School Captains Report

This week we had our first opportunity to attend the SchoolCouncil Meeting. We met the councillors and had to present ourSchool Leadership Model and ask for council’s endorsement. Itwas quite daunting as the parents asked lots of questions whichhad us thinking on our feet. Thankfully it went well and ourchanges were endorsed. Last Friday we attended our first Winter Sport Day and it wasgreat. The weather was freezing but everyone played well andwe had lots of comments about our sportsmanship. We havealready started practising for Summer Sports. We hope theweather is better when we play them. Have a great week.
