Book Week
In Week 4 the College celebrated Book Week with lots of competitions and events. The theme this year was 'Curious Creatures and Wild Minds'. Every morning in homeroom there was a famous creature from literature guessing competition that was hotly contested. McCarthy were the clear winners followed by Mercy, Champagnat and Tracey.
During the week, everyone who borrowed a book received a raffle ticket and the winner was Paige Mackey. Two other competitions were composing a description of an imaginary creature, won by Liam Perich, and drawing an imaginary creature, won by Amelie Collard.
On Friday we held the Parade of Characters, thanks to all the students who dressed up. Winners were William Collis, Abigail Lydon, Peta Girdler and Violet Campbell.
The staff also got into the spirit by dressing up as characters from Grimm's Fairy Tales and Alice in Wonderland.
We also held a mufti day on the Friday in conjunction with NAIDOC Week and we raised $505.00 that has been donated to the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, who provide books in remote Aboriginal communities and create books in specific Aboriginal languages.
Thank you to everyone for your participation.
