Term 4 Sports Registration

We would like to thank everybody who showed support during our successful winter sports season. It was good to see so many of our students enjoying themselves and being involved.

Summer sports will be starting up in Term 4. Registrations are now open, and the forms need to be completed and returned to the Sports Coordinator by the 21st September (Registration Form is attached). We are looking forward to entering as many teams as possible, but we can only do this if there are enough helpers. Please consider helping, it truly is rewarding and appreciated.

Library News

In the library we are always looking for ways to encourage students to enjoy reading. Recently, the PTA has funded the purchase of some beautiful leaner tables and chairs for our window alcoves. These have provided new restful spaces for the students to work and read in. Thank you PTA!

We have also just completed our Reading Bingo Challenge. Four students completed all 25 categories on the sheet and many more students took part. The competition gave rise to many conversations about stories, characters and the pleasure of reading, sometimes with girls who had done little reading previously. This was a real joy!

Thank you to the very generous donor of the book vouchers – it really gave a big boost to the competition. Thank you too, to the teachers who supported this

initiative. And congratulations to the winners!
