Optus mentors have been visiting six of our children in the Middles to be their reading buddy. The children have been meeting with them weekly and along with the reading, have really been getting to know each other. The Optus team have been so impressed with our students that they have volunteered to organise a fundraising event to raise funds to purchase more reading material. How fantastic is that!

The Middles are participating in 'Thinking Clubs' which are rotational groups on Wednesday afternoons. The children are mixed throughout these groups working co-operatively and having heaps of fun! Activities include marble run, cube construction, bridge connection, lego building in the ICT room and playdough sculpturing with IWB audio.

The Junior School Council is going to restart the chess club. The students will run the club by themselves and use the outside chess tables. This will begin early term four. **
