Last week of school - Last week in the Prep School

Wow! Can you believe that our class are nearly all in the High School?!?! It is such a busy time in our Year 6 classroom at the moment. This week is technically our last working week since we only have 1-3 Periods together as a class next week. Most of the week will be spent preparing for Speech Morning and on our excursion.

THE GREAT ESCAPE EXCURSION - Details
A note will be coming home tonight explaining the details of the excursion but I wanted to put it on here as well.

When - Wed 28th Nov
Departing school - 9:45am
Returning back to school - 2:45pm

Music tutors have already been notified.

What to wear: Sport uniform (boardies optional)

What to bring: bather/board shorts, rash vest or radiator, hat, water bottle, towel (these are NOT optional items!)

Lunch will be provided on the day and no child should be bringing money.

It should be a fantastic end of year celebration for all the Year 6 cohort.

Orientation day - Year 7

Hi everyone,
Mr Revitt has informed boys today that they are able to wear sports uniform tomorrow to orientation day. The boys will be meeting in the Sandover at 8:30am for the welcome. They will not need any lunch or recess as this will be provided on the day, however they may bring a drink bottle and a hat (no need for school bag).

The orientation day will run as follows:
8:30am Collect name tags and welcome to the Senior School (Sandover)

8:45am Introduction and allocation to House Groups (Sandover)

9:00am Tour of the Southern Campus and photos

10:15am Morning tea (Sandover)

10:45am Physical Education Centre - introduction and minor games

12:45pm Lunch (Sandover)

1:30pm House areas and meetings with Head of House

2:45pm Sandover Dining Hall to finish programme

Boys who are attending music lessons or other out of classroom programs on the day have been asked to pair up with someone from their house to find out any information they will miss.

Good luck boys, I'm sure you will all have some fantastic stories to tell me on Monday.

History projects presentations

All boys have been working hard at school and from what I have seen at home as well to complete their History Projects. All History Projects are due this Friday with no extensions possible due to marking and presentation to Mr Wright deadlines.

Each boy is required to present their final pieces of work along with all their planning documents. In their presentations boys must explain:
1. What your topic is and why you chose it.
2. What you enjoyed about your project.
3. What you found difficult when completing your project.
4. Show your 2 final pieces of work and explain what they are.
5. Tell us 4-5 interesting facts you learnt about your topic.
6. Summarise how well you think you worked and the effort you put into your final pieces.

Good luck boys in your final days! I can't wait to see all your work :)
