Athletics day – LAST EVENT 6X200M Relay

Dear all,

Many thanks for participating either as a student or staff member on an event! Working together you helped to create lots of personal bests and also see each other in a different setting to a ‘classroom’! Again Mr Dutton and Mr Stevens thank you all for your energy and efforts during the day.

Last event will run TODAY (Thursday) at lunchtime (13:00 start) so please can ALL 6X200m Relay runners meet Mr Dutton and Mr Stevens at the start/finish line on the track.

ONLY students nominated to run will run (unless there are absences)

See you all out there for the FINAL event!

Mr Dutton and Mr Stevens.

DC12 app and meeting

Dear Grade 12 students,

(1) The Discover China trip provider (Keystone) requires participants to create a profile on their app, which substitutes the printed waiver forms. You’ll also be able to access packing list and detailed itinerary. To register, follow these steps before Friday April 19th.

Go to http://program.keystone-adventures.com and enter the trip ID (171) and your student code (Xu3bdU). Follow the steps and enter your information accurately.

(2) We will have a meeting on Monday at 3:15 in the LGR for all students in Grade 12 to let you know the latest (and likely final) itinerary and answer any questions you might have about the trip.

Thanks!

Mr Mello and the DC12 team
