Year 7 Expo Night

Our Year 7 Students did a fantastic job last Thurday night presenting their Open Learning Projects to their families. From plastic containers and bottles parents assumed were rubbish, our Year 7's managed to create some pretty unique cities and present some entertaining ideas for the future! Well done, Year 7's!

Foundations Adventure to Morialta

Last Friday, the Foundation students went to Morialta Conservation Park in connection with safe play learning in Health.

My favourite thing at the park was the big swing, we were swinging so high! -  Japjot

I liked the giant slide! - Luke

Interschool Chess Tournament

Last Friday, selected students from the chess team travelled to a different zone to play chess at Whitefriars Primary School. It was a tough and very close competition, with very experienced teams. The top two placing teams were made up entirely of Year 7’s! This was great practise for the team, who will be participating in the STATE finals next term.

I would like to congratulate all players on their excellent sportsmanship and team effort. Although we did not place, the players did Prescott proud. Tyson, the youngest player in the whole competition at Year 1, won 4 games! Monique had an excellent day, scoring the top position for girl players and Savannah had a special mention from one of the teachers as displaying the best sportsmanship behaviour throughout the day. She won a special award. Well done to all players for giving your best.

SAPSASA Athletics State Championships

Four of our amazing athletes represented Adelaide North East District in the SAPSASA Athletics State Championships. We are so very proud of them for their amazing efforts and for their sportsmanship in cheering one another on in each event. Here are some thoughts from our athletes:

Monique: I competed in the 100m Sprints for the 13y/o girls. I came 11th overall and enjoyed cheering on our school team.

Jonah: I competed in the 11y/o boys High Jump and Shot Put. I jumped 125cm in the High Jump and achieved a personal best in Shot Put.

Ashton: I competed in the 10y/o boys Long Jump and 200m Sprints. I came 8th in the Long Jump and 6th in the Sprints. My highlight was cheering everyone on!

Seth: I competed in the 10y/o boys Long Jump and came 9th overall. I loved being able to compete with Ashton!

Foundation Swimming

Our Foundation classes are enjoying swimming this week at State Swim Clovercrest. Each afternoon we spend an hour learning to swim safely. We are having lots of fun learning to float, kick and even dive under the water to retrieve items off the bottom of the pool!
