Term 3, week 7
St Augustine's big week .....
Thanks to those who have been working behind the scenes to ensure that both days run smoothly. For those not directly involved, your job is to whip up the enthusiasm required to make it a memorable event. The little ones are easy, it's the big ones that are more of a challenge. Just keep reminding them that it is NOT a casual clothes day and that they are expected to add to the colonial atmosphere no matter how daggy they may feel.
Thursday is a change of pace as we welcome back Mike Askew from Monash Uni. Be prepared to get involved and to challenge you thinking about mathematics. A good day is a guarantee. Thanks to Jacqui for her work in getting this day organised.
September is submission writing time for our funded students. Please be considerate of the time that Denise needs to put into this and not expect her to step out of her role to cover you. Besides our current students we also have a number of new submissions that need to be prepared. It's time consuming and sometimes a tedious process.
Congratulations to Chris (head Nerd), Mark (super Nerd) and the Robo soccer team who cleaned up at the State finals on Friday. The Aussie finals are in Brisbane in September!!!! I think we might have to look for some sponsors to help get them there.
As always, be happy and enjoy your children.
