 minutes, you will also receive the graduation steak knives for

free. That's right, for free! (Only while stocks last)

A letter explaining the Graduate Polo Shirt procedure will be coming later this week.
