Term Three is nearly over!!

This week we have started off with our Year 8 semi final speeches. It was great to listen to such high quality presentations and we look forward to the finals on Friday. From puberty, chickens to fair trade they were both informative and entertaining. Well done to everyone and good luck for Friday especially to Josie representing our class.

On Wednesday we also head out to Tavora to do our annual community services day planting with the yellow eyed penguin trust. This looks like it will be an awesome day with the weather better than the snow of last week!! Don't forget your trowels everyone!!!

Last Friday was the Otago schools cross country here at Balmacewen. Well done to the whole team who again won the team trophy and a special well done to Nicole who got 3rd in the Year 8 girls!

This week there is also excitement building for our DISCO!!!! Make sure on Thursday night you wear your best glow in the dark outfits!

Good luck to the above Year 8 finalists in the speech competition.
