Yesterday Willow and Chloe shared their multi-pathway story/game. It features a princess who is fearless and fights for what's right.
They've turned the fairytale stereotype on its head. In their fairytale the princess rescues the prince. I loved the idea of their strong, fearless justice-seeking princess and when I asked them where they got that idea from they said,
"That's what we're taught in this school. It's what we're taught to be."
We're so proud of you girls.
Classes for 2019
Reports go home tomorrow. Your child's stationery list for their new class will be with the report. All classes are within Ministry size guidelines for 2019 and the Board is putting in funding to do this. I have honoured all conversations I have had with parents and agreements regarding class placements for those children on the age borderlines.

Year 7 & 8 Social
Last Friday the Home and School provided the year 8 graduation dinner. The year 8's had a wonderful evening. The year 7's joined them after dinner for dancing. The dance mix was our usual mix of traditional dances that the children have learnt, interspersed with their own dance choices. The evening really raved up when Michael Misiloi joined us.
