Week 10 has come to a close...

Hi there all,
Only one week to go till we can relax during the holidays.

This week we have been to Winter Tournament and had Constable Keri Brown come in and start the Life Skills programme.

We attended Winter Tournament in three sports. The hockey was played at the turf on Morgan's Road. From what I saw and heard everybody enjoyed the day out and playing sport. Soccer was at Sir Basil Arthur Park. There were two Gleniti teams so the main game of the day was between them. I'm not sure of the score but again they enjoyed a day out of the class playing sport. The final sport we played was netball at the court. Here we had three Gleniti teams and as I wandered around before lunch they seemed to be doing well. This tournament give the students an opportunity to play different sports and display their skills. It also gives others an opportunity to see who they might tap on the shoulder to play hockey next year.

Well done Mitchell for making it into the paper.

Great focus

Hmmmmmm cant think of a caption.

Time to shoot. Did it go in?

Eyes on the Ball

Has he just slotted a goal?

I will send a letter home about this blog and how to find it... um so if you are reading this you don't really to read it.

Keri Brown is taking five sessions of Life Skills (the old DARE). The first one asked and discussed "What is abuse?"  "Being safe" and what to do in times when you are not safe. The students were given examples and they had to discuss and give reasons. The next few sessions will cover Drugs- What are they and what are the legal consequences of taking them, Being assertative with friends and others and finally Cyber safety. I feel all of these topics are very relevant to the students now and especially in the future when they will find themselves in situations where they will have to make tough choices.

Next week I feel the class is due a break so I have given them Monday off. The rest of the week will be as normal with classwork, homework and TTEC on Friday.

I'm now off to the hall to take down the new gazebo (not sure of the spelling) that the PTA has purchased. It looks really good and I can't wait to see it out in public.

Just a thought... my class think they are quite sharp at touch. What about a game between the parents and the students one afternoon towards the end of Term 4. I could ref (so it would be even). Drop me a note if you are keen. I'll get back to you closer to the time.

That's all for now.

Cheers
