40 Hour Famine 2018

This year the 40 Hour Famine was held during the weekend of 8th-10th of June. On Friday night a group of students stayed over at school to take part in the 20 Hour Famine. The students had lots of fun performing in front of each other. They could only have barley sugars and Just Juice. The money raised will go to help children living in poverty in South Sudan.

In this year’s 40 Hour Famine the extension group (and several students from Teams 4 & 5) raised a total of $1,584  this year. Congratulations and well done! Thanks to Miss Timmi, Miss Wylma and Miss Haare for your help.

FiaFia 2018 @ Pt England

Last week on Thursday night we held our School FiaFia for 2018. This event is held every two years at our school and is an amazing way to share our many different cultures at our school. It's also a great way for our parents, families and communities to come together. Most importantly it was another opportunity for all of our students to shine.

The movies can be viewed on our school PENN archive. Congratulations to all of our teachers and parents who tutored and managed the groups. Thanks to all of our Pt England families and friends for turning out to support even though the weather was not the best.

Here are just a few of the groups from FiaFia.

On Wednesday, the day before our school FiaFia, the whole school met in the hall for our FiaFia rehearsal. We couldn't sit in front of the big marquee like in previous years due to bad weather. Luckily for us footage of the rehearsal was streamed live onto the screen in the hall. Here are some highlights from the day.
