Can't believe it's more than halfway through the term. So much going on.
We had a great time with Apirana Taylor and Kate de Goldi last week, with some great writing from boys who participated.

Lots of new books in the libraries at the moment, so come and take a look.

We just did a check to see who has taken the most books out of the library since we have been on our present system, Accessit. And guess who!!! no, not me (although I'm up there :)
Luke Stanley-Ryan - 633 books borrowed
Tejas Kalidas             318 books borrowed
Matthew Flavin         291
Henry Zwart              263
Kaushal Patel            262
James Seidelin          254

That's a lot of reading! well done - now to see who reads the most for this year! there's a challenge for you.

Ready for the school ball? Try this

Life can be like a game of snakes and ladders …

Finn’s druggie Dad is on trial for manslaughter, and so Finn is sent away to an exclusive boarding school to remove him from the small-town gossip machine. At first he feels a bit like a fish out of water, but soon makes some good friends, and even scores with the much-lusted-after Mia, who plays in the symphonic band with him. However there is someone who knows Finn’s secret …

Blackmail and lies … will Finn ever face the truth? It’s not until disaster befalls one of his friends at an illicit after-ball party that Finn learns what is most important in life.
