Touch Football PSSA Gala Day

Congratulations to our 2 Junior Mixed Touch teams who participated in

the Manning Zone Touch Football Gala Day. It was great to see all of

the students working together and displaying great sportsmanship.

Stage 2 Public Speaking Competition

Last week, Stage 2 held their Public Speaking Competition Final.

Students had to write a two minute speech on a topic of their choice.

Class competitions were held to decide the finalists. A Year 3 winner

and a Year 4 winner were chosen from each class.

The audience and adjudicators were very impressed with the quality of

the speeches as well as the range of interesting topics. All students

should be proud of themselves for making the finals.

Congratulations to Ella Abbott 3/4K who was our Year 3 winner and

Lara Uzun 3-4H who was our Year 4 winner. These students will

present their speech at an upcoming assembly.

Focus On Learning 3/4H had an absolute blast on Monday during our Science Day

activities. Students were challenged to build a newspaper tower that

was structurally strong enough to hold a chocolate on top. They also

had an added challenge to create the tallest tower. All students had a

lot of fun engaging in hands on STEM based activities.
