Now that was an Entertaining Assembly!!

Friday the 29th of October was Bandanna Day -which raises money for Canteen. It was awesome to see so many Room 9ers and the rest of the school wearing their Bandannas (and it was a bonus mufti day!) A big congrats to Georgia, Ella and Brieanna from Room 13 who organised the day and raised $1605.00!! Meaning some fantastic teachers from Balmac got their hair completely shaved off!! Well done Mr Clarke, Mr Napier, Mr Henderson, Mr Sloan, Mr Tarapi, Mr Friend, Matua and Mr Martin!

Welcome to Term 4!!

Hello Room 9ers!! Wow the year is flying by and it is hard to believe we are into your last term at Balmac already! I'm really looking forward to an action packed term, with lots of learning and fun in and out of the classroom.
As you know, our topic for this term is CHALLENGE and will be based around the following: drugs and alcohol education, UCAP review, poetry and speeches, algebra and geometry, class touch and non stop cricket competitions, athletics, science technology challenges… not to mention the Year 8 lip sync and social, Challenge Day Out… as you can see lots of exciting things ahead!!

Remember the most important thing to keep in mind is that a lot of the end of year activities we do as a class are not a given. You need to keep up the hard work throughout this term (in and out of the classroom)… this includes meeting deadlines for homework and assignments, learning your spelling words and getting them signed off, generally being organised with PE gear, pens, glue sticks etc.

Last night we had our Term 3 Sharing night - well done to you all for the way you presented your inquiries and discussed them with the parents :-). Also a HUGE thank you to Jono, Connor and Aleisha for spending their day and editing and putting together our ads! They looked great! And also to Mackenzie, Taylor and Harry who were our presenters for the evening.

Hope you all have a great week with Ms Richardson - remember your first homework assignment for the term (speeches and reading log) is due on Tuesday 26th October - look forward to hearing your speeches!!
