Term 3, 2017

Welcome to Term 3, 2017.

Congratulations dear student on having made it half way through Year 3 on your way to Year 4. Already we have seen huge growth in your ability this year. What are your goals for your personal learning for the rest of this year? What would you like to improve on in Semester Two? Is focus something that you think you might be able to improve?

We welcome Aimee this term and hope that she will have a fantastic time in 3NR.  We specialise in daily fitness and daily singing.  We understand that you’re into music, so there be should plenty of things to keep you moving.

You will notice that the new UOI is on energy, which, when we make the connection to global warming, is perhaps the biggest issue for the next few decades. Full details of the UOI are on the UOI#3 page.
