Today is the last day. WooHoo! Four weeks of peace and quiet in the library, and we are hoping to get a few little projects completed that we haven’t had the chance to do throughout the semester.
The school is running a Drug Awareness Expo today and the Library is hosting all the organisations that came on board to help out. It is awesome – we have people everywhere at various tables all through the Library. This includes Legal Aid, Sexual Health, Alcohol Awareness and lots of others. Our school nurse has been busy pulling all of this together and has done a fabulous job. Thank you, Mel!
I also set up a few DVD’s for the students to watch concerning the effects of alcohol and ice on the human body along with PowerPoint presentations about the dangers of smoking.
Elsewhere in the school there are sports programs and drama activities along with drumming and Hip Hop events. The Science department is busy demonstrating the effects of alcohol on the brain by melting polystyrene brains in turpentine much to the delight of the students.
We also have the Grade 5 & 6s visiting from the Primary Campus who are just delightful. Their manners are fantastic and they are so involved in what is happening - we are looking forward to seeing them here in High School.Coming up at the start of next semester we will have lots of new ‘stuff’’ to introduce to the staff. This will include magazines and new technology to use with our students to encourage literacy and reading.
To all staff and students – have a safe and relaxing 4 week break and we will see you all back at the end of July.
