Our speech contest took place last Saturday and it was a great success! Thanks to all of our students who took part. Their dedication and enthusiasm made it a wonderful show. Many thanks also to the High School students who set up the show and Junior High School students for being our MC. They did a fantastic job and really helped us on the day. We also had a special guest speech from one of our Junior High School students which was very impressive. I think that our younger students saw what they can achieve with us in the future. This year`s contest was very tightly contested due to the high quality of all of the speeches. It was difficult to decide who would go to the contest, and the judges said that they had a hard time choosing a winner, so we are proud of all of the students for the effort they put in. Well done everyone!
We have a day off next Monday for Labour Thanksgiving Day. This day celebrates the year`s hard work and was originally established as a harvest celebration. It falls on a Monday this year so that gives us a long weekend. What have you got planned for the three day holiday? I`m going to get some Christmas shopping done. I just hope it`s not too busy out there! Whatever your plans are, enjoy the holiday.
