Here are the tasks for this week: Term 4, Week 7.

Remember to study for the Science test about electricity & solar power on Wednesday - it is quite tough! Go through the notes in your books.

If you are going to the Interzone Athletics and/or the St Mary's orientation day, you will have to figure out with your group partners when you are going to work on your German roleplay, cake decorating and holiday task.

Year 8s - remember you will also need to be thinking about the Yr 8 song and the Yr 8 assembly.
Year 7s - please bring back your camp medical & permission forms.

Let me know if you need help with getting anything organised - it is getting crazy busy!
