Over halfway though the term and the push is now on to learn all we can before the mid year holidays. Here are the bits you need to know... Spelling  List 15 for both spelling groups Graduation Tops  In the next few days a letter will be going out detailing the cost and process to take if students want graduation tops this year. Like previous years, the aim is to have existing sports uniform t-shirts printed on over a holiday period. Due to Covid19 we are a term behind in this but would still like to offer it to students. Stay tuned for the letter Mr S taking some time out Mr Semmler is going on long service leave for the final two weeks of this term and the first week of Term 3.

After some wonderful cold days, didn't today greet us with some wonderful sunshine. Here are a few key points for the Senior Unit this week. Spelling: List 14 this week from the appropriate set of lists. Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden: We are off and running again but our focus has changed a little.  Also, we are seeking some support by asking for volunteers to wash the aprons after each week. They are getting well used and need a regular clean to remain hygienic week to week. If you are able to help, we would love to hear from you. It would be great to be able to put a roster together for the final five weeks of cooking. There will be around 36 aprons each week. Homework Reminder: We don't expect a lot but we encourage all students to complete their spelling for the week, get at least 1000 Mathletics points and reading . It has been noticeable that engagement has fallen away. It can make a big difference to students if they are willing to put in the effort.  Whole School
