Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas students

from Mr B

What will 2009 hold in stall for our intrepid students?

Will the boys enjoy their first stint playing for Iona? Will the girls play sport for SJV? Where is the next camp going to be? Will SJV win an award at the EKKA music festival?

Hmmm... incidentally, I'd like to keep blogging in 2009 with an interesting theme ... books ...what do you think?

Mara Strikes Gold!

Mara does a fantastic job in the Dralion competition. We reckon she should have WON!

Great artwork, Mara!

Christmas Time?

4/5B, 4/5 J and 4/5R have proven it.
You don't have to talk about money at Christmas. It didn't even make it to our "top ten".
What is Christmas? Why do you like it?

Thank Goodness That's Over!

Well, it was a big night. Everyone did magnificently, and I congratulate you on your hard work. Some people might like to seriously consider Drama as a subject in secondary. You’re good!
