The Grade 12 Graduates have challenged the staff to a game of baseball to end the year this Thursday, May 17th, at 4:00. We will be using a “Chicago Style” soft ball (16 inches in diameter and easy to catch bare-handed) so there is no need for a glove.

If you have any interest in playing, please contact Darren or Rick, or show up at the pitch at 4:00. All staff are invited to join, no experience necessary.

Friday Music Trivia

This Friday in extended advisory, we are planning to run Ms Amy Keus’ famous Music Trivia competition. Note that Grade 9 is not involved as they have a PP session.

The plan:
•Three advisories, one from each house, meet in a designated room.
•Each advisory should create 3 more or less even sized mixed gender teams – so there are 9 teams in each room. (Note: Gr 8-9 advisories will create 2 teams as Gr 9 is out).
•20 questions: PowerPoint and answer sheet to follow.
•Total number of questions answered correctly is recorded and added to give a final score for the advisory.
•All the advisory scores are added together to give a final score for that house.
•Winning house: 60 points, second place: 40 points and third place: 30 points

Thanks for your support!
