Today is the last day for G9 and 10 students to make their selection for next year’s G10 and 11 Discover China week trips. The survey will close at 9.00am. All G9 and 10 students should do this survey.
Inter house badminton
Don’t forget tomorrow the inter house badminton competitions will start. G9-12 will be held on Wednesday 3rd Feb at lunch time in the gym and G6-8 will be held on Thursday 4th Feb at lunch time in the Gym. Please contact your house captains or leaders if you would like to participate.
Nerf Gun – team building
Work alongside people you don’t normally work with: cover their back and protect them under fire. Bring a nerf gun for Friday’s afternoon inset if you are interested. Several people may have extra nerf guns. If you are considering buying one, be aware that taobao may not be delivering that quickly over Chinese New Year. Both real and fake Nerf guns work well, especially for a one off battle. They can be purchased at Toys R Us and I have previously seen them at Golden Eagle. Hope to be working with you on Friday. Note: the nerf shotgun fires well but has a tendency to have bad jams so I would not purchase that particular gun.
Lost Jacket
On Friday 29th January, a blue Decathlon jacket was left in the blue gym girls locker room after CISSA Badminton practice. If anyone picked it up my mistake, could you please return it, no questions asked, to the PE office.
Thanks!
