SCHOOL MUSICAL
It’s that time of year again when out talented students and staff present our annual school musical. This your it is ‘You’re History’ – a nerdy teenager turns a portable classroom into a time machine and the detention class is sent hurtling back through history! The time-warped team discover vicious Vikings, pilates-practicing Pirates, disco-happy Gladiators, a rapping Romeo and Juliet and the infamous Oedipus on an episode of ‘Ellen’, with overtones of Jerry Springer.
With parallels between hierarchical history & today’s schoolyard, here is a rollicking musical chock-full of wonderful characters, historical mayhem and sensational songs.
Ticket are available through Trybooking. You can access tickets via the link below.

WAR ON WASTE
Thank you to all of the students that contributed to the Joey's Bake Off and the Waste Free Lunch Box Competition on Wednesday 5 June for World Environment Day.
The theme of World Environment Day is "air pollution"- a call to action to combat one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time. World Environment Day invites us all to consider how we can make changes in our daily lives to reduce air pollution, which in turn can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and benefit people's health too. Making your own food rather than buying pre packaged goods, is a good start. Pollution is created when producing the packaging and then in some cases, burning it off.
Congratulations to the following people for placing in the Bake Off:
Students
First Place - Taneaa Kibaimoa-Teatu
Second Place - Joshua Guerrera
Third Place - Nicole Bourke
Teachers
First Place - Mrs King
Second Place - Mr Fenech
Congratulations to Bree Hobbs for winning the Waste Free Lunch Box Competition.
Don't forget, we Meet every Tuesday A Week at lunch in F3. Please come and join us.
