We won Class of the Week last week and so we got to use the Nintendo DsLites in Golden Time.

Most of us knew how to use them, but for some people it was their first time.

Lots of people joined up together to play games against each other, but by the end nearly everyone was chatting to each other using picto chat.

It was great fun to use these handheld consoles with friends and a wonderful reward for trying hard!

Last week Mrs Dyer visited the national capital, Canberra, to receive an award. She was presented with her Australian Government 2008 National Award for Quality Schooling - Achievement by a Principal award.

A photographer came to school and took some photos of Mrs Dyer and students for the newspaper.

We are all very proud of her and what she does for our school. Mrs Dyer presented a cheque to the school at Assembly and everyone gave her three HUGE cheers!!!!!

Mrs Dyer is soon off to Harvard University in the USA to take part in a couple of “summer school” courses – good luck and learn lots. Wish we were going with you

Michael, Hafiz, Penelope, Souad and I surprised selectors, at the district soccer trials yesterday. With great excitement we went and showed them what we’ve got
