The Middle Syndicate held their Oral Presentation Finals on Friday. Finalists from each class presented their speech or poem to the syndicate and parents. Well done to all of the finalists. We thoroughly enjoyed your presentations. Congratulations to Jackson and Aston who won first and third places in the Year 4 group.

Last week the Junior Syndicate held a mufti-day to raise money for their end of year trip. Here are some of the Room 9 kids in their Freaky Friday costumes.

On Friday last week the Junior and Senior Syndicates had their Flower Day. The kids in the Middle Syndicate brought along material to make sand saucers, miniature gardens and grass creations. Everyone really enjoyed having a chance to relax and be creative.
