Mental Health Night

Congratulations and thank you to the Lock

Health Advisory Committee for organizing

and putting on the Mental Health Night

last Wednesday evening. It was a great

night with good food, great company and

terrific speakers. It was special to listen to

Rodney McCallum’s story. What he said

was very moving and poignant and you

could have heard a pin drop in the

audience, so taken were we with what he

was saying. Thank you again Lock Health

Advisory Committee and all their

volunteers, well done.

Pedal to the Metal

As part of their Tech Studies with Mrs

Humphries, the Year 9/10 students

designed and constructed compressed air

powered dragsters. These they tested on

a track of stretched fishing line stretched

across the gym. Through pressure packed

rounds of races Jacob’s speed machine

was the undefeated champion. Great

effort students and thank you Mrs

Humphries.

Fore!!!

Samuel Pearce and Aaron Siebert

PCW CORNER

The following is a good reminder to us all to be careful how we judge others!

Everyone Has a Story in Life

A 24-year-old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…

“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”

Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year olds childish behaviour with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed…

“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”

The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…

“Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?” The old man smiled and said… “I did and we are just coming from the hospital. My son was blind from birth. He just got his eyes today.

Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.

Enjoy the next couple of weeks! See you all next term!
