The junior students have been working hard on their 'Myself, My Culture' projects this term. They had to use their information, English, cooperation and design skills to complete the work. The oral presentations were last week. Well done everyone on excellent display boards and awesome speaking. The boards are being displayed in the library until the end of term. Congratulations on a top job students!

Join Hands for Japan

Last Sunday a few of the International students participated in 'Join Hands for Japan' The event was to raise money for the Save the Children fund on the first anniversary of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami. We all joined hands along the walkway and had two minutes silence to remember those who have suffered and lost lives.

Well done for being there students and helping those still suffering in Japan.

Swimming Sports 2012

On 24th of February 2012, We had swimming sports at school and every body wore the house colours. I had fun and was so excited about swimming sports. The weather it was not so good because it was always raining and after that sunshine. I'm interested when every house colours came out and danced. At the swimming sports I saw all swimmers swimming very fast. I didn't swim because the swimming pool was so cold and that day it was very cold! Everyone cheered very loud and danced all day. I'm so happy and had so much fun!

Anne's camp

Hi, my name is Anne and I am from Norway. 2 weeks ago I was at the year 9 camp and it was a lot of fun. The bus to the camp took 1 hour. When we arrived we ate morning tea and after the morning tea we had lots of activities. The activity was archery and it was my favorite. We also had across the rope and fill up the bucket. We went to our tents to unpack and make the tents ready for the night. We had a BBQ for dinner and it tasted good. After dinner we had a competition between the tutor groups. It was a triathon and we came second place. When it was dark we went into the forest, where the year 13s were to scare us, and it was scary because we could not see anything.

The next day we ate breakfast and than we unpacked our tents and had activities. We had to clean the camp because we were the last ones there and that was very boring. Than we took the tents down and played a game on a hill. After that we went to school and then home. It was a very good camp and I would love to do it again.
