Win At Interschool Chess Tournament

On Friday the 5th of April, a group of students from our Chess Club travelled to Whitefriars Primary School to play in an Interschool Chess Tournament. We usually head to Tyndale for these, however, due to the Year 6 camp in Week 11, we decided to enter another zone’s tournament. All the team members were on their best game, and Prescott came first!! We were very excited for 6 players to finish in the top 12 players of the day, with Andrea being the top girl finishing in third place out of all the players. Well done, also to Sophia and Kareem, and also Tyson (the youngest player) who on their first tournament, each won 4 out of 7 games. We are very proud of the team’s great effort and more importantly, their wonderful sportsmanship. Well done everyone.

Year 7 Camp

The Year 7's were very excited to fly out to Canberra on Sunday for their camp.  Definitely more exciting than a long bus trip!  Since arriving, their days have been packed with informative and fun destinations!  So far they have visited the following places: Parliament House, War Memorial, Questacon, Australian Institute of Sport, Canberra Exhibition Centre,  CSIRO Discovery and Telstra Tower.

Year 6 Camp

It was a very early start for the Year 6's on Monday morning, meeting at the school by 6:00am for the bus journey across the border into Victoria!  There were a few stops along the way, Bordertown and Horsham, before arriving at Adekate, where they are staying.  Halfway through their adventrue and they have been to the Melbourne Gaol, MCG, Sealife Aquarium, Eureka Skydeck, Eureka Museum and Ballarat Wildlife Park so far and more places planned before returning home on Friday.

Animals Anonymous Visit

The Foundation classes had an exciting visit today from Animal Anonymous. We were able to see and touch different Australian animals like a Tawny Frogmouth, Rufous Bettong, Freshwater Crocodile, Mertens’ Water Monitor and a Squirrel Glider that jumped from one person to another right in front of us. We had lots of fun and enjoyed learning so much about these Australian animals.
