Grade 5 & 6 girls wanted

The Junior CISSA Girls basketball team are looking for more players!! If you dont have an activity on Mondays and/or Wednesdays after school, then why not get active on the basketball court. It doesn’t matter if you have never played before. You will learn new skills, have lots of fun with your friends and will go to Shanghai to play in a tournament in May. You can speak to either of the coaches, Mr Jesse Douma or Ms Cassie Smith if you are unsure and would like to know more. You can sign up on veracross.

Microwaves in cafeteria

There are a few PYP students who would like to use the microwaves in the cafeteria. For safety reasons, they are not allowed to use them unsupervised. Duty teachers – would you please assist these students with microwave use? If this becomes unsustainable, please let me know.

Thanks.

Congratulations to joint winners of Friday’s PYP Basketball Shoot: Taiping and Xuanwu.

Following the previous Friday results, this means that Wutaishan, with three 3rd places in a row, have gone from a strong 1st place down to 3rd place in the race for the House Shield, with Xuanwu taking the second place slot for the first time this year. What a turnaround and what can Wutaishan do to get back on track? Maybe they will fare better at this Thursday’s Gr9 – 12 football competition and get themselves back in the race. Be there to find out!!
