operation after Christmas as well as ongoing

treatment. To help, the

SRC will be selling raffle tickets for the chance for

lucky students to win one of two CareFlight teddies or

some sporting equipment. The SRC will be selling raffle tickets from Tuesday 3

rd of December under the COLA

each morning. Raffle tickets cost $2 each. This is a very

worthy cause, so please get involved!

STUDENT REPORTS Semester 2 reports will be issued to parents this Friday 6

December. Students will have their report in a sealed

envelope for delivery to their parents.

All students have achieved personal milestones this year

friendship and encouragement.

FOR THE LOVE OF SCIENCE

Science is a method of engaging with, and

trying to understand, the world. Professor Tim

Flannery says if a child is interested in pursuing

science, encourage them to develop persistence

and humility – the idea that they won't always

be right.
