The Final Wrap....

Well the end of the year has come around pretty quickly after a busy term 4. It has been another great year for Balmacewen and the students of room 13. It has been great seeing students develop in confidence and skill as the year has progressed. I will enjoy seeing this years students as role models around the school next year as year 8's leading the way for our new year 7's.

I would also like to make a big general 'thanks' to everyone who ha had an input into our year - helping out with class trips, camp, rockclimbing, early settlers, Chinese Gardens, Swimming... and any other activities I have missed that we have had. Without the great support from parents it makes it difficult to run the programmes we do - so thanks heaps for making our year operate as smooth as it has.

I would like to wish you all a safe and enjoyable time over the next month and festive season and look forward to seeing everyone around the school again next year at some stage.

Well after 8 weeks of racing around the world learning about different countries we had a very close 1st-2nd place finish slpit by only half a point!!
The 1st and 2nd placed teams went down to Bowl Line today as their prize and had a bit of a bowling challenge. It was evident from the start that the girls had the technique while the boys had the speed but lack of technique.

2nd Deanna (55)
3rd= Daymon & Tayler (52)
4th Zoe (50)
