Senior Unit Update Week 6 Term 4

Exhibition is over! It was a great exhibition that was put on and congratulations to everyone for their hard work. It was excellent to see all the people who came through to have a look at what had been done and to hear the comments about the work. While we are still in the final stages of packing up after exhibition we remembered that there is still 4 weeks of term left to go and plenty to be done. Here is a rundown of some of the things ahead.

Faith Challenge
This Friday the Faith Challenge team will go to Faith to compete in athletic events. We wish all the students involved the best of luck and hope they do their best.

Senior Unit Movie Night
Tonight a form came home about a Senior Unit Movie night. Organised by some Senior Unit students it will a great chance to spend time together in a relaxed event. We hope to see you there.

19/11/2018

Dear Parent and Caregivers

As we close on our time in the Senior Unit we are organising a movie night to celebrate our time together. This is an initiative of Senior Unit students and will provide an opportunity to spend time together in a social setting before they go their separate ways.

The idea for the night is to have some oval games, spend time together and watch “The Greatest Showman” to help celebrate our time together.

We are looking at having some pizza for tea on the night.

When: Friday 30^th of November 2018

Final Thought

While “don’t you dare” is grammatically fine, “do not you dare” just sounds plain wrong.
