A visit from the Scientwist team will bring

Science Week to an explosive end on Friday. The

Tournament of Minds Teams at Shepparton

We wish our 3 teams all the best as they head

to Shepparton this weekend for the big finale-

a journey that will continue, should any of the

teams come away with top prize.

is all about celebrating books and stories.

The theme for this year’s Book Week is

“Books light up our world”. Children may come to school on this day,

either dressed as something to do with

this theme, or they could come as their

favourite character from fiction.

The parade will be held at 2.00 pm.

Parents are invited to attend.

The Book Fair will also be open on that

day in the school library, so that children

may purchase books.

There will also be a special lunch from
