Week 8 Term2

Well, we are caught right up in the middle of the learning now that we are near the halfway mark.  With two weeks to the mid year bye, the students have a couple hefty assignments to knock over.

  1. The Stepahanie Alexander Kitchen Garden restaurant
  2. Spirituality Art Work 
  3. Experiment Designing and Implementing Task (in groups) 
You may wish to talk to your child about one or all of these to see how they are tracking. 

This week, after a two week hiatus, spelling is back. 

Cabaret Evening - the Senior Unit was well represented. Fantastic to see so many kiddies get up on stage and show their musical/dance talents. Well done students and well done parents for supporting the arts and your children.
