Last Thursday, two of our Year 6 students Cielo and Monique participated in the Blacktown Cluster Voice of Youth Final against 6 other competitors from 3 different schools within the Blacktown area.
Although the girls were nervous, they presented their speeches with poise and confidence. There were a variety of speeches that informed, persuaded and entertained the audience. The contestants were judged on the content of their speech, their use of voice and gestures and the overall effectiveness of their speech to engage the audience.
We are so proud of Monique and Cielo for representing our school in the Blacktown Voice of Youth Finals. Congratulations to Monique who came runner up in our cluster final! A fantastic effort by both girls!

Happy happy MAY birthdays to all our wonderful children who celebrated with family and friends over the last month!!! I can assure you all they had a fabulous time celebrating another year getting older! We had children going out for lunch and dinner at Nandos, Chinese, Sushi and San Churros; going to Timezone, the movies, Olympic Park Pool and Area 51; sharing Zooper Doopers and donuts with friends; and loving opening some presents including robotic dogs, dolls, board games and even a flower pillow; one student even donated food to the poor as part of his birthday celebrations!!! Iβm so glad you all had a wonderful time celebrating you!! ππππππππ»π₯³

We are so excited for our after school NRL sessions starting this afternoon from 3:30pm to 4:30pm. The children thoroughly enjoyed our two sessions over two weeks with the Parramatta Eels. Our girls especially loved having Elsie Albert, Parramatta prop lead the sessions - what an inspiration. ππππππππππ
