Hello X-Blockers.
Three important notices this week.
- Please remember to complete your X-Block report for your mentor today. You can find the link to the template here.
- Grade 7 – you have X-Share in the Centre Tuesday next week. Please spend some time this week completing your electronic student portfolio and collecting examples of your products to share with parents.
- Please choose your location carefully for your upcoming or continuing projects. Take note – due to high demand in the gym and for Chinese projects, some mentors have changed location. Now is a good time to assess your options and see whether you are continuing to grow as a learner.

Giving Tree !!!!
True story:
Once on a trip to visit Pfrang students, I asked, “what was the best present you got in your Giving Tree bag?”
He replied, “the Toothpaste!”
Help us make 325 students’ lives a little brighter. Your 100 rmb donation provides them with more than a tube of toothpaste. This year they will receive a new backpack, toiletries, hats, scarves and school supplies.
Cards are available from Jonathan, Mas and Frank in Grade 11 and Mr Romero.
