Caring, Confident and Respectful Learners

To Parents, Carers and Community

Members,

The students and staff have been busily working

away at the end of year presentation. The evening

is shaping up to be an exciting affair, with a

variety of plays, skits and performances. Students

should be practicing lines from their scripts at

home.

The High School students harvested lettuce and

silver beet and sent home

large bundles last week. The

Farm is really starting to go

ahead with all students

actively involved in

maintaining their plots.

Thanks to Mark Huntly for his work over at the

farm installing some new poly pipe and taps.

More progress has been made in the library with

new computer shelving/desk area going in during

the past week. It looks more user friendly. Four

new computers have been installed.

A new computer desk has been installed in the

staff room as well.

Greg Edwards,

OPINIONS FROM THE YEAR 9 ENGLISH CLASS

MY OPINION ON MY FAVOURITE SPORT.

90% of the world’s population plays sports. Some people say that they don’t like to play due

to the fact that they’re not talented or being unfit .Sports is like a bridge to unite countries

together to compete. It’s also a way people can make new friends from other countries and

to also learn their tactics. There are more than 100 sports in the world my top 3 are basket-

ball, volleyball and soccer.

First and foremost I would like to say that basketball is the best sport in the world. Basketball

is not about dribbling the ball everywhere it’s also about practise, the more you practice the

better you will become. Basketball also consists of maths and hand -eye coordination; if you

angle yourself in the right position and if you flick your hand at the right moment you will get

the ball in the basket. In basketball terms you’ll get a swish. Basketball is also about strategy a

basketball coach will set a play for players to play without a play players will be scattered.

Sport is Great!

WHY GAMING IS MY FAVOURITE SPORT

My favourite sport is gaming because it helps with developing all your skills such as strategies. You can make money while having fun and enjoying yourself. The first pc was created in 1975 by Ed Roberts who sold them for $750 which is pretty good compared to prices today. It had little games with bad graphics. Today you can play on many different consoles like pc, Xbox, ps4, phone, iPad and Nintendo. Gaming also gives you an opportunity to meet, play and talk to new people when playing online. You can play on teams with friends, on your own or against people from different countries. While gaming you learn how to problem solve, use hand and eye coordination skills, creativity and imagination. This all happens while you have fun with your friends. A console called the wii will help with your fitness while you’re enjoying yourself. You can play sports or build skills.

Professional gamers earn a lot of money playing video games. I want to be a gamer.

Christmas, and deep in his burrow, Wombat is busy getting ready for
