Speech & Drama News This term has certainly flown by and a warm and snuggly break beckons us all! Classes beginning in week 1 next term and newsletters and accounts will be emailed to all families at this time. Term 4 is always full of excitement and the sound of homework practice (!!) as it heralds out appearances at the Gold Coast Eisteddfod in September. Please check that all fees are up to date. Some families seem to be unaware that accounts are now being emailed home to the address we have on file. If you have not received yours for this term please contact me immediately to allow classes to begin again in term 3. Enjoy the term break, Anita Eldridge aeldridge@bne.catholic.edu.au

Year 6’s & 7’s Life Education In Term 3, students in Year 6 and Year 7 are being offered Puberty and Relationships Education. The 'TALK ABOUT IT' program is run by LIFE EDUCATION and is designed to assist young people in developing a positive attitude towards their own sexuality and provides them with information on how to look after themselves during this stage of development. We are fortunate to have experienced educators from LIFE EDUCATION conducting these sessions that have been tailored to the needs of our school and students.

Interschool Sport Yr.5, 6 & 7 Well done to the Girls Touch Football Team who played well as a team and were undefeated in all of their games. The fast runners in the team really made a difference.
